Australian cricket fans wear full Hazmat suits, goggles… and sandals while sipping beer at India Test match
AUSTRALIAN cricket fans took fancy dress to a whole new level during their countries' Test match against India.
Aussies in attendance donned goggles, hazmat suits and flip-flops while sipping on beer as they watched their team at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Cricket fans were let in on Thursday but the stadium was only allowed to be filled to 25 per cent capacity.
Masks were also compulsory but the fans in the stands took it one step further.
A group of four lads were pictured in head to toe hazmat suits complete with rubber gloves, masks and goggles.
But they didn't seem to be taking things too seriously as they sipped on pints of lager.
Two women donned pink wigs as they made their way into the famous cricket ground.
Shane Warne called Cricket Australia chiefs 'muppets' in 2013 - a tag which would have been appropriate again for the two punters dressed as Cookie Monster and Elmo in Sydney.
Indian fans also joined in the fun with face paint and elaborate flags.
One even painted his arms and mask to complete the look.
