[@robertwright88]

Not only is the content of the speech timely, relevant and appropriate, his use of grammar, insightful wit and perfect delivery make it even better!

[@leslieannseegobin7742]

I could listen to Mr.Fry speak over and over, scintillating sixes!.

[@jonathanporter6479]

The world of cricket needed Stephen Fry tonight, thank you MCC.

[@rabiyahuda]

Cricket is the most beautiful game in the world. And Steve a beautiful man , Cricket needed this today.

[@andymacfaul2852]

A superb speech, flawlessly delivered with scarcely a glance at his notes. 👏🏻

[@thesmithersy]

It was probably on the autocue

[@JustinW2980]

An entertaining, thought provoking and lovely 90 minutes. The game is very fortunate to have the MCC as a custodian but also now as an agent of positive change.

[@Clivejvaughan]

Great to see this made available to all who love the game !

[@sri.vathsa]

A brilliant and timely lecture by Stephen Fry. 👏🏾

[@henrysmith883]

Incredible, hardly looked at his notes.

[@tomallen6005]

Brilliant. Entertaining, moving and apposite.

[@johnbrett6895]

Brilliant and timely. Thank you Stephen.

Cricket has got some intelligent progressive lovers across globe. Its nice to see Stephen Fry speaking against racism on behalf of MCC, English Cricket & World Cricket / Sport in general.

[@RealistVK]

@Mck Idyl Yeah you need majority involved in any specific dimension of life to be progressive to bring change on mass scale and to make sports & life in general completely progressive. But Majority doesn't improves in a sudden it needs sum of some individuals to come up and to bring change.

[@stealth1512]

Most excellent. Appropriate at this time and delivered with thoughtfulness and erudition

[@banerjeesiddharth05]

Thank you Stephen.

Excillent work MCC 👌👌 Love From 🇵🇰🇵🇰❤❤

[@asanthafonseka3236]

Masterful delivery ❤

[@BukkapatnaSreevatsa]

Brilliant talk from Stephen fry, as you expect from him. The follow up question and answer round seems to avoid the hot topic of Racism and plans of Rebuilding.

[@user-ik8tv9bk2d]

As he says “the commitment is not the deed” and this will all amount to nowt if all of cricket fails to hold the ECB and the Counties to account every day from hereon in. Now, if we can just change society whilst we’re at it…..

[@DanTyson]

Arise Sir Steven.

[@paulrichards6099]

This is epic!

[@KeithBinding1]

Eloquence exemplified.

[@silmarienprince3137]

To be honest , he made some fair points . Change is hard and often, at the time, can be unpleasantly unpopular . At the same time , it can be slow as well. No one is debating; there is plenty of work to be done in the area of Inclusitivity. The Brow beating was not needed . For that is what it became halfway through. Which is a shame 😕. One can bring to light an issue without brow beating the audience over it. 🤔 That's my take anyway

[@benphilips9918]

I think 20:20 is killing the red ball game actually. England's performance down under was shameful.

[@jamesburke2094]

it was better for competition , not for them, back then Stephen please write that 100 times

[@kauztuv]

What scandal is Stephen talking about in the beginning?

[@foddyfoddy]

Racism in Yorkshire cricket.

[@jamesburke2094]

you deride expertise Stephen

[@allenjerman8896]

As a grandfather with a grandson suffering from dyspraxia i found your reference harmful & degrading

[@markpender2953]

So you have no ability to take a comment in context. Is there a name for that condition?

[@foddyfoddy]

I think that's a little extreme. Is every kid who can't catch a ball as well as others suffering from dyspraxia?

[@chilpill305]

I found your over reaction to this video harmful and degrading

[@roystonrubble7103]

Doesn't he endorse idiots gluing themselves to roads? Lost a lot of respect when he did that

[@jamesburke2094]

Don't know how the audience could stomach that pile of BS

[@tamalbiswas7679]

Mediocre and Pretentious.

[@KinshukKale]

What a beautiful way to describe your own life

[@nigelfleming9276]

It was a great speech apart from championing the gold digging ex Yorkshire cricketer. He was dropped for a reason - he wasn't good enough. Must cricket employ no hopers because they're "diverse"?

[@bwana4711]

You missed the entire premise.
