    Can't remember these tournaments being formed. Apparently been an annual event since 2017.

    Bring on the "Ultimate Over" cricket; One six-ball over, no batsmen just one stump and a bowler....

    You could take it in turns pulling the stump.

    In case you didn’t know, many of our T20 cricketers are currently playing in the SA tournament and it’s on Sky Sports.
    Players include Archer, Morgan, Curran, Buttler and Roy etc

    How about making it really easy for supporters to be able to digest the game by reducing the game to the toss of a coin and a quick firework display and also sell the rights to Sky to save them having to turn up anyway?
    For heaven's sake if the professional game can't survive in its traditional form then let it go instead of continually bastardising it.

    Trouble is. a lot of the traditional forms eg tests. (Until recently) were dying on there arse. I've allus enjoyed the 40 and 50 over formats. And took a long while to accept the 20 over format especially hating the razzmattaz. But it really is the most popular format among the younger generations.
    The 10 over format I don't think I could ever take to. Even more so when the teams are made up of any tom dick or harry that doesn't represent a county or country. Eg the 100 also.

    For me when you get down to ten overs it makes it pointless. Isn't even an 11 v 11 sport at the level. You're more than likely never going to bat or bowl.

    Sorry I didn’t specify that the South African one is 20 overs but entirely agree about 10 over games being ridiculous.

    The hundred needed to be unisex with all the players getting showered together.
