Yeah, that's a little bit "far-fetched" OF! Maybe the poor guys hand slipped...I never wave flags, but I reckon they get a little heavy after a long day....

The problem we at have at grounds like Centurion and Wanderers, is that the path the players take from the dressing room to the field, is quite narrow and long.

Remember a couple of years ago? The Merv Hughes incident? He went at a spectator with his bat (at Wanderers if I recall correct), after being dismissed and a spectator had a few choice words for him.

Okay, cricketers are open to a lot more abuse on the field. One, they play the whole day, and you can't get away. I mean, what do you do when you field at 3rd man. And as the day wears on, more "brown liquid" is consumed... And said brown liquid loosens the tongues more and more...

Like Rameez Raja and Daryll Cullinan said: Just keep your own mouth shut. The attention is on you as player, not on the spectators, no matter what they say. You are the professional, they pay to come and watch you play. Do that: Play.
