MCC v India

I switched onto TMS at 7-30 am to hear an interview with an author critical of the MCC’s governance of cricket.

The theme was typical of the contemporary cricket writer: the MCC  was a cosy, private, right wing members’ club and largely incompetent.

Later I listened to the preview of the World Cup semi-final between India and New Zealand.

The Indian cricket board has moved the Mumbai pitch – quite improperly – to suit India.

Whatever criticism one can make of the MCC it was never corrupt and played by the rules.

I rest my case.
