In the game between Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars, a lot of fireworks were expected. Colin Ingram provided the same with a brilliant half-century. However, there was also a lot of noise off the field that caused the distraction. A fist fight unfolded at the stands between two men right after the Strikers registered a 41-run victory.
In a video that went viral, a spectator named Kyron Huddy recorded the incident. While the presence of the security and the intervention of police was helpful in stopping the altercation, one of the parties ended up with a bloody nose. The spectators weren’t pleased with the same owing to the presence of children at the venue.
Spectators recount their experience of the fight that broke out

He ended up with a bloody nose but it could have been worse. You don’t want to put yourself or your children in that situation where there might be that chance of violence.” Kyron Huddy said.
“I just think it’s terrible it’s getting to the stage where it’s not safe to come to these sort of events,” one was quoted as saying by 9 News. “It’s not pleasant and particularly when people have got their kids with them and then they decide that the normal rules of society somehow don’t apply,”
