What protocol should be adopted if a pitch invader comes onto the GSL field during the PSL final?

[Major]

First of all, i would like to say, poor stuff by Dubai stadium authorities for allowing a streaker onto the wicket.

Thing is, this will influence other people who will try to streak in cricket games in future.

Now the final is happening in Lahore, if god forbid someone streaks in that match, what are the authorities suppose to do when level 5 security is being provided(level 3 is whats provided to VVIPs)?

Shoot on target?

 

[Moiza]

The only way a streaker is reaching the pitch is through an underground tunnel which surfaces on the pitch, no other way.

 

[Adil_94]

shoot them with a tranquiliset dart or tazer them.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Shoot him down by a sniper

 

[Major]

Shoot him down by a sniper

but then again, that creates a situation where players wont be able to continue mentally.

 

[MMHS]

Deshi style - dholai.

Few things need to be dealt with old style protocol.

 

[Barragan]

That guy didn't streak.

He was a pitch invader.

If it happens in Lahore, then you can't shoot the guy infront of the players, crowd and millions watching from home, with him lying in a pool of blood.

Need to make sure it isn't a disturbing scene.

Got to put him to sleep with tranquillizers or something.

UAE is a different thing. There is no way any one is getting close to the ground in Lahore with all the security. An even if he did, he would be harmless because all spectators would be frisked before entering.

Unlike what movies show, tranquilizers don't work immediately. There is a reason zoo animals who are an immediate threat are shot with real guns and not tranquilizers. Tranquilizers depend on the weight and size of the person (from causing no effect to an overweight guy to the same dosage killing an underweight person) but it takes long minutes to take effect which doesn't help neutralize any real threat

Shoot to kill

 

[Chief Destroyer]

It's not gonna happen. There will be too much security.

What else do you propose be done?

This would be a precarious situation and can't go the extreme way, with him being shot and blood spilling everywhere.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I don't know, we better ask misbah

 

[Haroon786]

I don't know, we better ask misbah

We don't have 2 months though, the final is on Sunday.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

How about don't worry about it let the authorities handle it?

 

[Rayyman]

Wahab Riaz or Anwar Ali to tackle him down.

 

[Major]

you are right, but its fairly possible.

The vvip area isn't grilled, and anyone from that area could come onto the pitch.

Getting VVIP tickets isn;t difficult for no one, alot of sponsor tickets make their way to someone crazy enough

Since everyone will be frisked thoroughly, I dont think a pitch invader would be a serious threat to the players. However, many Indian stadiums have nets to prevent people coming onto the pitch, you can try same

What I found really strange and incompetent was that not a single security guard chased that guy when he was running onto the field, and neither was he "escorted" away by the security.

Sammy was relaxed mind you (although I would´ve found it as very annoying if I was the Karachi batsman waiting for the final ball), and would´ve even taken out and reinstated the battery had the phone got hanged. )

Ideally, this is what you want.

Also, the idea of netting would do.

This right here should've been the end of the thread ) )

Epic Trolling guys !!

 

[cricketjoshila]

Pitch Invader?With the security thats in place the invader will have to be Batman.

Lahore has nets?Right.

 

[Barragan]

Lahore has nets?Right.

I think there is some sort of a barrier in place.

 

[DRsohail]

nothing wrong if someone does it for the love of a player let him do it unless he is threat to somebody..
