A shame to lose any games, but since the Hundred isn’t going anywhere, at least they are going to avoid the farcically long gap between the group stage and the finals and also be able to get more games on at the weekend

If Yorkshire don't win this with the side they are currently putting out they will have bottled it somewhere along the line.

The cup is nowhere near a development competition:
- 3 test players, 3 over 30, just 3 players under the 24.
- Only one player less than 20 List A games.
Counties play 8 List A per year so that is:
- 1 player with almost 2 seasons' experience, 1 with 3 seasons and all the rest with minimum 4 seasons' List A experience.
- And an opening partnership worth a combined 243 List A games and both of who are Test cricketers.

I guess the likes of Luxton, Wharton, Hill, Duke and Revis are too young for franchise cricket.
