Any qualms I may have about the quality of T20 batting are more than outweighed by the sight of little kids enthralled by each and every ball of an innings, cheering phenomenal catches, forming an emotional connection with their home county, learning the basic laws of the game in a straightforward way (which they can later apply to the longer, purer forms), and getting to watch a whole match between school and bedtime which they'll remember for years to come.

The Hundred isn't needed. But county T20 is.
