Deleted_User_1 Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Being away it is hard to gauge. I am not talking about the mood in cricket forums like ICF. I am talking about the common folks on the street, at gatherings, in newspaper articles. Are they furious, disappointed or they do not care. I would like to get some feedback from ICF'ers living in India. One thing is for sure, if this was World Cup, I think the players effigies would have been burnt, houses destroyed and families attacked. I do not thinks common street folks are that pumped up about test cricket or are they? Discuss!
bulbul Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 people just laugh at our team... Cuerntly the Most popular and important thing in India is only one "ANNA"...wherever you go people talk only about this.. even more importantly Media runs 24x7 news related to Anna so not much time given to cricket
EnterTheVoid Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 In Mumbai, nobody cared. In Hyderabad, nobody cares. Frankly, nobody here gives a sh1t.

I've lost all appetite for this series after seeing this (http://indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=270227): Utterly incompetent idiots of the highest order the BCCI are. Even if this is not their PRESENT headquarters, it was their headquarters in the past. And these are the mob that run world cricket.

I don't want to be harsh... one of reason You people ran away from India because a guy used similer tactics in 1947. also it's better than Riotiing... (this also may turn violent if something happened to Anna) there are couple of threads in Chit chat / political section if u need more details
Rahul Dravid Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Soooo....he's a time waster then!? Or he's waiting for someone to pay him to eat?
