People who go to the cricket

TassieD

One thing I love about going to an Aussie sporting event is the characters that go out of there way to have a bit of fun and to entertain the crowd. These guys/gals all turned up looking the same paying tribute to one of Australias best number 3 batsman David Boon. here are a couple of shots that I hope convey the fun they were having.

This guy was by far the most vocal (am tipping he has a sore head this morning.


Here is an overall shot of the group.

David,

They look like they are real fanatics. They really should look into some less obvious fake mustaches though

Nice captures and I hope no one sloshed any beer on you or your camera

I didn't notice any barbwire fences, so cricket must be a milder spectator sport than soccer.....

In the Uk they have fancy dress competitions at the test matches is it the same over there ?:D

G'day Steve,

Fanatics yes, sloshing of beer no. They were putting them down pretty nicely and there wasnt a great deal of waste. yes, it is a pretty socially friendly game in this part of the world so no need for the fences and barbed wire.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Hi there Garry,

Not sure if it was a competiton, but with the cricket matches down here there is always a couple of groups that pick a theme and get dressed up for the outing. Makes for some interesting viewing during the slow periods.

Thanks for the comments.

Ahhhh the cricket

whats not to love?

I'm thinking seeing as they are all covered in VB logos maybe they were getting free beer?

I love watching cricket spectators just as much as the game.

Hi there Gary,

I did enjoy the Ashes, I would have liked to have seen a much different result but will give us something to work towards at the next meeting

Very true Gus,

They are a very scarce breed these days.

Awais cricket is the only sport i will lay on the floor watching for several days. I love it ...not sure why. I live next to the 'Gabba' (you may have heard of it) & no way will they let me in with a 400mm lens.

I was watching the news the other night & they were talking about a cricket uprising in the USA with the indian & pakistan migrants children playing at schools.

Please ...anything but basketball :cry
