Traditional cricket fans hate it. The sport's media is divided on it. Players are dropping out in their droves. Yet, The Hundred, English cricket's seemingly cursed competition, is pressing on with its inaugural season regardless. After staking the future of the game on it, they have little choice. Over what will be a month with huge consequences (good or bad), a Hundred-sceptic and a Hundred-hater analyse English cricket's new, much-maligned competition. Join us each week as we work out whether The Hundred will lead to the demise of the sport or if it can, somehow, pleasantly surprise us.
