Australian Pitch Invasions

The reason that we don't have many pitch invasions in Australia is that there is a $5,000 fine which is strictly enforced. Just the thought of paying out that much money for a moment of "glory" will sober up most people.

Very true. The fact that you have to drink beer out of plastic cups and pay a fortune for the privelige also probably has something to do with it.
Not that i can imagine an Aussie throwing a full can of beer anyway like happened at the presentation after the final...well, not unless it was Fosters, and that doesn't count as beer in my opinion

you made a good point about the Pakistani captain though Abi. Pity these incidents will only re-enforce a few racial stereotypes over there at a time when this is certainly not needed, by the sounds of it
