Cricket can be a bit of a monotonous sport at the best of times, so when rain stops play you have to find your own entertainment. Like this lot…
The rain soaked one-day international cricket match between Australia and Sri Lanka was cut short yesterday evening, but that didn’t dampen the Aussie spirits. The fans made their own entertainment, in the form of a massive “beer snake”.
Now, like us, you’re probably thinking: “What the f*ck is a beer snake?” Well, a beer snake is formed when you stack plastic beer cups together until they resemble a long slithering snake.
The fans at the Sydney Cricket Ground managed to create a ‘world record breaking beer snake’ after the two ends of the snake made their way around the ground and were eventually joined up together. Amazingly, the snake would have measured roughly 100m, which surpassed the previous ‘record’ set in Perth in 2007, which measured around 23m.
Having said all that, we have a feeling the lads from Guinness weren’t there with the measuring tape, so the ‘record’ will have to remain unofficial for now.
A spokesman for Cricket New South Wales said that beer snakes are usually discouraged for safety reasons, but this one was allowed because people were “having so much fun”.
“The atmosphere in the rain break was as good as it’s ever been, people were having a good time,” he said.
