Wronger Than A Wrong Thing

I'm disgusted, embarrassed and outraged.

The game that I love, that we love, should never have come to this.

Surrey County Cricket Club have announced that, for Monday's game of hit and giggle cricket, they will be employing the services of walk on girls.

That's right, they are going to employ barely dressed ladies to walk to the crease with an incoming batsman. Quite simply, such gimmickry has no place in the modern game. I know that T20 cricket is all about being different and entertaining the crowd, but this is ridiculous.

To put it bluntly, I'm offended. I'm offended for me, I'm offended for you and I'm offended for everyone involved in cricket everywhere.

In this day and age there is simply no basis for suggesting that, without female assistance, a mere man cannot find his way across a piece of cut grass and find a piece of even-more-cut grass in the middle of it. It is a disgustingly sexist presumption and Surrey CCC should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
