That's the point though. They directed that they should have the report months ago. Unless they sent it on foot, with a mandate of no more than 10 miles per day covered, I don't see how it takes 3 months to reach them and why the ECB didn't escalate. Let's see what happens. I'll hold the carpet up if someone has a broom...

Re your post referencing Rosa Parks on last page, I've just finished watching David Olusoga's series Black and British - a Forgotten History on iPlayer, having read the book a couple of years ago. I learnt none of what he covers when I was at school (albeit 45-50 years ago). I hope it is better now, but also that relevant British history is covered, not just the American civil rights movement.
*Sorry - a bit off topic for a cricket thread*

Yorkshire also failed to comply with the employment tribunal judge's deadline, so I'm not sure the ECB's magic carpet will help them there. Interesting that Nike, Vertu Motors and other sponsors haven't responded yet. You would think it wasn't particularly good business to have your name associated with YCCC.

Wasn’t that long ago - 90s? - that they finally realised that there was a whole country outside of Yorkshire borders, let alone an entire planet and allowed non Yorkshire born cricketers to play for them.
There’s probably still a substantial rump of them that still bitterly resent this. They are not of the modern world. It is one of the reasons I enjoyed the franchise system, sweeps all this away and starts afresh.

Wasn't Sachin their first ever overseas? Remarkable in every sense.

As a YCCC fan, I agree with nearly everything* you say - the club's response is genuinely disgusting and the ECB desperately need to do something, quickly.
*(except for backing the franchise system!)

This is what makes it so bad, Dooogs. You just *know* that the silent majority feel this way.

I have zero interest in this T20 and other than watching the end of the innings where Scotland qualified for the tournament proper I have seen nothing of it
