They’re hoping to attract people who don’t normally watch cricket because of the telly coverage. Hopes there’s lots of those because cricket fans won’t be touching it with a barge pole IMO. 😂

I will withold judgement to avoid sounding like a 70s buffer moaning about Packer. And take the attitude like I do to crap TV in general: 'Who cares, it isn't aimed at me'.

I would absolutely no problem with it, if it didn't involve hammering the final nails into the coffin of domestic first class and 50 over competitions.

I just think it adds nothing that T20 doesn't already have.

10 ball over. Rest of cricket is going to end up like Betamax tapes or BSB’s ‘squarial’.
Embrace the future.

Isn't it back to the sixties? Didn't the Aussies use to have eight ball overs?

I believe four ball overs were once standard too.
Despite not really wanting it to happen, a speck of interest in the Southampton based team seems to have developed and I'm slightly annoyed with myself for it. I was thinking I might even go to a match.

Lords is closer than White Heart Lane - and I have no problems supporting ‘London’ teams in general - used to go London Knights (ice hockey superleague) frequently when I was still fanatically supporting Chelmsford Chieftains- but that was more like supporting a Premiership soccer team as well as your local Conference side...
