What's the deal with burning effigees?

[MattyG]

I ask this in the absolute interest of curiosity, why on earth would someone burn an effigee of a hated cricket player, is this a minority group taking it's fanaticism to far?

[Guest Hiten.]

When you get the answer, please let us know

[MattyG]

Because I've started this topic, I'll post a picture of myself for those who wish to mount it on a stake and set it on fire

its like ponting's parents getting abusive phone calls .. It happens in India on a larger scale because press promotes it. I have heard that journalists would gather few people, give them some money and get them to burn an effigee so they can take some pictures.

..effigy is big business in India, there are all kinda models available. So if you ever want to vent out your frustration, one can goto a local effigy dealer and get a pre selected model or customize it Some people depend on this income

The Australian Cricketer effigy would have to be a best-seller at the moment!

Well, the nude fatso would have been drunk as a skunk, and streaking whilst drinking is Australia's national hobby... so he's done very well for himself :haha: I think a bunch of sober people chanting and dancing around burning cardboard looks worse in my books. I just don't get it.

I have seen this first hand when we have overseas aussies and my trips to oz land. Aussies being drinkers is a complete myth. The poms show you wussies how to drinks. As for real drinkers come to India and Punjab. I guarantee Yuvraj could out drink ant aussie player. Get the bottle of whisky out and starting downing pegs with water. Not pathetically weak ausse beer

[King Tendulkar]

You dont even drink pints but some strange half glasses. Wimps

Nothing like a good old-fashioned off-topic chest-beating post... that's what I always say! Humour me... just how strong is this magical Indian beer that I've never heard about? What makes it so good? Different flavour? Colour? Alcoholic content?

Thunder 12-13% Most other beers are 7-9% and come in bottles the same size as a wine bottle. Most people drink whisky with water. Basically a normal glass will have the equivalent of 5 shots and often more with a dash of water. No coke and that rubbish that takes the taste of the drink away

If you guys started exporting that stuff to Australia you would never have to worry about playing us at cricket ever again... we'd all be in a state of perpetual pissedness and wouldn't be able to pick up a cricket bat.
