Brisbane bring the Heat – fire in DJ booth stops play at the Gabba


A Big Bash League match between Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes came to a brief halt after a fire at the Gabba.

Hobart’s second innings chase was four overs old when flames were spotted in the DJ booth on the third tier of the stadium.

Sussex wicketkeeper Tom Alsop was behind the stumps when the umpires paused play, with nearby spectators evacuated from their seats as the small blaze was brought under control with a fire extinguisher.

Play resumed around 10 minutes later, by which time the DJ had returned to her decks clutching a coffee and seemingly unaware of the drama.

The visiting side were equally calm, winning the match off the final ball to top the table and secure a home final in Tasmania.
