Here’s the footage of the dumbarse redneck Queenslander who shined his laser into Wayne Parnell’s eyes as he was going for a catch on Tuesday night. I show it initially in context, then slow it down on the laser footage..
It’s most definately a green laser of the sort intended for use by astronomers wishing to point out constellations of note.
Very poor form from one of New Texas’ finest, if he was trying to influence the result then he should have done it when Dave Hussey skied one earlier, not when we needed 13 off 14!
The story in the papers tonight is that the guilty party faces a fine of up to $8,000 and they’re calling out for any members of the crowd who saw him to call Crimestoppers.
Couldn’t even hit the guys face, poor form.

Exactly! Double fucktard!
If it didn’t hit him in the face, I can’t imagine it’d could have effected the butterfingered saffa juvenile whose last over gave the game away (as he will henceforth be known)

If any of you have used or seen a green laser pointer you would know how easy it is to distract someone with it.
On the videoclip the laser is visible only when it hits the ground,
that does not rule out it distracting the fielders focus prior to it.
A batsman would have pulled up for lot less.

You’re right. He’s lucky to be alive.

It is a green laser without doubts – I use one at work. Looks like innocuous pen.
But is intensely bright.
Judging by the slo mo – it was somebody he was facing as he slid on the ground, the point of light clearly travels backwards under his head / neck and chest
This is moronity at its maximum.
