Vuvuzelas

It's not smart to do it. Big reason is that a captain wants to discuss the tactics with his fielders and bowlers during the match. If they can't hear him when he is standing close them it basically interrupts the play.

Not to mention if you are sitting next to someone that has one. Just kills any conversation you might have been hoping to have. Cricket grounds are not nightclubs where you are aiming to endure as much noise as possible and where you need to yell to be heard.

I'm a traditionalist and cricket is the gentleman's game, not a place for rabble. Cheerleaders shaking to songs is OK as they doesn't disrupt my experience of viewing, but a bloody big horn next to my ear would.

Vuvuzelas have been present in South African sport for decades, I don't see why they're suddenly going to take over the world as a result of the world cup. If anything, it will cause a crackdown.

Hopefully it will also nuke a few of those stupid bugles.

Also there's suppose to be a big Vuvuzela concert outside BP Headquarters. The Vuvuzela orchestra will be 100 strong

They are no more 'atmospheric' than cars on a motorway, the bees in 'Swarm' or pneumatic drills at roadworks. They are all annoying sounds the world could live without, add to that number the vuvuzela.

Noise pollution?

Or that trumpet you hear at IPL Matches.

But Vuvuzelas sound like farting into a Kazoo.

That'll do me
Vuvuzela Radio - The sound of the vuvuzela!

Noise pollution?

Absolutely.

Perhaps I should work on a parody of the chicken song in tribute to the vuvuzela.

Stick a vuvuzela up your ar se, fa rt and play it like a pro
Endure it long enough, and your hearing's bound to go
Blow it night and day, and fill your neighbours up with woe
Hate someone so much then they're shaped so you can throw

Can't remember enough of the chicken song and can't be ar sed to spend more than the three minutes that took to "compose" (about the same length of time the original took to do I expect )

I bought myself one today

I've successfully got mine into Energy Australia Stadium here in Newcastle twice.

Though when I got there I noticed that I wasn't the only one who got one in. Security didn't even bat an eyelid.

I'm one of the few people who don't mind them. I'm indifferent.

Same mate, i dont really moan as such and got used to the noise within a flash though it would be very hard to concentrate if there going off all the time in cricket!

 

[IanG]

I could swear I heard them during the cricket world cup too.

Had mine conviscated when I went to the footy last weekend. Ausgrid Stadium security has gone way to far.

My dad got me one from South Africa. He regrets it daily - I have instantly become 300x more annoying .
