[edit] Cricketing power

Also, in moving its location from Lord's to Dubai the ICC is making a clear statement of independence from the past.

Would it be terribly cynical of me to suggest it might actually be more a clear statement of where the financial power lies in world cricket these days...? Loganberry (Talk) 19:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Replace "financial" with "political" and you'd be right. See 2005 Afro-Asian Cup, jguk 19:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I'd have to disagree with both of you. It certainly was the case that in the past the MCC was the real power base for world cricket. But following the formation of the ICC it really has now got no power on the international stage. And as for power on the national stage, that is limited to having the ECB on its premsises, but I think that it is fair to say that the MCC does not interfere in their business. The only power the club holds now on the world level is that of the copyright to the Laws of Cricket, and any changes to them need to be passed by a 2/3 majority of the membership.--Wisden17 19:34, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stub status

Hmm, just a suggestion, this page doesn't really feel like a stub anymore... Shouldn't we remove it's stub tag? Smithers 17:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Be bold! Cheers --Pak21 17:39, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I've removed it. Stephen Turner (Talk) 17:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gavaskar

The article says that he is a honorary member. Is it true ? He did once reject the membership in the early 1990s. Tintin (talk) 06:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

He did accept it later. Tintin (talk) 10:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tours and Matches

There really should be some info about games that the MCC has played - either tours, or other info. I know MCC games frequently come up in cricketing records, so some mention of notable games or tours might be in order? For instance as of Feb 2006 the MCC are going on tour to Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. I know Wikipedia isn't a news service, but some mention of games that have been played (or people that have played) over the past few hundred years might be in order! Gavinio

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mcc.jpg

Image:Mcc.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
