| The West of Scotland Cricket Club was founded in 1862 and is a true multicultural institution: Scots, Pakistanis, English, Indians, Sikhs and people from all over mix happily here. A Glasgow MSP - Sandra White of the SNP - once declared that there was too much cricket on Scottish television and this wasn't right, as it was a sport most Scots aren't interested in - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/scotland/article6689828.ece Ms White is perhaps not the sharpest tool in the SNP box, but even so she shouldn't have needed reminding that cricket is the third most popular sport in Scotland. Like many east end Glasgow boys, I was puzzled by cricket - but Oor Wullie played it in the Sunday Post, so it must be Scottish somehow. Of course, the sport most working-class Scots really don't take to is rugby, which outside the Borders is seen (unfairly of course) as a toff's game. But talking about that would mean talking about class in Scotland rather than race, and no one wants to do that any more. See http://www.westofscotlandcricketclub.co.uk/ |

Cricket betting is often a difficult skill to master and this is particularly true when studying the 2010 Ashes betting odds. Despite a fruitful year for the England cricket team in which they have enjoyed successful test series against Bangladesh and Pakistan, as well as triumph in the final of the World 20/20 championship against their forthcoming opponents, Australia are still the clear favourites to regain the Ashes on home soil.
