The Hundred 2021 - All You Need To Know

 

The Hundred is a professional franchise 100 ball cricket  tournament involving eight men's and women's teams located in major cities across England and Wales. The tournament will be run by the England and Whales cricket board (ECB) and will take place for the first time in summer 2021, having been delayed by a year due to the covid-19 pandemic. The format was invented to attract younger and more diverse crowds to watch cricket, with the expectation that the shorter format will mean each match lasts around two-and-a-half hours.

INTRESTING RULES OF THE HUNDRED

1.     Each side will bat for up to 100 balls (that's not as many as it sounds, honest.

2.      The first 25 balls in each innings will be a Powerplay, where only two fielders are allowed to be stationed outside the inner ring.

3.     In The Hundred, no-balls are worth two runs, followed by a free-hit.

4.      A fielding captain can station a maximum of up to five fielders on the leg-side.

5.      If a fielding team doesn’t finish its quota within the allotted time, they will have to bring an extra fielder inside the ring till the time they end the innings.

6.      Unlike in a T20 game, the non-striker does not take strike even if he has crossed during a dismissal.

7.      An amended Duckwoth-Lewis-Stern method, which will look at the number of balls and not overs during rain-hit games.

8.      In case of a tie in the group stage, both teams will earn one point each.

9.     If it’s a tie in the knockout stage,  a ‘Super Five’ tie-breaker will be used. If the second Super Five is also tied, the team that finished higher on the ladder during the group stage will progress.

Big Statement from Kuldeep Yadav for KKR team management

  Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has hit out at the Kolkata Knight Riders team management and captain Eoin Morgan for lack of communication during the first part of the Indian Premier League season.   Yadav didn’t feature in even one of the seven matches played by KKR and that might have cost him a chance of proving his credentials again.   The left-arm wrist spinner hasn’t held back while talking about his team.   “If the coaches have worked with you before and are with you for a prolonged period of time, they understand you better. But it becomes very difficult when the communication is weak. Sometimes you don’t even know that whether you will be playing or not, or what the team expects from you,” Yadav told Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel. He became the first bowler for India to take two hat-tricks in international cricket. His first hat-trick came against West Indies in 2019 while his second hat-trick came against Australia in 2020. Sadly, he hasn’t been used pro
