The Video is from ESPN http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cric...btc/index.html Transcript. From 4:50 onwards. Jaideep Verma . Indian Writer & ESPN Contributor "During the match I was disgusted with a lot of people in the crowd who were abusing the Sri Lankans at the drop of a hat and people were joining in the chorus gleefully, like the match had legitimised their need to give vent to their own Miserable frustrations publicly and project it on others. We Must not forget that the spectators doing the monkey chants towards Symonds in the infamous 2007 incident ....that Happened in Mumbai . This is actually one of the most uncouth crowds in India , given it's twin focus on unbridled money and greed and of course the tasteless cultural excesses of *ollywood , this aspect is not a surprise. Unlike what we saw in Dhaka , this is an agressive crowd which indulges in Organized Buffoonery at times Eve-Teasing and drunkenly spewed RACIST comments are par for the course. It is kind of scary to think what a few sporting successes will do to their already fragile sense of self-esteem probably lead to more agression and a greater sense of entitlement , which is a depressing thought as an Indian ,Grace is rapidly leaving our culture. YOU CAN PERHAPS CHOOSE NOT TO MISS IT THOUGH." Gokul Chakravarty ESPN Contributor "I even found a whole bunch of people/kids on two wheelers screaming obscenities at the Sri Lankan Team After the match had been won . Watching all these people pour out on the streets and display their entitlement laden exuberance makes me feel as if they dont even deserve this team." Andy Zaltzman ESPN Contributor "One man scooting past in a crowded car, however, leaned out of the window and shouted at me: “Go home, white man, go home.â€"
Just sounds like a rant from bitter, old men than anything else. I'm not defending these people but there will be people like them at every venue, some who probably got too carried away with victory and some too drunk. I dont understand why the writers are trying to paint the whole crowd or the city as something uncouth when its only a small bunch of people to blame.

Is this aimed at me?
Umm ... YEA. You still don't get it do you? I am not going to stop watching cricket at Australian grounds because of a few drunk hooligans. Likewise for Mumbai. Some punks behaved like complete tools, you think its fair painting the 30 odd thousand who came to watch with the same brush?

Its pathethic and should be deplored if even one person faced this. I dont know why people are having a go at the OP. In a world cup these visitors will carry impressions of our country with them. As we grow as a country, we need to behave like a mature nation too

Mild, verbal barbs. People, especially young 'uns, are bound to get exuberant and yell obscenities. To Andy Z, who got his unders twisted over "Go home!", I say "Get a thick skin, man, get a thick skin. Maybe your sensitivity is why ESPN sent you to cover Mumbai rather than Detroit or LA when they won the NBA championship." 2001-06-16-la-riot-inside.jpgRiots1-270x300.jpg

mumbai crowds have been a big let down in the past few years. they used to be the most knowledgeable and sporting for the most part but the its been going downhill ever since. heard many people abuse sri lanka when i was out that night as well. comparing them to other idiots doesnt make it right, to be honest. we should be gracious in our victories, thats all.

Gone are the times when we would have lived in our own bubble. If India truly has to emerge on the world stage, apart from economic power, they need lots of soft power. Such instances spoil the image of our country and should be deplored

My neighbhor is a chewtiya so I am a chewtiya as well, that is what the Indian defense is so far as I can see. Well done. The OP might be Pakistani but that doesn't make the point which he has raised wrong. But hey this is the country where celebration events are used as a cover for molestation, sexual assault and ****. But then everybody does it so it's all fine.

MS Dhoni should be a role model for every kid in India.Men like him and Aleem Dar make their country proud.
You were quite bullish about Afridi before the Semis. :hehe: I'd say Dar is a safe bet and a keeper. :icflove:
