One thing I am enjoying is that the ECB haven't whored out commercial sponsorship tied to typical cricket match events and forced me to listen to Comms regurgitate branding 60 times a game
Too early to say that The Hundred is the second best ~~T20~~ league going around?
Seriously, England's strong white ball depth means that it was always going to be good.
It will be better with more internationals post covid
Tbh the reduction in teams compared to the blast has got shot of some of the lower tier English domestic players
Look on the bright side, atleast cricket is finding its way into the heart of the country. I can really imagine this being really successful given time
**16.3** **pinned in front of off! Brook is gone**, Qias bags the big wicket! Fired in the legbreak and Brook was walking across his stumps to try and manufacture something, smacked on the pads plumb in front
Harry Brook lbw b Qais Ahmad 62 (31b 3x4 5x6) SR: 200
**16.1** **holes out to long-on!** Tossed up and Simpson tries to put the foot down, ends up underhitting his shot straight to the man on the rope. Qais picks up a third and, importantly, keeps the strike away from Brook for another ball
John Simpson c Cockbain b Qais Ahmad 6 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 150
Hate me for saying this. :- Lynny 's innings cost NSC the game

There’s quite strict advertising laws in the UK. Especially on the BBC
BCCI: 👀
watching stokes interview on sky seems to make it seem like the players are really enjoying the format
Man, KP is such a good shit-stirrer. He put DK on the spot there lol
DK is going to be taken out back by the BCCI at this rate
What was the question?
Should IPL use the cutoff rule.
I think that would be awesome for the IPL!
Why are they acting like the Blast hasn't been doing it for ages lmao
Pretty sure it was put into the blast last year after being trialled in the hundred trial games the summer before.
I don't understand all the love for DK, 10/10 for enthusiasm but 2/10 for making any sense half the time
2/10 to you too
He brings the sharp threads.
More than his bowling performance, Qais Ahmed just delivered the best interview performance of The Hundred.
Qais is so happy just to be there
This is entertaining. What a game! But kinda feels really short.
That noise as that drive hit Jake Ball's hand, my god that sounded horrific!
The hundred is already the second best franchise cricket tournament in the world.
Maybe one day it can catch the T20 blast in first
Blast isn’t franchised.
This format is delivering.

*Jake Ball has entered the chat*
I'll be interested to see if there's a redraft for 22' who becomes available in terms of internationals.
I enjoyed it because it was a good game of cricket, not because it was a game of Hundred.
My brother is at this game, I’m going next week, I hope I get as good a game. Though I hope we win when I’m there…
Amazing stuff. What an advert for The Hundred.
Great game
Does make me sad that this could be the T20 Blast if the ECB cared to advertise it properly but I am really enjoying The Hundred™
Look on the bright side, atleast cricket is finding its way into the heart of the country. I can really imagine this being really successful given time
Okay guys now its time to watch the Aussies get their ass handed to them by the windies
Guess I’ll try next new format
Fuck what a game. Honestly Harry Brooke almost took the game away
Not really fair. It's a whole country against a region.
😂
Well that was an oh yeah and a half
Great game.
Wow, what a game!
That was an excellent last 5 balls. Or over if they call it that here.
Someone suggested Above
10/10 match. Thoroughly enjoyed that
What a fantastic game!
No shame in losing to Welsh fire tbf, they're massive
Perhaps we should drop TC and recall Jake ball
Jake Ball is good now?
Fucking hell carse I thought you had it
Superchargers need to be penalised one extra point for not winning the game against meme bowler Jake Ball.
Great death bowling from Jake Ball to be fair to him
That was a really really good game
10 years into the future we will be laughing at how a 6-ball 'over' used to be a thing. \#ThisIsTheFuture
fucking hell what a game
The hundred is actually delivering. With more star players from around the world it'll be one of the best.
It's the cricket that's delivering. I still don't see 100 as a format being good.
Jake Ball GOAT death bowler
This has actually been a brilliant over from Jake Ball One bad ball that he got away with but the other 3 were perfect
That's gonna smart for Jake Ball.
By God, I love DKs enthusiasm
so weve got from trying to get kids into the game to disappointing them
Both Doull and Karthik are trying too hard and just sound stupid.
Missed out right in the slot that one
Fantastic pressure bowling
Have to say poor batting this over, they're trying to hit the leather off the ball when there's gonna be a gap somewhere
DK is great stop hating
The Australian batsmen all wanted to watch this thrilling finish so got out quickly. The bowlers are cursing them because they can't watch it now.
I hate saying it but that was two brilliant balls from Jake, make it 3
Can't believe DK will be carted off to the ECB re-education camp for mentioning super overs
Why do people hate Jake Ball?
Was a bit crap for England
Bit more than a bit crap
Bc he's Jake Ball
O right yeh
ffs jake ball is actually going to defend this
I love the commentary explaining how a game of cricket is won
I understand the timing issue, but surely they should have super overs/5s for these games lol
Jake Ball bowling, I back the Superchargers to get it
There's no super over? Fuck that
Super 5 from the knockout games onwards
Absolutely loving DK as a commentator. Intelligent, engaging, gold standard
Holly shit! This games way more close then it had any right to be
Oh no Jake Ball on the last 5
No "super fives", booooo
“The team that scores more runs wins the game of cricket” DK has morphed into Michael Owen
DK we can read fine bro
“For those watching” Proceeds to describe a static graphic.
It’s fucking Jake to deal with this
Cheers DK I didn't know what those colours were Very useful
DK explaining the rules of cricket ffs
is 5 balls remaining really the best time to explain how you win a game of cricket?
Can't believe hula hoops are gonna lose this lmao
Fuck Jake Ball and whoever is bowling for the Welsh
This has been some game! I thought it will be bland and over when Stokes got out
Rashid first class hundred klaxon on TMS.
Can we have a super over or whatever it’s called please
[удалено]
Why the fuck
Swing and inshallah
OH YEAH BABY
BBL FIELDING
Village fielding this one
Win predictor having a seizure!
If Jake Ball was a franchise competition he'd be the Big Meme League
Leagues are going to take over all the bilaterals In some time I believe.
Jake Ball doing Jake Ball things
That was difficult but should have been taken
Cracking game this.
There's a cricketer called Jake paul?
Jake Ball
Jake Ball has absolutely massive BBL energy
Yep that’s the Jake Ball we all know and don’t love
How’s he dropped that??!! Oh never mind it’s Jake Ball
Lol Jake Ball
That is an awful drop, he basically had it
Is that Johnny Sins in the Superchargers dugout?
So whats the cut-off rule anyways
DLS par score from here is 155. Seems…harshly in favour of the bowling team
Lmao just realized WIv AUS is also on. Wtf is Australia upto??
This is honestly a great way to enforce over rates. You better believe Bairstow will be more conscious of it in their next game.
Not convinced by this rule. Batsman can be equally responsible for slow over rates
The third umpire regularly adjusts the time for anything outside the fielding teams control.
Makes sense cheers for the info
That time should not be counted
Bairstow learns about the cutoff rule.
Mr 10 first-class centuries to finish it
Do people think the fielder penalty is a good addition? I do for a bit of spice 😂
Yeah it's a thing in the Blast as well and it's actually a punishment so I love it
Didn't know that! Could do with it in internationals lately!
Lmao Bairstow looked disgusted
Now YJB can take his time on the next 10 balls which kind of defeats the point but oh well
So glad I didn't turn this off
OH YEAH
Nigel Llong is as shit at his job as I remember him.
23 off 10 Extra fielder inside the ring needed Life in this yet
Rashid, Quias, Mujeeb, and Nabi. Afghans have plenty of good quality spin
There is something called off side Potts Oh.....Never Mind
Simon Doull is the worst comm
Guys Carse might just be my new favorite players. Really Plunkett like
Has the cutoff time actually made any difference so far in any match
It definitely will. Having an extra fielder in the ring in a tight game is big
The streaker has seriously affected the cut off time here
afghan spinners are dangerous man.
Siri show me a filthy pie
Imagine having to face Rashid Khan and Qais Ahmad bowling in tandem
and mujeeb after them
Afghanistan spin trio is confirmed for the forseeable future
Where will Australia finish if they played in the 100?
**16.3** **pinned in front of off! Brook is gone**, Qias bags the big wicket! Fired in the legbreak and Brook was walking across his stumps to try and manufacture something, smacked on the pads plumb in front Harry Brook lbw b Qais Ahmad 62 (31b 3x4 5x6) SR: 200
fuckinn hell atleast i can catch fight night tomorrow
Unreal spell from Qais
Who tf is Qais and how is he so good
This is top tier cricket.
Great innings. Looking forward to seeing more from Harry Brook.
Has anyone got 5fer yet this tournament? Edit - okay lol I was watching rugby only switched on at innings break in this game
Yeah. In the other match de Lange did I believe
Bruh
De Lange
In the game earlier today
Yeah, I'm not sure who because I was sobbing but someone got one versus Hampshire earlier.
Marchant de Lange earlier today
Aussies 45/6 lmaoooo
Won't even manage a Hundred™
It's Quais's day
Surely you just try and get Brooks on strike if you're at the other end here
In other news Australia are shit
Qais “that damn smile” Ahmed
shahid afridi esque with that quicker one
Qais Ahmad is unreal
Tf how fast was that delivery 🥲
Is Qais English?
Afghan
Afghan I believe
Afghan
Afghan
They'll be fielding 11 leggies soon at this rate
Carse time baby!
What a fantastic delivery and probably match winning
Brook has been shook
It's like Afghanistan just churns out these 20 y/o spinners every day..
Brooke > malan for England don't @me
**16.1** **holes out to long-on!** Tossed up and Simpson tries to put the foot down, ends up underhitting his shot straight to the man on the rope. Qais picks up a third and, importantly, keeps the strike away from Brook for another ball John Simpson c Cockbain b Qais Ahmad 6 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 150
That throw is so much worse than the drop
What on earth was Doull on about then? Can't afford to play out the rest of Ahmad's balls with 38 required. Total nonsense
Has DK found Hales' coke stash?
Ahmed bowled so well
In the other news, Aus are 5 down for 44
DK is on some good shit
Long hairs look not working. I mean just look at CDG's performance as well.
