Whilst most stuck in the mud types haven't gotten used to T20 cricket yet this year's T10 league has kicked off today in United Arab Emirates. 6 Sussex CC players are involved for the various teams (Phil Salt, David Weise, Chris Jordan, George Garton, Ravi Bopara, Luke Wright) though seeing as the UK is just about announce a travel ban in the UAE that could get interesting.

Sky are showing the matches live (next one is noon on Friday). They're usually about 90 minutes long.

I assume the ECB will be following this up with a new "The 50" competition.

It'll end up being 1 over for each side if this trend continues.

I think the fact that Covid put paid to "The 100" thing last year (and this hopefully) should go on the good news thread

Thanks for the heads up. I'll enjoy watching those Sussex boys in action although it does seem a rather one dimensional format of the greatest game (after snooker).

The matches with a lunchtime start are good to have on a different screen while I'm working from home.

Didnt know there is now 10 over competition. What a joke. Not long to go before no one has time to play proper cricket.

I agree. How long will it be until 5 day matches are competing with 5 over matches. No competition, all the money, hype, excitement, pull, crowds will be drawn to baseball type cricket leaving a big hole in talent for the long game and real cricket.

If they dumb-down cricket much more, pros will be playing 8-a-side pairs cricket on an artificial wicket.

Jordan 2-0-16-1

Outstanding figures in this (currently) shortest format.

I can identify with this form of the game as I usually lasted 3-4 overs batting...

I can always remember on Boxing Day morning 2008 watching the end of a New Zealand v West Indies T20i that was the first to go to a super over after it finished a tie. Charles Colville presenting it on Sky joked that why don't they just the whole hog in the future and just have 1 over games. What visionary.

T20 is cricket for people who don't like cricket. T10 must be for people who can't even concentrate on T20.

Fine in the UAE during lockdown but normally I'd want a bit more drinking time than that too.

Comfortable win for the Qalanders (108-1 in 7.1 overs).

Just a shame there couldn't be a packed crowd to witness such a great cricket match.
