Mexican wave campaigner Matthew Newton says his $25 ticket to the Australia-New Zealand cricket match was worth the national publicity to bring back the Aussie crowd tradition.

Newton was ejected from the MCG after instigating a stadium wide Mexican wave, which has been banned by Cricket Australia.

The 22-year-old says that he will continue to campaign against the ban, which he believes is ruining the cricket atmosphere, until it is lifted.

He told theage.com.au that the crowd at the match was just as annoyed that the wave had been banned. He said, "They were all really supportive in what we're trying to do in getting the ban on the Mexican wave overturned, trying to send the message to Cricket Australia that they've just become the fun police and their ruining the atmosphere of the cricket. It's absolutely impossible (to ban the Mexican wave). This is Australia, making a ban on that kind of thing is inviting us to do it even more."

He continued that the authorities were just as nice about the situation. He said, "I'm not going to criticize the police because they were fantastic, they actually said to me 'you are a legend'. I think they were embarrassed to be enforcing (the ban). And then when I walked out I got heaps of handshakes, people offering me their tickets so I could go back in their place, so that was fantastic."

Mr Newton was shirtless during the eight innings he actually got to see. He had the words, 'save the Mexican wave' written on his chest and 'don't throw things' on his back.

The ban was introduced after injuries were being caused by foreign objects being thrown during people's excitement when a Mexican wave occurred.

However, a spokesperson for Cricket Australia says that ban will continue to be enforced.

The spokesperson said, "St John Ambulance reported that they didn't treat anybody for injuries from the wave, which is like the first time that's ever been the case for ages, so that's a significant improvement. At this stage it will remain in place, who knows down the track, our main objective is to stop people being injured from objects being thrown and until that stops the ban will continue to remain in place."

Mr Newton says he cannot be deterred and will continue to spread his message so long as they Australian cricket tradition is banned.

He added to AAP, "The MCG is the people's ground. Cricket Australia seems to have forgotten that but the people here certainly haven't. The Mexican wave will survive."
