    100 ball cricket

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/43824037

    Great idea, but it's not really fair is it. For short attention millenials who believe in fair play then this should be 11 ball cricket.

    Each teams batter comes out and has one ball. Each opposite team member bowls one ball.

    This way everyone gets one hit and one bowl.

    What is fairer than that? Everyone's a winner. Job done. Back to the pavillion for a kale punch and a paper straw.

    Nah. The only way cricket will appeal to millennials is for it to look like this....

      Which is why we leave the job of ruining cricket to those more qualified than you.

        What you've described is basically rounders or baseball.

        It's a shame that the parents of Millenials are so self absorbed that they failed to bring up their children, and now staying self absorbed, like to poke fun at how bad their children have turned out.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          It's been brought in because lots of people think cricket is fecking boring.

            A five day piss up is certainly not boring.

                You are aware you can watch sports without getting pissed?

                I'm related to a person older than me who watches cricket in this fashion but also know others who enjoy watching cricket completely sober.

                  At that age, they're living on borrowed time anyway.
