Unbelievably crass statement. But, as the evidence presented throughout #DifferentClass reveals, the ‘Type K’s’ described in the #ICEC Report have always believed the game is theirs and theirs alone. 👎🏻

Not holding my breath. But if this is as good as it gets, I regard it as vindication of the long years it took to produce #DifferentClass and the stories relating to #class, #race and #society it conveys. Thanks to all who have supported me over the last 18 months (or longer)!🥰

#TheHundred being worth £1bn is a joke. If the private equity mobsters get a foothold it'll decimate English #cricket. It is the #Uber business model writ large: own nothing / exploit everyone (and existing infrastructure) / take everything. The #ECB need their head's examined.
