Shaun Pollack becomes the latest member of the MCC’s World Cricket Committee

Shaun Pollock has become the newest member of the MCC's world cricket committee.

Here is a complete list of the World Cricket Committee Members:

Tony Lewis (Chairperson)

Mike Atherton

Mike Brearley

Geoffrey Boycott

Martin Crowe

Tony Dodemaide

Rahul Dravid

Andy Flower

Mike Gatting

Majid Khan

Anil Kumble

Shaun Pollock

Barry Richards

David Shepherd

Alec Stewart

Michael Tissera (uh! Who is he?)

Courtney Walsh

Steve Waugh.

As usual, the English make up the numbers followed by Indians. Surprisingly, the Australians have only a token representation.

In case you are wondering, what the committee was all about here is the clincher:

The aims of the committee are to debate all matters in the interests of cricket and cricketers, to consider at all times the balance of the contest between bat and ball and to assist MCC's custodianship of the Laws of the Game, to protect the spirit of cricket, to be sure that governing body decisions never put cash or country interests before the good of the game.

A good reason as any to meet and spend some time at Lord’s.
