I think that's quite intrusive really, shoving cameras in the faces of strangers in quite private surroundings. I wouldn't have a problem with maybe the odd picture or speaking to them, but videoing players like that seems wrong. How can people complain about the attitudes of sportsmen and how disengaged they are with fans if they are treated like that.

Exactly what I thought... to be fair to the guy with the camera, it was a once in a life time thing... He probably got over excited, I know I would. I guess it would have been OK if he glanced around with the camera like he was doing at the start - rather than fix it on SRT for a discomforting amount of time, right over him too!

The players are probably used to it. Compare it to MS Dhoni's trip to a barber, where virtually the whole city turned up to see him... they showed that on sky sports during the test matches, it was crazy... that's when I realised that the Indian star players have little life outside of cricket

Been shown before (I think), but this paralysed me with laughter, simply for the sound it made when it hit the blokes head.

Lol, that's gruesome.

That's what he gets for being such a crap batsman and not having a helmet though. How bad did he play that ball!

Not that it makes heaps of difference, but it does look like his mate was sending throw-downs and he might not have expected it.

But yeah, wear a helmet if you're gonna stand still ya goose.

At the beginning, "look, just have a big heart".

And then towards the end, "Win it, for the 160 million people".

They obviously should've been watching Ireland train instead of Australia. Baby steps and all.
