Stephen Fry speaking at the Hay Festival recently on bias in cricket attacked the MCC of which he was President in 2022 as ‘stinking of privilege and classism’ and referred to the ‘beetroot-coloured gentlemen of the MCC’.
He was right of course. By a narrow margin the Eton v Harrow schoolboys game continues to be played at Lords while increasingly popular women’s cricket doesnt get much of a look in.
Fry is not a model of consistency and when he was found out by the Times retracted and said he should learn to keep his big mouth shut
