What the fuck, how can one cunt a cricket club?. This most English of institutions, the sound of leather on willow at the Oval etc, etc. I couldn’t give a fuck about cricket, but it also appears that neither can the local black population in Lambeth, and they can’t be bothered with playing cricket (they must have other activities on their minds – insert your own ideas here).

So what’s the problem? Top level sport is about skill, ability and a determination to hone those skills over hours and hours of training, including keeping yourself fit. The problem of course is that it is the predominantly white people of Surrey County Cricket Club for not doing enough to help the local black kids. Now under the guidance of Ebony Rainford-Bren (don’t ask!!) a bunch of lads will be chosen for a scholarship, education and free kit and travel. Sounds good; the problem I have with it is that it is only available for black kids. No Asians (fuck me, those Indians love the cricket) and no white kids will be chosen.
Now cricket is a game that is mainly populated by rich wankers from private schools, so I feel that it is totally wrong to overlook state educated, poor white or Asian kids from Lambeth and I bet there are plenty. So let’s be clear, and I stand to be corrected Ebony, but to choose somebody for something advantageous based solely on the colour of their skin is to me racist.
