seems a shocking waste of quite a lot of the available cricket season
although... if the T20 blast was played at a rate of one match a day, the telly wouldn't just be able to show matches involving mostly London touching counties. Durham, Derby, Leics and Glam would get more than the minimum 2 matches a season
BBL had 56 group matches for 8 sides over 54 days, then 2 Semi-Finals and a Final over 4.
I'm guessing all televised?
SSL had 32 matches for 6 sides over 50 days, then an Qualimifier and a Final over 3.
Not sure at all about TV...
Blast had 126 group matches for 18 sides over 45 days, then 4 Quarter-Finals and a Finals Day.
Current TV deal has 36 games.
Sports broadcasting media nut miscast as a hard-working family man. Or should that be the other way around?
