It was disappointing to see the BBC had relegated the Test Match highlights to midnight on Saturday. Instead we were treated to ‘The Hundred’.

As far as I could ascertain the main consideration was to pick a fielder to hit the ball to then scramble up the pitch to beat the thrower to avoid being run out.

It was a dismal idea of entertainment.
