One video shared on social media shows a group of rowdy fans cheering on as one man bravely carries out the “boxie” — triggering bewilderment and celebrations from a large group that had assembled to watch the moment.

The beer sculling action is exactly what you think it is.

The gentlemen as seen in one video posted on Twitter, is seen pulling out a box from his private area before holding it aloft and pouring beer into it and downing the amber-coloured goodness.

The box is of course a piece of equipment used by batsmen to protect their groin and privates from having their middle stump knocked over by a darting Kookaburra.

For an American audience, the “box” is the same thing as the “cups” used in baseball, NFL and ice hockey.

Yep.

Aussie cricket legend Mark Waugh wasn’t on board when one video of the action was broadcast on Fox Cricket.

“Oh yuck,” he said.

“It looks used to me. I think I would take a shoey over a boxy.”

The video, shared on Twitter by the Checkers for Marmalade account, has more than 37,000 views.

The users of the Twitter account have told Yahoo the believe the “boxie” could be the next “shoey”.

“We’ve been doing them all summer at our own cricket games,” they said.

“Now it has captured a larger audience on the biggest stage who knows.”

Reaction to the video has been mixed with plenty sharing their disgust at what their eyeballs had been subjected to.

The only thing missing is for the trend to find a high profile figure to champion the cause — just as the “shoey” found in Aussie F1 star Daniel Ricciardo.

While surfers were behind the creation of the act, it was Ricciardo who put it on the global stage through his celebrations on Formula 1 grand prix podiums.

I didn’t start it,” Ricciardo said. “Well, as far as I know I started it in F1 but not worldwide. It was a few loose Aussies, from what I saw, the Mad Hueys — they’re surfies and fisherman and just loose guys. They travel the world fishing, surfing and whatever and they like to drink a bit of beer and whatnot, and that’s where the shoey began.

“On their travels they’d get people to do it as well and it’s just a bit of a laugh. I know Jack Miller knows a few of the guys from the Mad Hueys, so when he got his win in Assen, I suspected he was going to do it, and he did, so I thought I’d keep the Australian tradition going.

“Now Valentino Rossi’s got in on the mix. I saw he Instagrammed it yesterday and he said, ‘Everyone loves a shoey’ and ‘delicious’ and all that. A few words I used for it.

“I think it’s just a bit of fun now — everyone’s enjoying it.”

He was pretty spot on with his description of the Mad Hueys. The Aussie larrikins describe their schtick as a lifestyle of “fishing, surfing, living large and not giving a f***”, and say anyone is welcome to join them if they’re a “mad dog”.

That ethos certainly appears to be something at the core of the new “boxie” trend.
