Episode Synopsis "2. Good cricket, better propaganda"

Oh yeah! The Hundred is underway and we have plenty of questions. Cricket is still good, but is it good enough to merit decimating the county game? Broadcasters are trying their best to sell the competition, but has does their blind passion rival Soviet-style propaganda? The women's game is gaining exposure, so why are its highlight packages so much shorter? Do double-headers work? Will our brains ever get used to multiples of five? Join Kit and Matt as they sift through the biggest talking points from week one of The Hundred, as English cricket begins its venture into the great unknown. TOPICS: - New format and TV coverage (2:08) - The make-up of the crowds (9:23) - Women's success on the pitch, struggles off the pitch (16:42) - Men's focus: Comparable standard to the Blast, impact on the county game (24:52) - Timeouts and salty snack sponsors (36:39) MUSIC: Pod.co, 'One Fine Day'
