The Hundred History
In September 2016, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) floated the idea of starting a professional 100-ball cricket format. After some resistance, the 18 first-class counties, the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA), and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) voted in favour of starting a professional competition using this entirely-new format.
As T20 was being played worldwide, the ECB were keen to try something new in order to attract a new fanbase and bring an even faster paced form of cricket to the masses.
For those wondering how 100-ball cricket will work, here are the rules, courtesy of Wikipedia:
- 100 balls per innings
- A change of ends after 10 balls
- Bowlers deliver either five or 10 consecutive balls
- Each bowler can deliver a maximum of 20 balls per game
- Each bowling side gets a strategic time-out of up to two and a half minutes
- A 25-ball powerplay start for each team
- Two fielders are allowed outside the initial 30-yard circle during the powerplay
- Teams will be able to call time-outs, as has been the case in the Indian Premier League since 2009
- A simplified scoreboard is also proposed
Eight city-based franchises will take part in The Hundred. Each franchise will play four games at home and four away (each side will play a 'rival' home and away, and every other side once), with the highest-placed side on the league table going straight into the final. The teams that come second and third will feature in a semi-final, which will take place on the same day as the final.
Each franchise is allowed a squad of 15 players, with a maximum of three overseas players permitted to don their jersey.
