Girls! It's absolutely outrageous!

"Did you know that Brighton College are playing girls in their First XI? Girls! I think it's absolutely outrageous." Robin Marlar is not backward in coming forward with his opinions, as The Sunday Telegraph discovers. What, the paper asks him, if a girl bowls at 80mph? "Then, I'd be asking some serious questions about whether she's had a sex change."
Gosh. Somewhat amazingly, in the light of these comments, Marlar voted in favour of women becoming members of the MCC – although he wrote off the MCC as an anachronism years ago. And he is now its president. Read about his appointment – and about more of his explosive opinions - here.
Oh, and as for girls playing for Brighton College’s 1st XI, well, it’s not the first time. England’s captain Clare Connor has had that honour in her time; read Jenny Thompson’s interview with her here, as she faces up to missing her first international series for ten years.

Although Sourav Ganguly may have upset Greg Chappell and Andrew Flintoff, Angus Fraser writes on his several redeeming features. The Surfer was a bit intrigued with the ending where Fraser pulls out his crystal ball:
It is hard to believe Ganguly is not preparing something special for England's tour to India in March next year. Whether Chappell is still the India coach is, however, questionable.
More support for Ganguly - with a political bent. Read how the CPI(M) party is happy over Ganguly's "victory" in his spat with Chappell.
