So - the domestic game.
I have to say I have been loving the Hundred. As I have always lived in places that weren't in the County system, so have never really developed an attachment to the County game. Sure it can be good, but you can also end up watching Leicestershire vs. Derbyshire on a drizzly April day in Glossop.
I love how with the Hundred you can listen to/watch all the games, get a sense of the players across all the teams, see the developing narratives, 'root' for a couple of teams etc. That's not even to mention the women's game - the joy of some of the women players at getting to play large venues in front of large crowds has been palpable.
And yet some people hate it, or disparage the whole concept of "franchise" cricket. I don't get it.
