In reply to Ged Ladd. It seems to me, Sam, that you live your life, like a stick of rhubarb in Geoffrey Boycott’s Mom’s hands. Never knowing the Duckworth Lewis par score when the rain sets in…

In reply to Ged Ladd. Eton v Harrow even. People didn’t have this autocorrect problem in 1805.

100 years? A trifling duration.

Surely the only sporting contests that REALLY matter are the ones that have been going on regularly for 200 years or more.

The Elton v Harrow cricket match at Lord’s, to provide one example.

The “real” tennis World Championship is pushing towards 300 years.

What about if all the teams played each other, maybe as many as five times, home and away, over a number of years?

40 years to find the winner? Well, don’t forget there will have to be a playoff between the top 4 teams, and none of them will be happy to have the winner decided over 1 match, so add on another 20 years to get the finalists and then the final will be played over another series of matches. This could take 100 years.
We could call it The Hundred?
