Has English cricket lost it's dignity to a Yank?

Question

These are not my words.I read this in an article by a respected English cricket journalist according to which the deal by the England & Wales cricket board with the Texan Billionaire is not good for English cricket and he is accusing Mr.Clark for letting Stanford mess with English cricket structure and dictating terms.

What do you have to say about it?

Answer 1

What do I have to say about it? Hahaha !

Answer 2

MCC hasn't lost it's dignity.They are still the most respected governing body in cricket.

But as for ECB ,they have lost it all.

Answer 3

yes obviously

Answer 4

What's the difference between this money hungry yank & India trying to take over cricket? BCCI has been dictating terms to ICC for some time by threatening to withdraw from matches etc.As all Americans do, he will try to change it into an American friendly game, making the rules to suit himself.

Answer 5

I think its a shame that its happening to cricket. It was bound tom happen eventually but i still disagree. Soon players will play for money not for the game which will wreck the game

Answer 6

A Yank running a Cricket tournament...Ha Ha Ha,what a joke..These fella's will do anything for money..

What is surprising is England are the ones who said yes to him..I would expect it coming from a few other Countries but England?...Hmmm

I would be interested to hear what the Poms have to say about it-Kookee where are you?....

Answer 7

and yet the english still want to take his money, typical whinging poms (no offence Kook and Kinney)

i think the guy would be good for cricket IF he tried investing his money in all 3 forms of the game, not just Mickey Mouse Cricket
