ok, so this ones about Cricket so i doubt many of yall will care (or understand).

anyway, Australia vs West Indies (i think 1996, but i may be wrong).

Great match, the windies batted first, and put in a big score. Warnie and McDermott smashed away at them, but it wasn´t enough.

well, when the aussies came to bat, there was a bit of a top order collapse.
yada yada yada...walsh, ambrose... blah, blah, blah.

it came down to the last over, and we looked like we were going to lose.

by the last ball we needed four runs to win. michael bevan - possibly our greatest one day cricketer - was at the crease.

the whole 90,000 or so in the crowd were absolutely electric.

bevan was looking square, everyone, even the windies were expecting him to go for the square boundary... but no, he played a perfect drive, and played the ball into the fence (4 runs for those who don´t know) directly in front of him.

massive crowd, incredible game. everyone was just partying like nothing else.

but apart from the great cricket, another aspect of that event that makes it special for me were the pissed guys in the crowd.

this was in the day of full strength beer being sold like hot-cakes, of mexican waves where everything from golf balls to glasses or urine were thrown in the air, and constant police presence

anyway, one particular incident i remember was when this guy sitting one row in front of us jumps up, and announces to the whole area, that he can drink beer out of anything.

so, someone produced a battered old leather hat. and he poured beer into it, then drank out of it.

then someone produced a thong (thats a simple aussie shoe, not a g-string), and he poured beer down it and into his mouth.

then, the crowning moment was when the guy sitting two seats to my left, stripped off all of his clothes, and gave the guy his underpants.

at this point, at least 1000 people were shouting and yelling and encouraging this guy.
so, then, he dunked this other dudes undies into his beer, then squeezed all of the beer into his mouth.

this is quite possibly the funniest, and grossest thing i´ve ever seen.

anyway, at that point the police arrived and arrested him and the nude guy.

god i miss drunks at the cricket.

what a great day.
