  1. #Icec chair slams #ECB for lack of ‘moral backbone’ over #Botham comments

    The #IndependentCommissionForEquityInCricket report published last June found #racism was entrenched in #Cricket and that women routinely experience #sexism and #misogyny within the sport. It found cricket was still an #elitist #sport with little to no focus given to addressing #ClassBarriers.

  6. Just read the recommendations for improving diversity in English . Overall they make a lot of sense. I'm not enthused by them all, and in particular I don't see the point of getting rid of the Eton/Harrow match if all the other recommendations are acted upon - if they are, and if they work, then that match will be a quaint irrelevance. Recommendations 36-40, which are largely about getting rid of socio-economic barriers to entry to county age group selection, are especially good.

  7. First time I've ever got into the #cricket and have been absolutely loving (although not so much today) #TheAshes. I've found #Bazball to really help as an entry point and was heartened to see the #ICEC report, which no doubt signals a coming era of positive change. However. I have just considered buying a couple of tickets for me and a friend and across all remaining Tests, you can't pick up a ticket for less than £300. Class-based discrimination indeed.

  8. Oof. The #ICEC report on #racism, #sexism and #classism is absolutely damning. Predictably, the response from the #Telegraph is that it's "politically correct bores" who are ruining the game for 'everyone', ignoring the experiences of all those who contributed to the report. I have literally just discovered #cricket and am absolutely loving #TheAshes. For me there's a sense I've come to the sport at a moment of tremendous positive change. I hope it continues to strive to be more inclusive.
