Further to last night's post, I've seen it suggested online that the real reason the ECB were itching to create a new format is because they allowed T20 to slip away from them without patenting or copyrighting the idea, missing out on millions in the process. The Hundred is a concept they'll hold all the licensing and merchandising rights to, and they'll milk it as much as they can, without any real concern for the effect it may have on the sport.
Sadly, that sounds very plausible to me.
