ICC and booze
Whether you love the Barmy Army or loathe them, you cannot deny that booze is a crucial part of watching cricket, whether its 20/20, one day or two innings; international, county or club. Let's face it, if you wanted to get the best view you'd watch from the sofa, rather than sit side-on and see nothing but the odd cut or hook as it raced dangerously towards your head.So why have the ICC decided to impose a no-booze rule to all internationals (as well as many domestic matches)?
Cricket is not football. Occasions when fans need to be monitored in more than a light-touch way are thankfully rare.
They say that this change is driven by health and safety reasons and yet my experience suggests they are quite happy to grounds fill people with as much ultra-expensive beer as they can pour.
It seems to me its just another way to make genuine fans pay extortionate prices for bad beer.
