Would love to know if the ECB are going to go ahead with this weird idea. We already have County cricket, T20, One Day Cup etc. If they want to get people into cricket then they need to get either County, T20, One Day Cup and some Test matches on BBC/ITV or C4 etc. I got into cricket from an early age because I got bought a cricket set when I was young and I played the game and I also managed to watch England Test matches on C4 in the summer. I think you learn a game easier by playing it and understanding the rules. The problem is people think cricket is complicated and a lot of people are put off with Test and County matches as they go on for 4-5 days and that's why they need to get more coverage for T20 and One Day matches. When the World Cup final was on C4 and Sky last year it received huge viewing figures and got people interested. T20 games can be over in 90 minutes to 2 hours. One Day Matches take about 6-7 hours. So instead of setting up another format which is going to be a fail they need to invest money into T20 and One Day matches and stream them online on Youtube and get them on TV other than Sky etc.
