One can only imagine how many young Muslim women will be inspired by the sight of Abtaha Maqsoob running in to bowl in her hijab. A big win for cricket. #TheHundred
It required a brilliant spell from @imqaisahmadd to edge out Superchargers by 5 runs. Hero of the match for Welsh Fire with 4/13 off 20 which includes the wickets of in-form Harry Brooke, Chris Lynn, David Willey & Simpson. Currently the 2nd highest wicket taker of @thehundred.
Afghanistan spin factory continues to produce monsters. Qais Ahmed bowls Welsh Fire to victory in a high scoring game vs Superchargers. Welsh: 173 in 100 balls Chargers: 168 in 100 balls Runs/ball: Qais Ahmed: 13 runs in 20 balls with 4 wickets Runs/ball: #TheHundred
22 runs from a 5-ball set from Liam Plunkett. A much needed turbo boost for the #northernsuperchargers They need 91 runs from 45 balls #TheHundred
Bairstow (56) and Duckett (41) power Welsh Fire to 173 in their 100 balls. Neesham too chipped in with a 11-ball 30. #TheHundred
Welsh Fire become the first team to cross 150 in #TheHundred Can the Superchargers take down 173?
#TheHundred Jemimah Rodrigues hit an astounding 17 boundaries and a six as Superchargers chased down a target of 131 in 85 balls #WATCH
Does Johnny Bairstow normally play for Yorkshire you wouldn’t know they’ve only said it about 50 times #TheHundred
#TheHundred #JemimahRodrigues Rodrigues had a lean patch through the home series against South Africa and the recently concluded limited-overs matches in England.
#TheHundred has the speed in it to grip the audience and keep them. The players doing a quite brilliant job with this product. See you tomorrow and thanks for watching.
This is what cricket is about, Chris Benjamin making a name for himself in front of millions. Unbelievable #TheHundred
I’m sorry but #TheHundred is really enjoyable and fun and would challenge anyone to give it a try. Don’t be stubborn.

Maybe the @thehundred could’ve had a team from the associates in the comp in an Ireland/ Scotland combined squad. Call them either the Bravehearts or the Celtic Warriors 😊 Maybe in the future #HundredCricket
hold the pose Carlos, thats one for the photographers, flat six with straight bat.
Who do you think will take this trophy home? #TheHundred2021 #TheHundred
I mean I knew there was a game within a game 🤯 #TheHundred
I enjoyed #TheHundred a lot. I’m sure it’ll be a success. The only negative was the pitch. Weird to play on a used pitch: the ball didn’t come onto the bat and the quality of the spectacle was reduced.
Brother to brother - a wicket in the final ten balls. Is that enough for the Invincibles or can Manchester Originals still do it? Join us live! 📺 BBC Two 📱 #bbccricket #TheHundred
Let’s be honest, we, especially test cricket purists, are not the target audience for #TheHundred. It was shit. It’ll always be. It’s to lure new people in and make money off them. We don’t need to waste our time watching or argumenting with its paid slaves like @MichaelVaughan
Please please read the thread. We need to give @thehundred a chance ! Men and women both competing in an identical competition , with equal opportunities including playing grounds, time, resources and fee ! What more do we want to celebrate ! Oh yes and extremely competitive!
Having now watched some of the coverage, the choice of onscreen graphics are bizarre. An incredibly unwieldy manner to present simple infomation. #TheHundred
Chuffed to see a lot of love for #TheHundred. Cricket might be rather resistant to change but cricket also does change better than most other sports #BringInTheNew
So my six year old ran in while I was watching @thehundred and said “Girls playing cricket? Cool!” I suppose that’s what it’s about as is this pic of her bowling over arm with @allstarscricket this
Can someone please explain to me how taking 1 ball of each over, 20 off the game and adding some cheap graphics enhances cricket? Tried to give it a chance but simply can’t. It’s awful. #TheHundred2021 #TheHundred
We did it! Great to have this crew + Tuffers and Vaughan and what a game to open in @thehundred #womenscricket #cricket
Great being at the opening game for @thehundred. Congratulations to #OvalInvincibles on today’s win!
Great to have some cricket media royalty down to the @Chance2Shine office for the @thehundred opener. Hope plenty of young girls went away inspired from a thrilling encounter 🙌 Very apt in a year where the charity hit a 50/50 participant gender split for the first time
First impressions 1. Graphics are confusing 2. Graphics are confusing 3. Graphics are confusing #TheHundred
👋 Here at The Kia Oval with us tonight? Watching from home? Send us that first-game feeling selfie! 🤳
BBC presenter on #TheHundred informs me that there’s now a “local rivalry” between Cardiff and Southampton. Which is an ambitious bit of marketing, even by ECB standards.
