With private investment imminent and expansion likely, where does The Hundred go next?

At the most uncertain time in English cricket’s long history, I’ve written a book on the domestic game’s precarious state, civil wars and worrying future.

We're looking for a game this Sunday. Would need to be *AWAY*. As ever we'll be Weak/Medium, young/old, hopeless/competent. If anyone in North London/Herts could host please get in touch.
Here’s a flavour of today. JC gazumping one at the pavilion and nearly hitting the camera. Watch for the wobble on impact.

Our chase was the Careless & JC show. Together they put on 195, at about 8 an over.
Both should’ve hauled tonnage but, like Johns Belushi and Lennon, they both fell in the eighties.

North Devon set us 229 to win in 30. They struck a hard ball. They struck it yonder, thither and Donny Hathaway. Repeatedly.
Coach clipped their wings, bowling tighter than Errol Flynn’s trousers.
JG glided in like Joel Garner. Bounce! Pace! Gadzooks!

Bang a gong. It’s GAME DAY. Again.
The mizzle has parted like a damp curtain. We glimpse a window for CRICKET.
30-a-side v North Devon CC, who look burly and buff today. Stack 2 of Skip widthways and you’ll get 1 of them.
We’re fielding first. Because of reasons.

The Miracle of Hatherleigh - Part I
Rain was everywhere. It was in our boots. In our beds. Inside our cars.
And yet, through force of will and imagination, they got us a game. A T20 hammer, dancing between the drizzle-drops.
#UCSGtour
From there they pushed and pummelled but were always slightly behind. Somehow Skip ended up with 2 wickets - one a neat stumping by Careless.
Inevitably, the rain anointed the winners. It was us, after half the Hatherleigh turn.
