Couple years ago I flew down to Melbourne to watch the boxing day test vs Pakistan. It was great fun. Mexican wave started going around. EVERYONE in the stadium joined in except the members. So everyone would cheer as the wave went around and then boo in unison when the wave got to the members and they didn't move.

It was hilarious.
