Cricket pitch invader handed suspended sentence but warns he faces "sticky wicket"

Cricket pitch invader Daniel Jarvis has been warned he faces a 'sticky wicket' after being given a suspended sentence following his aggravated trespass charge. Jarvis - more commonly known as 'Jarvo 69' - was found guilty in September after pitch invading at The Oval during England's Test match with India in the summer of 2021.

After making his way onto the field, Jarvis attempted to bowl at the striking batsman Ollie Pope but went on to collide into the non-striker Jonny Bairstow. The 34-year-old - who has over 170,000 subscribers on YouTube - was later arrested.

In his defence, he told the court he had no intention of disrupting the match, but instead carried out the pitch invasion for the 'pleasure' of his viewers.
