    A serial pitch invader has been arrested on suspicion of assault after
    running on to the pitch during England's Test match against India at the
    Oval and steamrolling into Jonny Bairstow on his way to the middle,
    where he managed to bowl a ball before being hauled away by stewards.

    beardy was out not long after and looked very angry.

    the stewarding has been poor at a number of matches this season. there
    are a lot of them but most stand around in there stupid day glo vests and
    do nothing, despite a lot of yobbish and disruptive behavior in the stands. given hes done this 2x already youd think his id would be circulated to
    the other grounds and they would refuse him entry.

    remembering how poor security was at the euro final wembly, its only
    a matter of time b4 1 of these isis numpties takes advantage of the
    laxness at these sports events.
