Episode Synopsis "5. Views from the bar and the boardroom"
What is it like to be at a Hundred match? Kit spoke to Michael, a bar worker at Lord’s and the Oval, to discover what cricket’s newest competition is offering to spectators. Michael talks about the unusual type of crowd he has seen, the dedicated support for teams and the role of alcohol inside the ground. He also gives a fascinating view of The Hundred from a very casual cricket fan’s perspective, and his opinions will not thrill the traditionalists... (5:26) Meanwhile, Tom Harrison did not speak to us, but the ECB Chief Executive did discuss The Hundred and its wider impact on English cricket in a recent BBC interview. Kit and Matt unpick his comments on the domestic schedule, the tournament’s relationship with test cricket and the prospect of expansion. (26:02) MUSIC: Pod.co, 'One Fine Day'
