I almost tripped down the stairs at AO last night leaving a corporate box pissed as a fart.
Can someone fix that imaginary step before some other drunk dude steps on it as well and hurts themselves.

Please........plenty of people have been hit before by a ball in the crowd and no one has been seriously injured.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Only a matter of time b4 a spectator gets killed in the crowd from being hit in the head.
Apart from putting up massive netting around the boundaries to protect the spectators from these potential lethal missiles, i dont have the answer.
Nothing will happen until the day someone does get killed or seriously injured and then watch out for the shit to hit the fan with court cases etc.
Surely paying spectators have the right to view entertainment in a safe environment or is it just a risk that they should be prepared to take?
Im curious as to the take on an incident such as this from a legal prospective.


Excellent post
I have thought for sometime now its just a matter of time B4 there is a serious injury in the crowd
It could happen in either Test cricket ODI cricket and 20/20 cricket

If we say there are about 10 zacs hit in 20/20 games per match
Over 32 games that equates to about 300 odd hits over the boundary or into the crowd

True but guys are hitting the ball harder than ever these days, also at a guess I would say a lot more younger kids are going to games now, bigger crowds more consistently

Rashid Khan's Wrong'un to dismiss Ben Rohrer is one of the best deliveries I've seen in some time. Absolute cracker.

Check the Ts and Cs on your ticket.

A long shot I know, but does anyone know where I can get a ticket for NYE?

I had a transferable lined up for the Mrs but now my mate is going himself. I have a members ticket but I've planned the night on the basis of the Mrs having a ticket which has obviously fallen through. Happy to pay to get her one any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Very good bowling performance by the Strikers thus far.

As good a bowling attack going around... 4 legit wicket takers who all differ in what they offer and nesser who is handy. Our weakness is our batting. In both games thusfar we have been 20 runs short despite having wickets in the shed.
Jonno wells little cameo was handy in context of this game.

Ricky Ponting putting Mark Waugh on the spot after Junior talked up one of his favourites Sean Abbott, hilarious.
