In fact, I'm not sure you have my IRL postal address - shouldn't we be arranging all of that in the background? When might I expect it to arrive, KC?

In fact, I’m not sure you have my IRL postal address – shouldn’t we be arranging all of that in the background?

It occurs in the phrase "The best interests of the game." To you and me, "the game" means some combination of the local cricket played on the weekend, the international team, and the county game. However, to the chairman of Leicestershire County Cricket Club, "the game" means, er, Leicestershire County Cricket Club. So "acting in the best interests of the game" means exactly the same thing as "acting in the best interests of Leicestershire County Cricket Club". So, Clarky is in fact acting in the best interests of the game, so long as you allow the people who vote for him to define the word "game". Trebles all round. I think I see the confusion here.

That would create a situation whereby those in charge of the game wouldn't necessarily act in its best interests. No-one would stand for that. Oh you couldn’t have that.

No-one would stand for that.
