Matt Roller

When it comes to The Hundred, Matt Roller is perhaps the best informed journalist going.  Rich and Tom enjoyed a chat about all things The Hundred with him, focussing on the recent draft.  Why were some players left undrafted? What styles of play will we see in 2022? How much cricket will we see from the overseas stars?  As the ECB's current "CMJ Young Cricket Journalist Of The Year" and an Assistant Editor as ESPN CricInfo, Matt regularly breaks the news on The Hundred before anyone else.

The Hundred: Our 2022 Mock Draft

Shefali Verma

Rich and Tom react to some interesting decisions. There is no sign of Shefali Verma at Birmingham Phoenix, Tammy Beaumont is missing from London Spirit and the Trent Rockets have had a clear-out!  Who has the most work to do before all of the contracts are signed and announced on 30 March 2022?

Confirmed retentions for women's 2022 squads; Perry to play, but no Shefali Verma?

It turns out that a lot of the rumours were right: Glenn Maxwell will go to London Spirit but Quinton de Kock is not retained. Rashid Khan is back but there is no sign of some big West Indian names.  Every team has left themselves work to do at the draft on 30 March 2022, including at least one top-tier pay bracket slot... will those spots be filled by the biggest names in cricket?

Have Mumbai Indians blown the budget on the wrong players?  Let us know what you think: fansofthehundred@gmail.com

T20 World Cup at half way point; England looking awesome and can India survive?

A review of the first weekend of ICC T20 World Cup 2021 action from Rich, Oli and Tom.  Superb bowling from Shaheen Shah Afridi set Pakistan up for a memorable run chase against a below-par India. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan won it in style by 10 wickets.  Sri Lanka tracked down a challenging chase of 172, with Asalanka starring for a previously underestimated batting order.  The West Indies' superstar batters fail spectacularly against England's spin attack of Moeen Ali and Rashid Khan, leaving the tournament favourites a simple chase for a big win.  Australia make hard work of their response to a poor total from South Africa but get there in the end. Did South Africa get it wrong tactically in the final overs?   This is The Hundred Club: a community for fans of short format cricket.

Pakistan beat India and England stun Windies; A weekend of World Cup cricket 

The T20 Cricket World Cup 2021 Super 12 groups are set!  The qualifying groups have played some scintillating cricket this week; Rich and Tom review what they have seen. Sri Lanka's bowling has impressed, Scotland have sprung a big surprise, Bangladesh have warmed up and Namibia have created history.  Meanwhile, the Netherlands and Ireland have disappointed a touch but perhaps all of these teams should have been given a chance against the Super 12 teams too?   The result is a beautifully set Super 12 stage, with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka joining an already fearsome Group 1 of Australia, England, South Africa and West Indies. Scotland and Namibia however might fancy some upsets in Group 2, with Afghanistan, India, New Zealand and Pakistan.

Why couldn't the KKR middle order contribute and how disappointed should DC be with their week?

CSK win IPL 2021, WBBL returns and the T20 World Cup 21 starts

There is just one week of the regular IPL 2021 season left before the eliminators and finals.  With CSK and DC already qualified, and RCB looking good for third, who can grab that all important fourth place in the table?  Tom and Rich get right into the IPL action this week. It seems to be the domestic Indian players who are making the most of the tournament, but which potential T20 World Cup stars are hitting form at the right time?  There is also a chance to look forward to English domestic cricket in 2022: can the ECB improve the scheduling of matches?!
