Xtra Time Web Desk: Daniel Jarvis aka Jarvo 69 once again interrupted play in the ongoing series between India and England at the Oval on Friday. The stand up British comedian was seen entering the field of play in the first session of Day 2 of the fourth test match. This was the third time he entered the field of play after Lord’s and Leeds.
The incident happened during the 33.2 over of the England innings as Umesh Yadav was getting ready to bowl his third ball. All of a sudden Jarvo was seen rushing as if he was keen to bowl and dashed at the non striker Jonny Bairstow.
Jarvo intruded on the field on two separate occasions earlier during the ongoing Test series. The first time he entered the ground was at Lord’s when he disguised as an Indian cricketer. As he was escorted outside the ground at Lord’s, Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja burst into laughter.
The second time Jarvo entered the field of play was at Leed’s during the third test match. This time Jarvo was padded up as a batsman as he went right at the pitch and started taking guard only to be cordoned away by security personnel. Later Yorkshire county banned him for life from entering Headingley ground.
Though an Englishman, Jarvo, has become a huge fan of the Indian cricket team. The prankster has become a hot trend on social media. At the same time it raises serious question on the player’s security. It is ridiculous that the prankster has bloughed the security personnel on three occasions and entered the field of play on three different grounds.
