Hooters or Vuvuzelas Banned in Sri Lanka

[paulkatich]

I just a tweet from tony greig about this. I am relieved used to hate that noise. I couldn't even hear the commentary at times.


"Hooters or Vuvuzelas banned in SL. They are seven times louder than a chainsaw and can go over pain threshold of 125 decibels. Well done SLC"


I can watch Twenty Twenty WC in peace.

I watch cricket on mute anyway with commentary these days.

I think it's good move. It's basically a noise pollution.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Thank god. Vuvuzelas are so annoying.

 

[PakPosheeda]

About time!

I'm sure SL crowd still have no idea why they finally got banned.

 

[Square Drive]

Good move!

 

[LethalSami]

[praveen]

[saeedhk]

Thank god.They were really annoying.

 

[dhump]

[style_guru]

I am sure Tony the Greig must've got a hand in this.

 

[withlovefrom vizag]

good news....
Sanga injured,vuvuzelas banned

 

[Markhor]

Thank God, couldn't stand this constant blaring of horns in the background.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Great news. Watching cricket in SL has always been a pain because of these vuvuzelas etc. Good work by SLC.

 

[leggie786]

What are hooters??
For a second i thought "Hooters - the exotic restaurant"...never been there though but heard a lot about their waitresses

 

[Bullet Drive]

Game is sounding a lot better, just need to ban the singing or what ever they do..

 

[yadunoe]

I disagree, I think it adds to the atmosphere within the ground

 

[PakPosheeda]

Am I the only one hearing those damn vuvuzelas still?

 

[ScotRaz]

Am I the only one hearing those damn vuvuzelas still?

nope, can hear that damn band also!

 

[Mohsin]

It wont matter...bar the SL games, itll be empty anyway

pathetic stuff from PCB to allow this medieval instrument. Really gets annoying and have to watch on mute.
[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] please give our message to Wasim Khan and PCB to ban hootees.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is a god lol Oh my god i was absolutely annoyed with those noises

now it's pain watching these games in Pakistan. PCB has really some incompetent people running matters. You can see it when they hire people to give us mental torture instead of making a better viewing experience.

It's not even natural. Looks like someone in the PCB thought of an idea of hiring people for constantly hooting to make the so called atmosphere better. It's painful on tv. Imagine people who enjoy quietness having to sit through that. must be a big torture.

As is we dont have any crowds - let them have their fun.

If you thought the sound on TV was bad, you clearly don't know how it was in the stadium.

They literally sell these things for Rs. 50 in the stands and for some reason every spectator buys one!

I dunno about this. This was my second time to see a test match in Pindi and the crowd was pretty vibrant. Even more so than the last time. They were having fun, cracking jokes and regularly poking fun at players. And I think the same would happen even if we took out the deafening sounds.
