County Competitions viability now in question

I dont always agree with George Dobell but here he comprehensively demolishes the rationale for The Hundred

The Cricketer also asks pointed questions about what are the non-existent measures for success of The Hundred

I'm surprised that Cricinfo allowed Dobell to write that piece.

I have said for years that I believe I could come up with a better blueprint for the domestic game. The problem is some of the members not willing to accept any change and would want us to go back to playing 24 3-day games a year... Furthermore, there are much better options available for the "problems" invented by the ECB to justify the creation of the H*ndred.
