Australia Vs Pakistan Cricket in Abu Dhabi
 
I was thinking about checking out a day's play in the forthcoming matches to be played in Abu Dhabi but can't seem to find any info. Has anyone been before? Is it possible to get a beer at the ground?? Are all the spectator areas covered??

Thanks for any help, cricket fans. :huh:

Called the ground and were advised " no alcohol". As it is treated as a 'home' international, the PCB get to decide the rules within the ground.

They do have a licence though for other games...

Inject pieces of fruit with vodka?! Apparently an old South African trick......but surely not exclusive to them!
