What is the experience like when watching a cricket match in the stadium? Still have a question? Ask your own!
What is your question? 3 ANSWERS Scott Lowe Scott Lowe, Sports fanatic Updated Jan 7 Well, I will describe my experiences based on two seperate games at the same stadium:
1) India versus Australia, One Day International, Sydney http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/e... This was a great game, the atmosphere inside the stadium was superb. I was sitting with my father about ten rows back from the fence, behind some very vociferous Indian fans. One thing I love about Indian fans is how their love for cricket seems somehow more pure than others. It is not a partisan love, although they certainly were cheering loudly for Laxman and Yuvraj in that match (both scored centuries).
I had some good conversations with Indian fans sitting nearby, and then of course had it ruined by some drunken Australian idiots sitting behind me, who spent about thirty minutes in the Australian innings talking about what party they were going to after this, and spilling their beer down the back of my chair. You have the usual Australian crowd elements: people making beer snakes, the mexican wave allowing them to throw rubbish, beach balls thrown onto the field and booing of the security guards who pop them.
The match was a thriller, and when Brett Lee hit a six off the second last ball, it almost felt like the stadium was moving. Australians cheering, the Indians somehow hoping they could pull off a miracle. The noise did not let up for at least twenty minutes after the game.
2) New South Wales versus South Australia, first class game, Sydney: This was in the mid 90s, so I was probably about ten or so. The stadium was empty. I mean you could have counted the people watching with no effort. The cricket was great, some fantastic play (Darren Lehmann made a century I think) but my brothers and I spent most of the time running up and down the empty aisles, sitting right near the boundary and when it got too hot, moving back up and not having any trouble finding a seat.
It was amazing how empty and barren the ground seemed without people. It feels almost dystopian. You can also hear every hit, every effort, even the encouragement from the players to their colleagues. Strange experience, but also incredibly boring when you are ten and during the lunch break, you have nothing to do.
