“Apart from reducing the number of balls to get the terrestrial television deal, the rationale behind the Hundred could be that it improves the chances of cricket fulfilling the Olympic dream. It is often cited as a way to spread the game’s popularity to a wider audience. Certainly the T20 format can achieve the same result without another drawback,” Chappell wrote in his column for ESPNcricinfo.
“Cricket is a team game ideally played by 11 members. Performance satisfaction is one of the big reasons why youngsters fall in love with the game. Administrators would do well to remember that before they started trying the shorter forms of the game. Hurry to prepare. The shorter the length of an innings, the more likely the players will be “just making up numbers.” Even those players want the occasional performance satisfaction.”
Chappell took a dig at England, saying they had once again taken a complex solution rather than a simple one.
“Throughout my career I believed that there were two possible solutions to a problem: one simple and one complex. I also believed that England would regularly choose complex solutions to the advantage of Australia. done again.
“To address the perceived problem of the public not being fully acquainted with cricket, they have coined another form of the game – The Hundred. That’s right, he has only reduced a format of 20 balls which was hugely popular with the players and the public.”
