CRICKET IN SCOTLAND
That this House welcomes the comments of Roddy Smith, Chief Executive of Cricket Scotland, that there is a huge interest in cricket among Scottish people, including in the current Ashes series; congratulates Cricket Scotland and the many community cricket clubs in Scotland for their endeavours in increasing the popularity of the sport in Scotland; looks forward with anticipation to the one day international between Scotland and Australia; deplores the comments of Scottish Nationalists in the Scottish Parliament that cricket is of no interest in Scotland; and rejects their demand that it should be censored from terrestrial sports bulletins as mean-spirited and anti-sport.
