The Yorkshire crowd’s reaction to this fella dropping his beers at the cricket is simply peak Britain
To the cricket now – not a phrase we use too often on these pages – where it was day two of England’s first Test match against Pakistan at Headlingly.
And we mention it not because of anything that happened on the pitch but because of this most unfortunate chap whose attempt to carry four beers back to his seat didn’t go entirely to plan.
It will be entirely relatable to anyone whose ever tried to use one of those four cup cardboard holders – so all of us then – except we’ve never had a fail quite like this.
“Oh no, no”

Most British thing you’ll watch this week? All year, we reckon. And these people said it best.

I have to say I reckon that’s more fault to the cardboard tray, I’m sure the spillage on the way there hasn’t helped but you really need the ones with handles https://t.co/Y6xWB9oC8S

absolutely diabolical technique here. Reported to the ICC for an illegal action. Elbow bends way too far for that kind of delivery. https://t.co/moQmxIY6Ef pic.twitter.com/Tlz0N6SS5e

Probably about £30 worth of booze there, poor fella.

Laughed a lot when this happened. Stuart Broad’s comments were icing on the cake 😜🤣

But it turned out to have a happy ending – he got his next four pints for free – and they even made it back intact this time!
