Did any player get hurt?

Pathetic stuff from the fans. England got whipped today. Didn't see anyone throwing stones at Smith.
 
They're walking off.

Sad to see this. Sri Lankans have always been good sports. One odd idiot in the crowd ruining things for them.

I hope people don't judge the Lankans based on this one incident.

Complete silence from the moderate Sri Lankans. Where were they radicalised? :tuq
 
Im loving the fielding effort by our boys.

Need to drop Irfan, he is not international standard.

Amir is reported to be back from tri-series in September.

So no more clumsy Irfan in the field.
 
I think we may get to finish this match without the fans in that particular stand.
 
Lol, this is hilarious. Full scale riot going on, guys with guns running around and apparently the riot went on for a while without anyone noticing.
 
The precedent is Kolkata 96 - Clive Lloyd was the match referee then and the match was forfeited in favour of Sri Lanka.

Javagal Srinath, who ironically was playing that night in Kolkata, is the match referee. Question is whether they might resume the game in front of a sparse crowd or just abandon it entirely.
 
Chill out. It was one or two people. Stop blaming all the Sri Lankan fans for this.
They threw stones during some ODI series against India too.

It's not a Lankan thing. Some subcontinental fans take the game too seriously.

As opposed to drunken racist abuse OZ and English crowds hurl at the players. You don't have to throw rocks to hurt someone. Get over yourself.
 
Let's not make a big deal out of this guys. Sri Lankans have been supportive of Pakistan cricket

Let us not blame their entire fan base for a one-off incident. Let's also not forget what their team went through in Lahore. This is nothing compared to that.
 
There is a reserve day for all the ODIs. so game could continue tomorrow.

Don't panic and overreact PPians

Most of the posters are chill like me. Shiz happens. Had it been india that would have been otherwise. :sanga
 
Cricinfo are reporting:

From what I can gather a fight broke out in the stands some 40 minutes ago. Some people were thrown out of the ground, and a lot of stuff was consequently thrown from the stands until one rock hit a Pakistant fielder. Since then the teams have reached the safety of the dressing rooms, riot police has arrived, armed guards have arrived and police has always been there. The stands have been evacuated

I think it was local fans beating up each other that got out of the hand. Some of the guys who were kicked out or left the ground started throwing rocks from outside.
 
I hope gurdge against BD crowd 'll be normalized a bit........... PAK, IND to dekhlia, bacha tha Lanka, lagta hai uo vi aai gaya.....
 
I think they cleared the ground because of fighting in the crowd then then someone started throwing stones in from outside of the stadium as no one was in the stands.

If you throw rocks at cricketers in the middle of the game, yes.

So why bother with laws, police and the courts system then? Just let mob rule decide the appropriate punishment on the spot. Think of all the billions that will be saved on legal fees and prison administration costs.

Would be cool to finish the match in an empty stadium, Reminds me of that Rock vs Mankind match.

Sometimes nothing is better than good old beating. The cops will beat the crap out of them in jail or outside the stadium. Therefore, it doesn't matter who beats up the culprit, he is still getting beat up.

There was a bengali fan with bengali flag in the crowd. Just saying :yk. Surprised no on has blamed him yet.

You could have given the example of the streakers which would have been more apt. And yes they are thrown out and banned from the stadium. As far as racist abuse on the ground is concerned, it is inexcusable but physical violence is an absolute no-no.
 
Praveen: "As I have been in the grounds this fight has nothing to do with loosing the match. The fight was between two drunk crowds. Unfortunate. Please publish"

Just to add more meat...
 
really sad!! Fell sorry for sri lankans fan!! Some idiots ruin the party & brought shame for them!!
In last few matches, I saw some stupids were dancing which was really odd to see!! Can be said as vulgar dance!!

Really? you should have told me earlier, I thought it could be Murali - no one can throw that hard & long......sahle uo Bangal ka baccha hi aasli culprit hai.......... :(
 
Is SLC selling alcohol now adays ? [MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION] I saw several plastic cups with beer in them at Pelekelle.
 
A stone hit a Pakistani fielder. CI reporting

The cricinfo live commentators aren't in the ground so they are as reliant on hearsay as the rest of us. I don't think anyone was hit from what I saw.

that's ok as long as they talk the necessary precautions that need go with situations where alcohol consumption can be conspicuous.
