Richard Thompson has been a bitter disappointment

"The Hundred, Thompson confirms, will only get bigger. 'I've made it clear I feel the governing body should not sell the whole tournament because you're selling summer but we are looking at ways to monetise the teams,' he admitted.

'We're working really closely on this with the counties to look at ways we can co-own the teams and how we can generate significant capital that can be reinvested into the game. That moment is now and after next year the Hundred could look quite different."

Maybe, finally, this is it for the county game. Can't see much good coming from what he's saying.

Gone native as they all do.

All these people see in front of their eyes is . And I genuinely think they are wondering how they personally benefit from this potential money coming in to the game. I don’t believe for a second that any of them care if clubs had more cash. Fact is more cash in to clubs will simply mean more money in to players and agents pockets. This extra income will not benefit fans one bit.
This whole thing stinks. They don’t care a shit about traditional cricket and cricket fans.
