Cricket is a fascinating game which excels when it gets to the end of Day 5 and you simply do not know which way the match will go.
That will probably not be the case in Pak vs Aus where it is Day 4 in Dubai and Pak lead by 292 runs with 9 wickets in hand.
As to hitting a cricket ball around a public square, that is just not cricket and Perikles's objections based on the danger are very valid. The fine was a bit heavy handed though.
