by In private, you suspect that the hundred administrators loved the skirmish. Tuesday evening, Liam Livingstone challenged to be called a “Slob fat” by his friend Tom Curran to lead Birmingham Phoenix to victory over the invincible oval.
The match had a needed needle. “I don’t know why Tom [Curran] started to spray me, “said Livingstone after the match.” He is one of my good friends and he called me a big Slob or something, so I thought: “Hopefully you are not going for a few if you come back to death” and he did it, I am a little satisfied with that. “”

Livingstone had its revenge. His 69 praying to the match did not include the leg spinner in Afghanistan Rashid Khan for three six and two and an assault against Curran, breaking 21 points from the nine balls he faced with him.
“He called me a” big slob “or something like that, so I thought:” Hopefully you are not going for a few to come back to death “, and he did it – then [I am] A little satisfied with that.
The altercation is a response from the frequent criticism of the hundred, that the players don’t care. In its fifth season, the competition develops rivalries. The invincible oval, bidding for a third consecutive male title, become the side that everyone wants to beat, which could explain the joy of Livingstone.

For the hundred, the needle was the subject of an altercation of Shane Warne with Marlon Samuels in the Big Bash competition in Australia in 2013, when the two clashed in a faithful way on the ground.
Cricket Australia said they “could not tolerate” the incident, but also said that it would serve to “inspire greater rivalry and create greater interest in Big Bash League”.
These words recognized that, as was obvious during the series of Indian tests in England this summer, the Cricket often benefits from increased tension on the ground.
There is much others that would improve the hundred, while he is preparing for the 2026 season, his first entirely under private property.

Indian players
The desire for all the franchise leagues in the world, beyond the Indian Premier League itself. With four of the eight teams belonging to groups linked to IPL, in theory, the hundred should have a chance to push the cricket control council in India to soften their ban on Indian players. In reality, it seems that it happens that it happens; In South Africa, the six franchises in the SA20 belong to groups linked to IPL, but the position of the BCCI on Indian talents remains unchanged. Perhaps the most likely result may be for the BCCI to allow a small number of players under 23 years old to appear.
A way to the Champions League
A simple way to improve the hundred would be to connect it the broader ecosystem of the game. Perhaps the best way to do so is to bring the Champions League back, as it is in traffic. The winners of The Hundred would then be granted the entry into the Champions League a few months later, allowing them to test themselves on the world scene.

Best locations
Up to 10 male games so far this season, there has been only one score of 165 or more. Better locations would encourage more score. With creators under more pressure from the schedule than ever before, they will need more support. At least, the bullets used this year are less conducive to sewing bowling than the 2024 vintage.
