The MCC to sell T-Shirts

Dire needs calls for dire strategies.

The Marylebone Cricket Club, which owns Lord’s, has decided to capitalise on its instantly recognisable name and the vast international popularity of cricket. It is understood the Ashes urn, the property of the MCC, could also become a logo used on a range of merchandise.

Is the MCC selling its soul?

I know Mike Brearley's wife is Indian.. Does Derek Underwood have an Indian connection too?

I hope he does, that way, we can blame all of this on the Indians :)

Cheers

Hasn't MCC already sold its soul? Wasn't the spirit of cricket prefixed as a document to IPL? In times to come one may find it amending itself over and over again. That said, there are those who feel MCC sold out the day they let the toffees and ladies in.

Homer,

I speculate Lalit Modi is the Marketing Director of MCC.:)

Soulberry,

Were dogs let in earlier than toffees and women?
