Root & Silverwood talking slightly more sense than Agnew. Both want the County Championship played all summer long, and concurrently with the Hundred. Obviously there's a problem right now with the number of players leaving their counties for those six weeks, so in future I think there needs to be some kind of ECB incentive for promising young red-ball cricketers to stick with the Championship all summer; maybe cash prizes for breaking 1000 runs or 50 wickets?
My fear is that the Hundred is too precious to those in the charge to be undermined in any way, even if it might benefit the Test side in the long run.
