The Hundred: London Spirit v Oval Invincibles 2.30pm Sunday Lords

As we hit the second weekend of the Hundred, it has to be said that the standard especially of the batting, remains ropey. It is hoped that the return of some players to the competition at the end of the England Test series and the MLC in North America might lead to improved team performances.

At the time of writing in the ten games played first innings scores have ranged from 89 to 145 with the exception of one innings of 185. Three of the lower totals, including one of 113, have been defended too.

With a proliferation of low scores, we’ve seen a trend within the innings where many top orders have struggled against the swinging new white ball. The result of this is that in 10 of the 20 innings to date the individual top scorer has batted in a position from 6 to 9 including Donovan Ferreira a 10-1 winner for us in this column last weekend for the Oval Invincibles.

Despite the presence in the team of players like Dan Lawrence and now Ollie Pope plus the experienced West Indian franchise players Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell London Spirit had a disappointing start to the competition losing their opening tow games scoring just 138 and 127 before winning their first game at home to the Welsh Fire on Thursday, chasing just 96 to win.

Reigning champions the Oval Invincibles won their first two games chasing 89 and defending 113. These are atypical game types for white ball cricket but a measure of how much the ball has been swinging so far. They then lost to the Northern Superchargers at home on Friday failing to chase 145.

Their major strength is a bowling attack that has swing ability to spare in Spencer Johnson, Sam Curran and Saqib Mahmood backed up by one of the best white ball spinners in leggie Adam Zampa

Outright odds for the game are Invincible 8/11Spirit 11/10 and faced with opposing that Invincibles bowling attack and the trends towards top order struggles in the tournament I wanted to highlight the opportunity in another middle order player, this time Liam Dawson of the London Spirit.

Batting 8 Dawson top scored in the first two games scoring 45* and 36 before being out early in the very low scoring third game. He’s a value play at a big price (28/1) to top score here for low stakes

Meanwhile Donovan Ferriera batting 6 for the Invincibles has top scored twice already this season and is still available at 9/1. He remains a value play

6 points Liam Dawson top London Spirit Batsman at 28/1 Bet365

6 points Donovan Ferreira top Oval Invincibles batsman at 9/1 Bet365

Tactical trends

With a few weeks to go until the start of the new Premier League season, a look back at the tactical trends that characterised last season.

More goals were scored in the last Premier League season than any other. A total of 1,246 goals averaged out at 3.28 goals per game, comfortably clear of 2022-23’s 2.85. The majority of Premier League teams now try to play proactive, front-footed football with associated risks.

Changes to the game have also encouraged more goals, notably last season’s directive to add substantial periods of stoppage time. Interestingly, ball-in-play time is one area where Manchester City have a small edge on their rivals, most likely as a result of their measured, possession-based style. City’s average ball-in-play time was 4 minutes and 36 seconds longer than Arsenal’s and 5 minutes and 26 seconds longer than Liverpool’s. Across 38 games, that is a lot of ‘extra’ time to put to good use.

More stoppage time has led to more late goals, as defences start to tire and lose concentration. Last season saw 112 goals scored after the 90th minute, with 2021-22 the previous high at 85. There have been 27 winning goals scored in this period, a new Premier League record. This season saw more comeback victories than any campaign in Premier League history with 63, another reflection of more goals and more stoppage time.

With so much training ground focus on high pressing and build-up play from the back, teams are potentially less comfortable when they either choose or are forced to defend their penalty box. Fewer teams in the league are built to soak up pressure.

Managers are also learning to leverage their five substitutes. Four teams benefitted from more than 20 goal involvements from substitutes: Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Arsenal.

As well as Arsenal, who conceded just 29 goals and kept 18 clean sheets, Everton were also very difficult to break down, finishing the season with the fourth-best defence in the league.

Tottenham’s trajectory under Postecoglou promises to be one of the most intriguing themes of next season, but Tottenham have struggled defending set pieces.

Arsenal’s title challenge was propelled by their efficiency in this department, scoring 22 goals from non-penalty set-pieces and conceding just seven, a set-piece goal difference of +15. City scored 17 non-penalty set-piece goals and conceded a mere three. By contrast, Spurs finished with a non-penalty set-piece goal difference of -5. That’s a 20-goal handicap conceded to their north London rivals.

Specialist set-piece coaches are already commonplace in the Premier League, and are bound to grow more popular after Arsenal’s success under Nicolas Jover. Villa’s set-piece coach Austin MacPhee is also a familiar face on Premier League touchlines, though Villa finished the season with a negative non-penalty set-piece goal difference.  Postecoglou has so far resisted appointing a set-piece specialist, a decision which will be questioned should Spurs continue to ship goals next season.

Approximately 76 to 78% of penalties are scored but last season finished with a penalty conversion rate of 90%per cent. This season produced the fourth-most penalties with 112.No player did more to boost this statistic than Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, scoring nine penalties from nine. Palmer’s goals won Chelsea 15 points, a total matched only by Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke. Bukayo Saka scored six penalties from six, Erling Haaland scored seven penalties from eight while Mohamed Salah scored five out of seven. Perhaps last season’s penalty record was pure variance and we should expect a reversion to the mean.

The Hundred: Welsh Fire v Oval Invincibles 2.30pm Sunday in Cardiff

This is the first weekend of the 2024 competition, the fourth season of the much maligned/format of the future (depending on your viewpoint) established by the ECB.

A reminder that the Hundred is made up of 8 regional teams, three of which progress from the group stage to the knockouts at the end of the month. A core of players from each team have remained with each side since inception, and each contains at least one centrally contracted England player. Each march through an NFL/IPL style draft process squads are built out from those newly available at different salary price points, with each team operating within a salary cap to promote parity.

As the global franchise competition calendar is ever more crowded this year the Hundred clashes with T20 competitions in the USA and Canada, and because the Hundred can’t match the financial rewards on offer from those leagues, this year’s Hundred is definitely short of star-power.

At this early stage of the Hundred England players are still involved in the West Indies test series too and therefore unavailable.

The defending champions are the Oval Invincibles, notionally based are Surrey/Kent players. They opened the 2024 competition on Tuesday at home to Birmingham, and on a spicy swinging bouncy pitch chased 90 to win for the loss of only two wickets.

The game showcased a real strength of the side, the bowling attack has all bases covered and now with a pace threesome of Spencer Johnson (a really good tall left arm quick), Saqib Mahmood back from injury and Sam Curran they are going to be a handful. On flatter pitches, they can call on one of the best white ball spinners in leggie Adam Zampa.

In the batting line-up there's no Heinrich Klaasen this season. Instead fellow South African Donovan Ferreira will play the role of the middle-order hitter. One weakness is a longer tail than ideal if the top order fails to fire.

The hosts here the Welsh Fire opened their campaign on Thursday at Manchester and won clinically restricting the Originals to the third lowest Hundred score ever batting first.

Of their first choice three overseas, Haris Rauf is currently absent at the MLC, and Matt Henry missed the first game leaving Glenn Phillips in the side.

Fire were much improved last season after two poor opening seasons. A play-off spot came after a squad revamp and a “moneyball” approach to squad construction based off data analysis. If Jonny Bairstow rediscovers his mojo the front five with the bat is very good (a young English middle order of Abell, Clarke and Kohler-Cadmore is talented). Mason Crane and Roelof van der Merwe complement each other in the spin department and the whole side is packed with nuggety domestic performers. Of those David Willey is still an all-rounder who can wins games with bat or ball.

Outright odds for the game are the Invincibles 4/6 Fire 6/5, so home underdogs. Not that there should be much home advantage at any Hundred ground.

It’s worth remembering that this is even more high variance a format than T20. With a hundred balls to go at, a bad start on a fresh pitch or in poor weather can make it very difficult to recover. We’ve seen that in the first three games of the 2024 tournament already where every side batting first has struggled mightily and it has to be said the standard has been very poor.

It’s tempting to suggest, given that the new white ball swings prodigiously and threatens the scoring potential of the top orders on the evidence of the three games so far, a value bet in the top batsman market for either side. So far top scores from teams batting first this year have been 25 batting 1, 45 batting 8 and 26 batting 9!

Candidates might be Luke Wells at 10-1 and David Willey at 14-1 for the Fire batting 6 and 7 and Donovan Ferreira and Tom Lammonby both at 10-1 batting 6 and 7. Take your pick, I am going to try Willey and Ferreira for small stakes alongside backing the Welsh Fire at odds against.

15 points Welsh Fire to beat the Oval Invincibles at 6/5

6 points David Willey Top Welsh Fire batsman at 14/1

6 points Donovan Ferreira Top Oval Invincibles batsman at 10/1

The Hundred

When the ECB first proposed a new T20 competition to the 18 first class counties in 2016, the main objective was simple: Making money. The IPL currently earns about ten times as much from TV rights than India Internationals and the same thing was the aim in England. This would finance English cricket and the cash-strapped counties (who were compelled to vote for the project) for generations to come.

The ECB missed out on the chance to trademark and license the T20 format when they introduced it at the professional level in 2003 so a new format had to be created.

In the years that followed expenses more than tripled from the original projections, which in turn reduced the potential profits considerably. Even with all of these add-ons, the ECB declared that The Hundred made an annual profit in each of its three years so far. These figures have been widely questioned though. They don’t factor in the tens of millions of pounds spent in the years before 2020 which led to The Hundred taking its current form.

Now the ECB will sell stakes in the eight Hundred teams later this year and says the competition “will play a vital role in the future of our sport”. An agreement between the ECB and the 18 first-class counties has been reached over the distribution of funds from the sales, set to be worth hundreds of millions. The eight hosts of the teams will be given a 51% stake, which they can sell or keep, with the remaining 49% in each team sold by the ECB.

Money raised from selling the 49% stakes in each team will be distributed between the 18 first-class counties, the MCC and the recreational game. The eight hosts that receive a 51% stake can either keep all of it, part of it, or sell it all. They will indicate their decision to the ECB, with the sale of those stakes also being handled centrally.

The eight are Lord’s (MCC/London Spirit), The Oval (Surrey/Oval Invincibles), Southampton (Hampshire/Southern Brave), Cardiff (Glamorgan/Welsh Fire), Trent Bridge (Nottinghamshire/Trent Rockets), Edgbaston (Warwickshire/Birmingham Phoenix), Old Trafford (Lancashire/Manchester Originals) and Headingley (Yorkshire/Northern Superchargers).

One thing which must be acknowledged is that even considering the sale of teams or the competition as a whole means that Plan A has failed. The Hundred was supposed to be very profitable from Year 1, with the ability to grow from there to near-IPL revenue.

In terms of potential investors, an Indian billionaire might look at the possibility of extending the IPL (and its international window) to four months and consider that a £20m investment in London Spirit is worth it if it makes it more likely they can make more profit with their main team.

In the months to come we will see what a stake in each Hundred franchise is worth and who the new partners are and speculate what they will bring to the party. Noises are that potential investors are unhappy at being asked to take a minority stake with no control over the cricket operations, and generally questioning of valuations as a result. We’ll see shortly.

T20 blast Somerset v Sussex Thursday 18^th July 6.30pm

This is the final week of T20 Blast group games, and by Friday night we’ll know the Quarter final line up, with those matches played after the Hundred in early September. Blast scheduling is unusual this year due to the clash with the T20 World Cup with the Group stage matches crammed into six weeks then a seven week wait until the knock-out stages.

Thursday night sees the penultimate matches including this one in the South Group in Taunton.

Hosts Somerset, the defending Blast champions, are third in the South Group with 15 points and need a win from their final two games to guarantee a Quarter Final spot. Visitors Sussex are second on 16 points and already guaranteed a knock-out place. For both teams a top two Group stage finish guarantees a home Quarter-Final.

In the final matches on Friday night Somerset travel to Cardiff to play Glamorgan, Sussex host Middlesex.

Somerset’s team features canny experienced bowlers and a number of exciting young batsmen. Taunton is one of the smaller grounds on the domestic circuit and is typically high scoring, which suits this big hitting batting line up

In the 12 Somerset blast games so far Tom Banton has 404 runs at an average of 50 and a strike rate of 145 including three fifties. 404 runs is sixth in the competition season to date. He is comfortably Somerset’s top scorer ahead of Kohler-Cadmore 282, Abell 250 and Smeed 246

At 25 Banton is an opening batsman and flamboyant strokemaker that has been selected in England T20 squads and is experienced in T20 franchise leagues worldwide including spells playing for KKR, Brisbane Heat, MI Cape Town and the Northern Superchargers in the Hundred. He has 3,300 career runs in the format at a strike rate of 142.

Here he will have to deal with Sussex’s main threat, veteran left arm quick Tymal Mills who with 21 wickets is the joint third top wicket-taker in the competition so far this season .

He’s a solid bet to be Somerset top scorer here.

10 points Tom Banton Somerset Top scorer at 100/30 with Betfair Sportsbook/Paddy Power, 27/10 BetVictor, 13/5 William Hill

Scrums

In an attempt to create a better spectacle and attract new fans World Rugby have introduced law changes focussed on the scrum.

The scrum is underappreciated as the casual fan views it as slowing down the game but at its core scrums lay down a statement of intent in a battle of strength, power and skill, a means to attack and assert dominance.

The latest move from World Rugby to ban the option of a scrum from a free-kick shows that the game’s governing body takes another step towards making the set-piece irrelevant in the modern era.

The idea of the removal of the scrum option is to stop resets and ‘set-piece dead time’ whilst it is also primed to address the ‘lack of space’ on the pitch. However more scrums equals more fatigued players equals more defensive gaps.

The scrum was there initially to restart the game much like a lineout but what makes both set-pieces unique and even more special in rugby is that they are both contestable. In rugby league, the former cannot even be considered a contest, whilst the latter doesn’t even exist in the code. Even in football, throw-ins are seldom contested.

It is obvious that teams will attempt to concede a free kick if they are struggling in the scrums  There are no less than nine actions at a scrum that can result in a free-kick for the opposition team, providing nine different avenues for a pack that is being overwhelmed to escape the scrum.

Then there are the laws being trialled and bound to be pushed through to the top of the game if they are deemed successful by whatever metric World Rugby want it to be.

This includes the introduction of the 30-second shot clock for scrum and lineout setting and the protection of the nine at the base of the scrum, ruck and at the maul.

This will inevitably lead to selectors and coaches favouring more athletic front-rowers, with slightly fatter flankers eventually being tasked with getting the basics of scrummaging done as the big front-row forwards get pushed closer to extinction.

Rugby is and wants to continue to be the game for all shapes and sizes but what will happen to players who comfortably tip the scales over 120kgs if the scrum draws close to its execution date?

All Change.

F1’s Governing body the FIA has revealed plans for cars to be smaller, nimbler and more environmentally friendly with the introduction of new regulations from 2026.

Cars will be 30kg lighter, 10cm narrower and have engines with a near 50-50 split between electric and internal combustion power and use fully sustainable fuels. Whilst the cars are still heavy from a historical perspective it’s seen as a step in the right direction towards improving the racing whilst in terms of sustainability, particularly on the power-unit side, it’s a bold step.

The FIA described the concept at the heart of the 2026 rules as a "nimble car". Active aerodynamics will be used to optimise the use of the new engines. Cars will have front and rear wings that open on the straights to reduce drag and increase speed, but then close to increase downforce for cornering performance.

Overtaking will be facilitated by a power-boost system for a car following another, seen in other series such as IndyCar and Formula E where there is an element of strategy as to when the boost allowance is used. This is instead of the current DRS (drag-reduction system) overtaking aid.

The new hybrid engines, which triple the amount of electrical power used, have attracted two new manufacturers into F1 in the shape of Audi and Ford, and persuaded Honda to reverse its decision to quit the sport. Along with Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault, and the new Red Bull Powertrains company with which Ford is joining forces, there will be a total of six engine manufacturers in F1 in 2026.

The rules are a part of F1's pledge to go net-zero carbon by 2030.

Some drivers have expressed the concern that there will be such a major change in rules would make the field less competitive again just as it was beginning to close up this season. McLaren and to a lesser extent Ferrari and Mercedes are now challenging Red Bull to an extent not seen for over two years.

New Zealand v England 1^st Rugby Test, Dunedin Saturday 7.05am

The start of the Summer series for England, two Tests in New Zealand beginning on Saturday in Dunedin and then Auckland thereafter

England warmed up for the series in Japan, scoring 8 tries in hot conditions against inexperienced opponents winning 52-17. In the game England conceded 16 penalties and played 29 minutes with 14 players, either of which would be a recipe for disaster against the All Blacks. Presumably its out of their system!

The All Blacks have to yet to play under new head coach, Scott ‘Razor’ Robertson from the all-conquering Crusaders Super Rugby franchise with seven consecutive Super Rugby titles and, this being year one of a four year World Cup cycle, New Zealand are in transition.

Their squad is shorn of departures to Japan and France, the New Zealand domestic game can’t match the financial rewards offered there so these days the All Black are without two of the greatest locks in the history of the game in Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick as well as previous first choice half backs Richie Mo’unga and. Aaron smith. Top World Cup try scorer Will Jordan is also out with long term injury.

The last time the All Blacks hosted a home series against a northern hemisphere team, they succumbed 2-1 to Ireland two years ago despite winning the first Test. England aren’t the quality of that Irish side but the All Blacks haven’t had much time to prepare this time and haven’t played together since the World Cup last autumn.

That said New Zealand still have a strong side. A backline of TJ Perenera, McKenzie, Telea, Ioane, Jordie Barrett and Reece with Beauden Barrett on the bench is potent, behind a solid pack. It is a rather conservative and safety-first team and seems like the sort of side Steve Borthwick's team could get close to though. New Zealand will probably still win, but England should be competitive.

England now without Farrell, Lawes and Care finished third in the recent Six Nations, starting slowly but producing two very encouraging performances in beating Ireland at home in the penultimate game then scoring 31 points and losing by only two points in Paris in the final game.

During the Championship they introduced a new rush defence, not without its teething problems and in the latter half of the Championship the new attacking coach had clearly had an impact.

New Zealand are 1/6 outright, England 9/2 underdogs. The handicap is the interesting market, England are +12, which I find appealing

12 Points England +12 at Evens Bet365, 10/11 widely available.

Derby Days

Each year after the latest renewal of the Epsom Derby comes a post-mortem about how the Classic is not quite how it used to be in terms of a spectacle. This year was no different.

A few weeks ago a crowd of “around 27,000” people attended Epsom on Saturday according to the Jockey Club, an increase on last year’s attendance of 25,413. However, it was down on the 2022 spectator levels of 37,274 (when the Derby was part of Queen Elizabeth II’s official Platinum Jubilee celebrations) and below the pre-Covid attendances of 38,044 in 2019 and 35,258 in 2018. A total of 1.3m watched City Of Troy win on ITV Racing, an audience share of 13.8%. The viewing figure was down from 1.5m last year, when the race was simulcast on two channels, and from the 1.6m who watched in 2022. 

It was the first ‘normal’ Derby in five years where there has not been a big change in numbers up or down as a result of other factors. Over and above that there are some structural issues. The Derby can struggle for the limelight from the casual fan on a crowded sporting weekend, for example. Although the Classic has not been run on a Wednesday since 1994, there are some calls to revert to a midweek slot.

For those attending the new course manager, arrived from a non-racing background was overseeing his first Derby and Oaks this year and reported positive reaction to innovations such as local children singing the national anthem on both days, a new enclosure on the inside of the course and a revamped food offering.

Some elements of the partial revamp missed the mark. A live draw for the Derby was held in the town centre but was criticised for its delivery, including the use of ping-pong balls with numbers drawn on in black marker, and lack of engagement.

Part of the long-term problem lies in Epsom’s almost negligible footprint on the racing calendar outside the two big days of its Classic festival weekend. There have been suggestions of creating a week-long festival around the Derby rather than just having two days of racing. This doesn’t necessarily mean more racedays, although that is obviously a possibility to boost commercial growth, but just more activities going on such as family events and connecting with the nine training yards around the racecourse.

There is a need for further attempts to drive to establish a wider appreciation of the race, to do we tell the story of the race more effectively, remembering that so much media these days is consumed by people who don’t have the sound on. Other sports have made vast improvements in their graphics, their on-screen information, and British racing has a long way to go to catch up with that.

The next few years are about getting the basics right, making sure the people who come will want to come back again all leading to 2029, the 250th running of the Derby.
