I've not watched any of The Hundred. The branding is obnoxious (who picked those colour combos?!), and for me it's answering a question that Twenty20 had already solved well enough - and The Hundred is doing it in a more complicated way, which just makes it even more wrong. I agree. I thought...

I have a feeling he won't play all 5. He's Broad's bunny, would not be surprised if he gets dropped after 3 tests worth of being worked over.
