Instead of raising prices to an absurd level and banning proper beer, can't they just ban bogans? No?

A bloke in our bay foolishly burst the first beach ball of the afternoon when it landed in his lap. Bad move. With that decision he effectively painted a target onto the back of his head for all subsequent inflatable props moving through the stands for the rest of the day.
Because he kept getting pinged it must have looked to some of the security detail that he was causing trouble. He was led out.

'mr cricket' has been dropped thrice by the same bloke, did i hear that correctly??
― pyramid of geezer (haitch), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 05:47 (fourteen years ago) link
That's correct! One of 'em was a sitter too. Thank heavens that we've still got the Test on our screens in the office so we can watch the majesty that is Mr. Cricket at the crease...

the mind reels
on the nanny state-ism tip, i'm sure none of it made the coverage on saturday night but much of the crowd was entertained by a blow-up doll being bounced around the length of the southern stand and then back again - amazing effort to avoid security for that long

if pakistan lose they should be kicked out of world cricket forever for being pissweak

I don't think you would truly want to kick out the Karachi Globetrotters and their wonderful beards.
― striker, currently playing for Italian Serie A club Milan (King Boy Pato), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 00:24 (fourteen years ago) link
they do bring entertainment to the masses with their hilarious collapses!
but this would be too much. too painful. they can stick around in twenty20 and KFC BIG BASH. their most talented player is, I notice, pulling up trees for the Redbacks with his dynamic all-round beard

If you had a choice between sweating it out in Dubai for the Globetrotters or playing for the glory of Sudaustralien on the lovely Adelaide Oval, then it would be obvious. But they all can't be Shahid Afridi and besides, teams like New Zealand and Sri Lanka have to play against *someone*
