Why does Pro40 seem to be such a major part of the English calendar ?

Question

Is it 40% more entertaining ?

Answer 1

It isn't actually such a major part of the English calendar, hence why it is being disbanded from 2010 in order to make way for yet another Twenty20 tournament, the EPL. People don't see it as important anymore.  :)

Actually JK, in the earlier days this Sunday competition was a huge crowd pleaser and attracted the same amount of people who go to watch the T20 matches.

Answer 2

Thankfully it is going away! I never understood the concept. The idea I think was too make it more exciting than ODIs... but it never attracted the mass audience of T20, so I think it should have gone sooner. Thankfully it is leaving the county scene in 2010.
