If I ever watch the 100 I watch it on sky because the commentators and coverage is better.

My ‘predictable’ comment was aimed at Randall as I could have guaranteed he would have come out with something like that
As someone who champions those formats and the style of play they influence, surely those figures must come as a surprise to you?

Re: cricket thread
So for what purpose do they go then? I mean I don’t like show jumping so I wouldn’t attend an event. It seems strange that they are paying money to watch something they apparently don’t like.Randall wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:22 pmThe analogy was clear enough?

I know you don’t like the T20 version of the game, but do you not accept this is cricket and based on attendance figures, is the most popular format of the game.
