Stephen Fry, a lifelong cricket supporter and MCC Foundation Patron, delivered the 2021 MCC Cowdrey Lecture at Lord's Cricket Ground.
The prestigious Lecture, which embodies the Spirit of Cricket, returned after a hiatus in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Fry was the 20th speaker and the second non-cricketing personality to deliver the oration, following Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s memorable, impassioned contribution in 2008.
Fry is best known for his work on screen as an award-winning and renowned actor, host and presenter. He is also a bestselling author, with works including four novels and three volumes of autobiography. Stephen is also an advocate for mental health and is President of Mind, the mental health charity.
MCC President Clare Connor and England cricketer Kate Cross formed part of a panel discussion with Fry, which was hosted by broadcaster Mark Nicholas and followed the Lecture.

An entertaining, thought provoking and lovely 90 minutes. The game is very fortunate to have the MCC as a custodian but also now as an agent of positive change.

Cricket has got some intelligent progressive lovers across globe. Its nice to see Stephen Fry speaking against racism on behalf of MCC, English Cricket & World Cricket / Sport in general.

@RealistVK 2 года назад

@Mck Idyl Yeah you need majority involved in any specific dimension of life to be progressive to bring change on mass scale and to make sports & life in general completely progressive. But Majority doesn't improves in a sudden it needs sum of some individuals to come up and to bring change.

As he says “the commitment is not the deed” and this will all amount to nowt if all of cricket fails to hold the ECB and the Counties to account every day from hereon in. Now, if we can just change society whilst we’re at it…..

@BukkapatnaSreevatsa 2 года назад

Brilliant talk from Stephen fry, as you expect from him. The follow up question and answer round seems to avoid the hot topic of Racism and plans of Rebuilding.

To be honest , he made some fair points . Change is hard and often, at the time, can be unpleasantly unpopular . At the same time , it can be slow as well. No one is debating; there is plenty of work to be done in the area of Inclusitivity. The Brow beating was not needed . For that is what it became halfway through. Which is a shame 😕. One can bring to light an issue without brow beating the audience over it. 🤔 That's my take anyway

@benphilips9918 2 года назад

I think 20:20 is killing the red ball game actually. England's performance down under was shameful.

@kauztuv 2 года назад

What scandal is Stephen talking about in the beginning?

@foddyfoddy 2 года назад

Racism in Yorkshire cricket.

@jamesburke2094 Год назад

you deride expertise Stephen

@jamesburke2094 Год назад

it was better for competition , not for them, back then Stephen please write that 100 times

@roystonrubble7103 2 года назад

Doesn't he endorse idiots gluing themselves to roads? Lost a lot of respect when he did that

@allenjerman8896 2 года назад

As a grandfather with a grandson suffering from dyspraxia i found your reference harmful & degrading

@markpender2953 2 года назад

So you have no ability to take a comment in context. Is there a name for that condition?

@foddyfoddy 2 года назад

I think that's a little extreme. Is every kid who can't catch a ball as well as others suffering from dyspraxia?

@philb9521 11 месяцев назад

I found your over reaction to this video harmful and degrading

@jamesburke2094 Год назад

Don't know how the audience could stomach that pile of BS

@nigelfleming9276 2 года назад

It was a great speech apart from championing the gold digging ex Yorkshire cricketer. He was dropped for a reason - he wasn't good enough. Must cricket employ no hopers because they're "diverse"?
