The Meadows, Edinburgh's prestigious Home of Cricket. Who does this? What are they thinking? What on earth can their own homes be like?
Those few misguided long term readers will know of Fantasy Bob's feelings for this place - feelings shared by the majority of the City's cricketers.
The Meadows has been the site of some of FB's greatest performances with bat or ball. They have also more frequently seen his greatest embarrassments. Many times his inept displays there could justifiably be described as rubbish. Is this desecration therefore some covert commentary on FB's cricketing abilities? Surely not.
It must therefore be a coordinated protest against the incomprehensible prolonged absence of cricket from this and other spaces. It is a latter day dirty protest which says to the authorities, 'See what happens when you stop cricket. It's all that keeps us civilised.;' It poses the question 'How can it be safer to congregate in a pub rather than play cricket?'
FB sympathises with the objectives of this protest. Absolutely. He just wishes that the protestors would take their rubbish home.
