Yuvraj shows middle finger to jeering Lankan fans

[goose]

better than showing your middle stump i suppose.

That's too soft of UV. What's the big deal, there are hundreds derailing his ability in the media on a daily basis. He is well within rights to react but that will only add fuel to fire. I'm sure Indian fans are no saints either. Players must be getting plenty in the Indian grounds. Lest someone wasn't throwing stuff at him. Here in NZ, crowd can be notorious on the Aussie players. Some players react and some don't. They don't make a mess of the situation though. Being called "Water boy" is better than "Pommie Bastard" or "Sheep Shagger" or "Curry Muncher" or "Kafirs" or "Terrorists" and the likes. I have heard all these abuses hurled at selected players. Majority of them didn't care a thing and were totally focussed on the game even when being 12th man.

Punjabi blood has been historically hot. This is in the genes..You can't change it.Its not about mentally weak or anything. Its an instictive reaction and I would do the same and it wont make me mentally weak in any sense...what are some of you talking about? Yea, the police case is off but the reactionis reasonable and I dont see the middle finger in the picture anywayIts the index finger.

Wrong on the journalism part. I didn't know Indian media could stoop this low especially TOI. Listen to the comments here. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videoshow/6253094.cms

"water boy" seems a very accurate description of the job Yuvraj is currently carrying out.

*Troll Alert*.

:hatsoff: Ranjha. For some here who are acting like so timid bcoz UV rightly showed the middle finger' date=' if you guys were in a similar situation, chances are you would probably just bend your head down and walk like sheep as if you did not hear anything and go on with your non gutsy sorry life :two_thumbs_up:[/quote'] Sachin was just 16 year old when Pak fans very chanting , "Go back and drink milk". You know how he reacted? He ddint speak a word, instead he hit booming sixes and the crowd went quiet. Showing a middle finger is something a 12 year old would do. If UV is so easily riled by a bunch of 'fans' imagine how muich an opposition captain can take advantage of him. Its nothing to do with being timid or not. When a crowd of children in a zoo try to tease a monkey, they only do it to get a reaction. The more the reaction, the more fun they have. UV just played into their hands. Dont be surprised if more and more fans try to provoke him in the future

It's the most idiotic way of reacting. Crowd is like trolls on forums. Give them any attention and you are encouraging them for more.

India is a big country with many cultures. There has been Bhagat Singhs, Bose and Gadar party and on the other hand there has been Gandhi and the congress party. Difference in opinion but we can say the motive was the same. Some people like to bend over and some like to stick it up theirs. There is no wrong way of doing things unless you go to the extreme. This is just instinctive stuff..Nothing unusual..Hate mongers should find something better to do.

My My Yuvi hate brigade is working full time now :headshake:

Turns out the story is quite the opposite. Crowd fingered lol..If someone fingers me, I will whoop their ass or atleast give it back to them. Crowd fingers 'waterboy' Yuvraj COLOMBO: From dashing middle-order batsman to sidelined 'waterboy', it's been a dispiriting drop for Yuvraj Singh. And the Lankan crowd rubbed it in on Tuesday, making sure to remind him he'd been left out of the team for the third Test for Suresh Raina. The T Murugaser stand adjacent to the dressing room made sure Yuvraj stayed in the limelight. The Oval Taverners bar kept the club members throats suitably greased, and fun and frolic turned to temper tantrums. As Yuvraj was carrying drinks back from the ground after the tea break, one fan shouted, "Why are you carrying the water?" Others followed suit. One gesticulated, giving Yuvraj the finger. An agitated Yuvraj pointed it all out to local authorities. The audience might not have heard what Yuvraj was saying, but it was obvious that he was complaining. This goaded them further, and the taunts intensified. The police was immediately ushered in to keep things quiet. It's hard to be tough on the club's members though, and the crowd was allowed to stay put, making for some uneasy moments. "Waterboy, waterboy/Don't let me down waterboy", they sang in mock defiance and took to praising every Indian player coming out of the ground. "Munaf Patel, you will be captain one day," they shouted. Pragyan Ojha was hailed as the next Muttiah Muralitharan, but the best cheer was reserved for Raina: "Raina, Raina, well done man/You have made us all proud." Every once in a while, they would return to Yuvraj. "You are my sunshine/You are my waterboy/We want our waterboy," they sang in unison, as Yuvi bristled in the dressing room.

The title of this thread is misleading, he is pointing towards the fans whio heckled him, not showing the finger (which can give different meaning)

[Ranjha]

The title of this thread is misleading' date=' he is pointing towards the fans whio heckled him, not showing the finger (which can give different meaning)[/quote'] but then there will be no masala left in this thread for hate mongers to feed on:haha:

[TheWall]

maybe Yuvi should have shown his 'Other Middle Finger' to these ugly Sl fans...
