I’m just loving all the bits of trying to attract non-cricket people, the little bat and ball symbols, all the pink. But wow those graphics.

My first attempt at watching it... Its horrible... I'm trying to see how many wickets have been lost but can't.

Still big crowd and loads of kids... But wtf are 5 ball overs about?

I'm intrigued with how it works with the 5 and 10 ball overs and the strategy behind them because it's as new for the players as it is for us. Those side graphics though...

The pink flashy side bar reminded me less than 10 balls is truly annoying.

My thoughts exactly

Ohhh and a flashy bar to let us know who won. (Switched channel now so I’m assuming it stays wonderful).

It was decent cricket though.

I realise that they want it to be different but the IPL is very difficult to compete against

Its gimmick cricket, where they took sometbing simple and tried to simplify it further, but instead made it more confusing!

So it's been running for a while now.... Anyone changed their opinion that this will last this summer and disappear back to the arse from which it came?

I'm going to watch the Southern Braves(I think that's what they're called) on Friday at the Rose Bowl. Quite looking forward to it.

I'm a Somerset supporter usually but Southampton is closer than Cardiff.

I love the games and the coverage, the graphics leave a bit to be desired.

Decent cricket, surely you jest?

T20 and this 100 debacle are just rounders or baseball in disguise. Is there little wonder that the test side find if hard to score 300 runs when we have such vile strains of a game that in its purist form is the ultimate in physical chess?

The names of the teams make me shudder and the fact that the main sponsors are all fast / snack food manufacturers says it all.

We become more Americanised with each passing day. The bastardisation of a beautiful game into quick burst of slash and hack is just awful.

WG will be turning in his grave.

Quite agree it’s the beginning of the end for cricket as we know it!

I suppose the Birmingham broccoli or the Lords legumes would not get as much sponsorship... Perhaps the Durham diabetics or the Edgbaston endomorphs.. To go alongside the KFC canterbury chickens and the burgerking Bristol pounders...

Ah the power of the sponsors...
