Fight between Balraj Panesar and Stick Griffith

 

It happened that the England team was showing continuous attacking games to score goals against Canada. Then Balraj Panesar's hockey stick hit Griffith's hand and got stuck. This enraged Griffith and pushed Panesar. Due to this Paneshar got furious and he grabbed the neck of the England player. Then both of them grabbed each other's T-shirts and started pulling. It seemed that the playground had become a battlefield.
