Statement from The Glasgow Grubbers Chairman
The team would like to offer their hearty congratulations to the opposition today whose doctored pitch would make the Somerset groundsman blush. We here at Glasgow have always tried to play by the rules and offer good quality sporting pitches for all and are disappointed, but not surprised, that opposition teams are not playing to the same standards of fair play. What we are concerned about though is the flagrant disregard for player safety that is on show from the tournament organisers by allowing such pitches. Someone could get hurt playing on decks like these but it seems not to matter to those in charge, nor does it appear to matter to them that their blatant bias in who they favour is obvious to all. At a time of national crisis where we need to depend on those in charge and it is sickening to see such clearly unfair practices. While we will not be pursuing legal action at this time let it be known that this tournament is on notice. We are logging and recording everything and will make our dossier available to the ICC, the CSI, NCIS, Alastair Cook and the police when the time is right.
In the meantime we will continue to prepare as best we can for our next fixture in good faith as it is clear that at least one team in the tournament should be setting a good example in these times.
Finally, it has been discovered that Cheteshwar Pujara had a black cat cross his path this morning and did not inform the management. Such a blatant disregard for team procedures and indeed the health and safety of his teammates mean we can no longer in good conscience have him as our captain. A new captain will be named before our next fixture. Also, Stuart Broad is henceforth dropped from the team for the foreseeable future due to not reporting that he received a Whatsapp message from disgraced former captain Will Porterfield three weeks ago.
It brings me no joy to release this statement but I will continue to push for fairness, justice and, most importantly, Glasgow in these testing times.
