Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Sure the same was said about 50 over cricket and 20 over cricket.

Fundamentally they're the same game. 2 teams, same main rules.

This is a bastardisation of the rules.

And remember how ODI cricket came into being.

Whatever we call it, I think it's an interesting concept.

The 3 teams are never on the field at the same time but what happens in the first 6 overs against the first team affects the second 6 overs Vs the second team.

I doubt it becomes a major format but as a fun one-off format every so often I think it works

Why not have a 3 team FA cup final where you'll agree against Brighton for the first 25mins before taking that 2-0 lead into the 2nd 25mins against man city?

Or let's just have 3 bowlers running in at once and only one has a ball, but you don't know which and you have to guess.

Or even better, let's have multiball.

Those suggestions are no less ridiculous than this stupid fucking 3 team nonsense

If that's the way they want to go then fine, but call it a different sport.

Futurama got there first (with baseball), but this is to cricket what that is to baseball
