I seem to remember reading about something similar in an English county game last summer, where water was on the banned list.
But hey, the customer can fuck off seems to be the motto of far too many organisations putting on public entertainment these days (and of course it seems to be the default BCCI attitude to most people and things!) The problem is. the players know that cricket works better as a spectator sport, where there's some semblance of atmosphere in the ground--Covid showed that. So how geed up are they going to get when the spectators do as they're told and do fuck off? Because I suspect that even if polite, demure British retirees take it on the chin with a weary shrug, I wouldn't be quite so sure about Indian Gen X consumers--they might want something a little bit more value-for-money, or at least not to be treated like criminals for having the temerity to want to watch a cricket match!
I would love to know the reasoning by authorities behind all the restrictions mentioned in this most interesting report …especially water and sun cream.
Yup me too, it makes no sense at all! If it is to allow vendors inside the stadium- who pay fees- to sell water & suncream it would make (some) sense. That is the approach at our rugby stadiums unfortunately where water & snacks are confiscated at the gate.
