5 Best crowd banners in cricket stadiums
The audience at times motivate their players or engage in hilarious banter with the opposition team through the creative use of banners.
4. The type of Ashes matters
The Ashes is one of the oldest and most prestigious trophies in the history of cricket. The age-old cup, vied for by the oldest teams in international cricket (England and Australia), is one of the things still keeping Test cricket relevant in this age of accelerated cricket. The Ashes is a highly intense affair in which both teams are rife with pressure and anxiety.
The term ‘Ashes’ originated in a satirical obituary in a British newspaper after Australia’s first victory on English soil. It stated that English cricket has died and the body will be cremated and ashes will be taken to Australia. Ever since then, Ashes has become an ultimate rivalry between two cricketing giants.
The fans play an important role in the ashes with their constant support as well as banter. In one of such banner, an English fan took a dig on Australia by saying that the only Ashes the Australians will take home will be the ones which would be left from the fireworks (after England’s Victory).
