Recently, there have been reports that a third party offered a sum of £400 million for complete rights to The Hundred - ECB Chair Richmond Thompson responded to these by saying that the Hundred is worth much more than this.

The Cricketing Career of Eoin Morgan
In this episode, we examine the career of recently internationally-retired white ball captain Eoin Morgan. We look at all aspects of his career, from his debut for Ireland, before switching to England and having a stellar career. Averaging 30 in Tests and T20Is and 40 in ODIs, the stats don't tell the full story as Eoin Morgan's impact on England's performances and English cricket are so much more. We also have a look at his retirement and whether it could be done earlier, perhaps freeing a spot in the England white-ball batting order.

How Did Gujarat Win the IPL ?(with stats) + The England Batsmen Averaging 140 but (somehow) can't get into the England Team
Gujarat stormed to their maiden IPL title with a 7 wicket win over 2nd place Rajasthan, but how did they do it? We look at the key components of Gujarat's winning formula through analysis and stats. We also look at our Team of the Tournament, featuring Jos Butler, Dinesh Karthik and many more.
and...
Harry Brook has averaged 140 in the County Championship this season and has been a highly consistent performer in red and white ball domestic cricket for a couple of seasons now, but somehow he can't break into the England team for more than a match. What makes him so good and what is stopping him from becoming an England Regular?

PBKS vs RCB and LSG vs GT Review + ‘Brendon McCullum is a gamble…English Cricket isn’t really in a position to gamble’
In this episode, we look at the 2 most important matches of IPL Week 7. These two matches have been extremely significant and are worth looking at, with some good performances including England duo Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow’s fifties.
No matter how good McCullum was as a player, he does lack experience as a head coach, especially in Test Cricket. With England doing so horribly in Test Cricket in 2021, you would think that we need an experienced coach to guide us to victory. We look at this and more about McCullum in this episode.
