I'm not a fan of cricket (Scottish you see, don't understand it), but I've watched the last two nights of The Hundred and found myself enjoying it immensely. Last evening was brilliant. Last minute drama. I could do without the DJ's, interviews and associated nonsense, but I guess that's part and parcel of this format.
Now... I'm aware that this snacks sponsored circus isn't for everyone, but as someone who normally wouldn't watch cricket under any circumstances, surely this is a great way to entice folk like me to get interested in the game.
This is exactly the purpose of The Hundred. It gets people interested that had no prior interest in cricket. Even my Mum came with me to Lord's last year and she didn't know anything about cricket!
Also btw Gers, if you're fed up of the interviews and DJ's then I'd recommend switching over to sky. They're showing every game (I believe they also stream them free on YouTube) and I think they focus on the cricket a bit more.
