Social media users who claim they were at the famous cricket ground said Barrett was removed from the venue for skulling a beer.
One man said he was sitting ten seats away from Barrett when the New Zealander was spotted by a fan.
‘He had half a beer and the boys chanted “skull”,’ the man said, adding that Barrett only had half a beer when he complied with the chants.
‘Barrett presented as calm and at no stage was arrogant or non-compliant,’ the man said.
‘At no point did Barrett appear intoxicated just enjoying a day in the sun supporting some fellow Kiwis on the big stage.’
Others called the whole situation ‘bulls***’ and claimed ‘he did nothing wrong’.
One cricket fan told Stuff his nephew got a photo with the footballer.
He said Barrett was extremely approachable accepting an autograph and a picture’.
