We've got another double header live on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds today 📺🎵 But if you haven't been watching... here's a basic introduction to The Hundred! 🏏

I’ll give you a basic introduction - a competition nobody asked for, crammed into the middle of summer at the expense of all other cricket both domestic and international, then sold off to foreign investors for private gain.

Give it a rest @bbctms Please stop with this nonsense. This is desperate stuff and pretty embarrassing 😎

Keep on trying to convince yourselves anyone cares. They don’t. Well no one with any real interest in cricket anyway.

The only people watching it are those who are betting on it. A rubbish product, even the players don’t care

Give it a bloody rest. Test Match Special should have Test match cricket on the airwaves during this part of the summer, not this nonsense that no one wants.

Here’s my basic introduction. The Hundred is fucking :shit. You are welcome.

Let me have a try… It’s cricket for bored schoolkids during summer holidays and people who don’t have the attention span for proper cricket. Oh and there’s only 8 teams, whose identity is based on what brand of crisps sponsors them.

The BBC used to have Test Match coverage with John Arlott and Rex Alston , now we have “The Hundred” with a bunch of people who would be more suited to presenting children’s television. The decline of civilisation before your very eyes.

We don't need an intro the @thehundred, we need it to go away so we can play red ball cricket during July and August. It is why we cannot compete with #Australia or #India.

A summary. Players who only care about the money performing in front of a crowd who don't care for a TV company just filling in time - and otherwise don't care about the game of cricket.

Patronise the pants off everyone. Away you go!

No thanks. Try getting people into proper cricket

These commentators are awful. We all know why Hartley gets the job batting for the other side. Tick in a box. No talent.

The BBC's coverage of the Hundred is unbearable to watch - proper cringe. Sky's is far more professional.

Cringe. Its a garbage plastic waste of time that will shortly be binned off for proper cricket

It’s shit Easy

Yes that will win the over 😂 The absolute desperation is embarrassing bbc are turning into sky cricket !

The replies to this are embarrassing and shows how cricket fans too often have their head in the sand when it comes to growing the game.

Oh just fuck off with this Mickey Mouse woke shit 💩

Explain to me as though I were a 10-year old, how to tune the TV to never have to watch this shite

Two words for this…shite………and shite

Surprised you stuck with 11 players since your corporate geniuses decided it’s impossible for kids to count to 6 and 12.

The once great institution that was TMS has come to this ! FFS !

I’d rather watch Tottenham than the Hundred and that’s saying summit

It’s August. Where is Test Match cricket? FFS?

The Hundred is like my poetry: it is calculated to get under the skin of traditionalists.

Hartley is insufferable

These commentators on bbc are awful

we lost test cricket in the best part of summer for this

Hartley, hit the off 🖲

A dumbed down version of Cricket.

What they havent said is that the franchise teams are made up with spurious names sold to millionaires. everyone makes money except the fans who pay a fortune to get in to the grounds & also for the burger & beer at sky rocket prize & watch masala cricket & no one cares who wins

Sounds like cricket for idjuts.
