Beer Snake Incident Disrupts Adelaide Test Match

Lachie Burtt, a 21-year-old electrician, became an internet sensation after constructing a massive 'beer snake' out of 250 cups during the second Test between Australia and India at Adelaide Oval, costing him approximately AUD 2,750. His stunt briefly distracted Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne while India’s Mohammed Siraj was bowling, leading to a stoppage in play that frustrated Siraj. Labuschagne found humor in the incident and accepted Burtt's subsequent apology on social media. Burtt explained that he and his friends had been enjoying drinks, with each fan allowed to purchase four at a time, resulting in a lively atmosphere around them. While Burtt's antics drew laughs from the crowd, they momentarily disrupted the match, highlighting the balance between fan engagement and the sport's integrity. Meanwhile, Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah's fitness remains uncertain ahead of the next Test, following his impressive performance in the series.
