    Desmond Tutu’s Cowdrey Lecture (MP3)

    By Will 4 months ago, Comments

    Desmond Tutu gave this year’s MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture at Lord’s on Tuesday, in which he called for the boycott of Zimbabwe. Andrew Strauss also hinted at a possible boycotting of Zimbabwe’s tour here next year unless the government take prior action.

    You can download the entire lecture (1h 12m) here. Tutu’s 26min speech is here, while Strauss and Barry Richards’ discussion can also be listened to.

    I think Tutu was at my christening, or my brother’s. Or was it my parents’ wedding? Well whatever. He’s a family friend of a friend, and apparently a bit of a leg end to boot.

    Do you agree with Tutu regarding the boycott, or should sport be kept well away from politics?
