In Australia if any person jump on ground then he has to pay fine of 5000 Aus dollars, so authorises won't mind if anyone goes to ground. Since that means more revenue to CA. In India now authorities don't allow things inside stands that can be used to stop the play.
Monetary fines won't work in India (and I am sure that is the case in other South Asian countries as well). There is a class of uber-rich, who has got unlimited amounts of money thanks to corruption and nepotism. For them a fine of $5,000 will be like pocket change. What scares them is the prospect of spending a few days in prison. And Indian prisons are very infamous for extreme violence and brutality. But then again, the judiciary here is very corrupt and these guys will be let off with a fine of $10 (and a warning) rather than a prison term.
Wow! I feel like you wrote down the exact things that might happen and it is actually very true. A proper punishment will be a bigger fine. But, then again I believe they will find a way to get away with this and I also believe that it is the case for almost all the South Asian countries. But if it is made sure that they do spend one week in prison I think no one will dare to do such things.
@Sithara007 youre absolutely correct, and unless theres an official rule which says that therell be instant jail time for those people who run on to the pitch these incidents wont stop.
England has announced the 14-member squad for the ODI series against Netherlands later this month. Three uncapped players are included in the squad - Brydon Carse, David Payne and Luke Wood. Since the test series against New Zealand will be going on at the same time, members of the test squad are not included for the series against Netherlands. And these matches will form a part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Right now England is in a very comfortable position, with 95 points from 15 matches. A clean sweep could take them to the top of the table.
I believe that England very well know that theyll win this series easily, and thats why theyre keen to use this series to test their reserve players which isnt a bad idea as those players will get invaluable experience of playing on the big stage.
