How to make cricket exciting; From Reuters:

MUMBAI (Reuters) – A helicopter stopped play in a domestic cricket game in India after the pilot mistook the pitch for a landing pad, local media reported on Sunday.

Players were forced to abort Saturday's one-day game and scurry for cover when the hapless pilot set the chopper down on the letter 'H' painted in the corner of the cricket ground.

The 'H' stands for the name of the Himachal Pradesh team in the north-west Indian state.

A fire near the stadium also added to the confusion of the pilot, who misinterpreted it for smoke signals, according to the Hindustan Times.

A giant H and a fire causing a chopper to set down on a cricket field...who needs television sitcoms anymore!

When I first saw the title of your entry I envisioned a chopper landing in a field of actual crickets, then being completely engulfed beyond recognition. Quite biblical.
