The Hundred continues to polarize opinion

On Sunday, Aug. 16, the men’s and women’s finals of The Hundred will be contested at Lord’s. The competition is in its sixth year and has been a disruptive force since its conception in 2017. The format is disruptive, consisting of 100 deliveries, broken into sets of five, with a bowler able to deliver 10 successive balls. Players for this year’s event were acquired mainly by auction, rather than selection, with four overseas players, instead of three, allowed in each starting XI. A further disruption occurred over the winter when equity shares were sold in the eight franchises.
