Substantial crowd trouble marred both Dambulla ODIs, as several thousand ticket-holders were either unable to take their seats, or - in some cases - even enter the ground. SLC has issued an apology, and condemned the actions of spectators who forced their way into the venue.This is the first series in which SLC has sold its tickets through BookMyShow - a ticket distributor of Indian origin. Tickets were sold at outlets in many of the main towns in the region, as well as online. However, the perception that a move towards online ticket sales marginalised a large portion of cricket fans is what is understood to have angered some of those who swarmed the gates of the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium last week. Wednesdays ODI had even seen a large protest at the entrance, which led to severe congestion on the Colombo-Dambulla main road.SLC has clearly advertised the selling points of tickets, and has sold their tickets prior to the match at 18 outlets island-wide, including in Dambulla, Matale and Anuradhapura, an SLC release said. Ninety per cent of the tickets were reported sold through the above network and only 10% via internet.Public who did not purchase their respective tickets prior to the match behaved in an unruly manner, causing a situation outside the main gate. As a result, even the people who purchased the tickets could not come into the ground, due to the heavy traffic congestion caused by the unruly crowd who were blocking the main road in protest. Sri Lanka Police made several requests to the protestors to move out of the road to enable the genuine ticket holders to enter the ground. More than 2000 spectators who had purchased tickets complained that they could not get into the grounds within the first two hours of the play.The standoff between the police and the unruly crowd had only been resolved after the gates were opened even to those who had not bought tickets, in order to clear the road.In the previous match, on Sunday, thousands were seen entering the ground illegally, which led to the 18,000-capacity stadium having to accommodate up to 45,000 people. The protesting crowd had pelted the police with stones on Wednesday, but there have been no reports of major injury as a result of either incident.SLC would like to state that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and would like to denounce the violent behaviour of the protestors who pelted stones at the police and damaged property of the stadium. As a result, Sri Lanka Police had no choice but to use minimal force to curb the situation.The new ticketing protocols have been in place right through the tour, but Dambulla is the only venue at which substantial crowd-control issues have emerged. Dambulla also has the lowest capacity of the three limited-overs venues. Joe Montana Womens Jersey .

Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One thing you can always count on in sports is that the New England Patriots will never say anything bad about an upcoming opponent.Even when someone like Ben Roethlisberger isnt going to play.Its tough to see any injury for any player, and hes obviously dealing with a significant one, but Im sure theyll still be ready to go, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said Wednesday, looking ahead to New Englands visit to Pittsburgh to meet the Roethlisberger-less Steelers on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS).Theyve got a lot of good players, especially on defense, Brady said. Its a very veteran group, and they play well at home. They lost two games on the road, but were not playing them on the road. Were playing them at home where theyve won them all, so its going to be a big challenge for us.Roethlisberger, injured Sunday during a loss to the Miami Dolphins, underwent left knee surgery and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Landry Jones, who has been no more than so-so during his chances the past two years, is the quarterback as the 4-2 Steelers look to down the 5-1 Patriots.Hes obviously a good quarterback, running back LeVeon Bell said on a conference call Wednesday. I think he has a lot of good things that he can bring to the table. Weve just got to, as a whole entire offense, help him out and get him comfortable and get him confident in himself, and thats when he really will start striking.Bell, of course, and wide receiver Antonio Brown still have to be dealt with, but not having Roethlisberger with those guys has to make a difference.Asked about Bell, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said, Oh my God. Oh yeah, tremendous player. Great hands, catch the ball, very quick, makes people miss. Strong, breaks tackles, excellent balance, tough, doesnt run out of bounds, fights for extra yardage. Great player.Brady returned from his four-game Deflategate suspension two games ago and came out on fire. With Rob Gronkowski recovered from his hamstring injury, Brady is 57 of 75 for 782 yards with six touchdown passes and no interceptions.Brady is 6-2 lifetime against the Steelers with 22 touchdown passes and only three interceptions. His two pick-free games this year extended the teams run of no interceptions through the first six games.ddddddddddddThe scary thing about Bradys numbers is that he thinks he can even be better, that he has yet to work out all the kinks from the suspension.No ... Im not going to dispute his assessment of his game, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. Obviously, from my perspective, hes Tom Brady. Hes got six touchdowns, no interceptions and completing 76 percent of his balls, so from my perspective, we face a stiff challenge. But Im not going to question his perspective regarding his game.Last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, Patriots linebacker Donta Hightower dominated the game on that side of the ball, tackling Andy Dalton in the end zone for a safety to start the New England charge, then adding another half-sack later in the second half. He finished with 13 tackles and was named AFC defensive player of the week.The Steelers, who are 3-0 at home, wasted no time in declaring Roethlisberger out of this game, with Tomlin perhaps even sending a mild shot at other coaches (Belichick) when it comes to injury reports.Were a transparent group. We dont hide. We are who we are, he said. He had a surgical procedure to address his knee issue, so to eliminate any potential questions or distractions regarding his availability and get firmly focused on the task at hand with the man playing quarterback thats playing quarterback this week, thats the approach.Jones, who has thrown only one pass this season, was 16 of 29 for 209 yards with one touchdown pass and two interceptions in a loss at Kansas City last season. He had three TD passes and four picks in 2015.Sunday also will be the first game for Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount against the team that released him in 2014 -- after he walked off the bench during a game. Blount has been outstanding so far this season, scoring six touchdowns in six games.Were still very tight, Bell said of Blount. Me and him still talk a lot to this day. Obviously, hes doing great things on the field. I watch his games, he watches my games, we still critique each other and talk about some of the things we did good, some of the things we did bad with one another. ' ' '
