Apparently the BBC TV Deal for the Hundred has now ended...wonder if they can afford to renew? Also Guardian reporting that there has been no interest in the TV broadcasting rights from Sky or TNT for the Pakistan series coming up..

Interesting article. I get the impression that Gidney sees the Hundred/ T20 franchise tournament as the premier domestic competition with the counties becoming feeder teams to the franchise and England teams.

He makes a good point "I think there's probably 30 to 40 players who are currently playing in the Hundred but I don't think they should be. I think they should be playing in the One-Day Cup…"

It would make it more expensive to run but also more attractive to tv companies around the world.
I also think it should be played in Dubai over the Christmas / New Year holiday but I don't think Mr Gidney would go with that one.

MITS ; that was the one point on which I agreed with him but I’m not sure if I believe him.

Whilst waiting for play Kevin Howells was interviewing, I think, the Sussex chairman and the hundread came up. The chairman danced around the questions; denied that CC had been shifted to the edges of the season due to the higher income from the hundread which he said was due to the players not the competition! A lot of BS really..
