    What an irony. The clash between these two schools in the South is termed " the lovers quarrel". Rather it had ended up in a Battle. via DM iPad app

    Well, lovers' quarrels sometimes go out of control and end up in battles or worse.

    Looks like this is the trend now at big matches. I hope it does not lead to the authorities having to ban big matches in the future

    The match can be termed as the lovers' quarrel which turned into a rape.

    Now we don't have a war, we are fighting amongst ourselves for a game of cricket. Pitch invasions should be banned.
