Dust-up breaks out in the crowd during England’s Test cricket match against New Zealand

Everyone knows that going to watch the cricket is all about the beers, the costumes, the beers, the fun, and then the cricket. One thing it’s definitely not about is a bloody punch-on. Yeah, nah, some sports are all about bringing back the biff. Cricket, though? Yeah, nah…cricket’s supposed to be a place you can relax. That’s why people are branding scenes at the recent Poms V Kiwis match in Leeds a f**ken disgrace.

All right, for a bit of context, it all kicked off at the third and final test match between England and New Zealand. Before events got a bit spicy in the stands, it was a great day for the Poms. Spinner Jack Leach took ten f**ken wickets and that was just the start.

Once Ollie Pope and Jack Root hit the pitch, they f**ken clobbered the ball around, taking 81 not out and 55 not out respectively. By the end of the day, they were at 2-183 and only needed 113 more runs to take the series against the current world champs.

But that’s not why we’re here. Nah, of course not. We’re here about the biff. Deadset, a few of the blokes turned the stands into a battleground when they started brawling. You can watch the events down below, but it’s easy to see why they’ve been branded ‘plonkers’. Others said the fight just ‘wasn’t cricket’.

We’re not sure how it started, but giving it a squiz, it seems like a fair bit of handbags. You’ve got the bloke in the Gascoigne shirt, you’ve got another fella, and you’ve got a whole bunch of people who look like they’re enjoying the chaos.

So, really, it begs the question of whether or not it was actually that bad. We’d be interested to know your thoughts.

Final thought: Obviously, we’ll agree with the sentiment that anyone starting a biff in a public place is a bit of a plonker, but it’s not like the cricket isn’t known for a bit of shenanigans in the stands.
