A simple solution seems at hand to avoid most of the dangers in the Tui Catch A Million promotion.

With 24 shots clearing the boundary in New Zealand's 119-run T20 win over the West Indies at Mt Maunganui last night, safety has become paramount.

Blame should not be levelled at New Zealand Cricket or DB Breweries, the Tui brand owners, over the controversy.
