Police will increase their presence at the first test in Dunedin after spectators were subjected to obscene language by drunk fans. Photo GettyPolice are stepping up their presence at University Oval today after a group of about 35 drunk men was evicted yesterday afternoon. It was a case of a core part of the group ''letting the team down'' and what started out as funny soon became tiresome. The men were also ''difficult to manage'' as they were evicted from the ground. ''There will be a little bit more of a police presence down their today, just to make sure that everybody enjoys the cricket, but they also don't drink to excess,'' Sr Sgt Thomson said.
