Hobart: England received a spanking from rivals Australia at the recent ODI match in Hobart, courtesy skipper Steve Smith’s unbeaten 102 that eventually took the Aussie side to victory. But a certain fan in the crowds received a spanking of a different kind.
The fan in question, a hefty man made a spectacle of himself falling over the advertising board flat on his face trying to retrieve the ball during the ODI clash. It was indeed a sight to watch at the Blundstone Arena when the entire crowd burst out in laughter.
Well, if England were sorry for their loss, this untoward episode might help them to brighten up.
This is not the first time though, that such an awkward incident took place. In 2011, while county cricket side Glamorgan were up against Somerset, another fan tasted the lush green lawns of the cricket field by falling off the advertising board and then gravity took over.
