Yes, I read that article too. I do think it’s symptomatic of a larger problem across society as a whole over the last couple of years.

The Hundred will be a great experience for you and your son. The league is very focused on engaging young people with the sport. Not sure which ground you are going to but the Oval which is where I watch most of my cricket puts on loads of fun and interactive activities within the family enclosure. You can easily spend a couple of hours doing those and watch the game.

A 6 week franchise league, where the teams got to draft the best players in the world every year is basically the model of the IPL. It’s like fantasy cricket. The footballing equivalent would be like FIFA ultimate team and it would draw huge audiences globally. It would also be a way to potentially extend the life span of some of the biggest stars who might not be able to do a 40 week slog of a full season but could still compete over a month and a half. Football is about to lose Ronaldo and Messi and that will hurt!
