Nah, no need to break for ale. Just keep it with you, mate.

Oh no, it's quite civilized. A "day" starts at 11AM. They play 3 2-hour sessions.

11AM - 1PM Session
1PM - 1:40PM Lunch
1:40PM - 3:40PM Session
3:40PM - 4PM Tea
4PM - 6PM Session

There are informal drinks breaks during the sessions, too. And the fans can drink all day if they want.

Went to one session while vacationing in New Zealand once. I arrived after lunch, but don't remember seeing the tea break. Guess there was too much ale flowing in the grassy knoll part of the stadium!

More obscure than my link to the youtube video of the Ritz Brothers and the Andrews Sisters singing the Brooklynonga?

Sorry. You overplayed your hand on that one. It was funny the first time we saw it, but it got old real fast. The Connie Stevens / Cricket reference was a Mark Padgett classic. You may not be able to top it?

Now This Is Real Breaking News ...
A team of heavily armed gunmen, some traveling in rickshaws, ambushed Sri Lanka's national cricket team Tuesday as it arrived for a match, killing six police guards and wounding seven players. The brazen attack heightened fears that Pakistan is becoming increasingly unstable.

Even though the bus was peppered with 25 bullet holes, none of the cricket players were killed. The attack was among the highest-profile terrorist strikes on a sports team since the 1972 Munich Olympics, when Palestinian militants killed 11 Israeli athletes.

It got "old real fast"? It was old to begin with. OK, compared to me, it's not really old.
