Ishant, Raina unhappy with food in Brisbane

[express bowling]

Indians in India dont understand that if you want a white man to stop treating you like crap you need to dish it out to them in return. Just ask Ganguly who to me is the greatest ever Indian captain.

Seeing that you live in Australia ...what has been your personal experience in this regard ?

[zep1706]

Soft as butter. Visiting teams used to play in much worse conditions in India until a few years ago. This sounds like BS. I find it hard to believe that there won't be any veg food. If requested the organizers would make necessary arrangements. Probably they did not like the food but that's life.

To a degree I understand, but surely you have a dietician on tour. Makes absolutely no sense there isn't one. It isn't that big a deal anyway to be fair.

http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/67543/bcci-to-investigate-shikhar-dhawan-injury BCCI is concerned about reports that said that vegetarian food was not available for players in Brisbane. Ishant Sharma and Suresh Raina went to an eatery outside the ground to get food for themselves which did not please BCCI.

"If it's true, we will have a word with Cricket Australia. Before every tour, the requirements of our team are sent to the host board. Still, if the players had to go out to get their food for lunch, it's unacceptable," said the official.

Send them home to eat home made food

STFU and eat non veg.

When SL visited Australia in 2002, they had to wait for hours for the bus. No one was there to tell them what to do.

Aussies are really fools not to provide proper food to the visitors...

Read somewhere that Dhoni has two chicken burgers, three cans of coke and two scoops of ice cream for lunch ... no wonder he can't reach those catches afterwards :hysterical:

He is probably the fastest runner still. Catching thing is lack of effort, he doesn't even attempt those.

Is there beef available for when the Aussies come to India in the stadiums? I highly doubt it.

You are comparing beef to veg food. :facepalm:

Neither Ishant nor Raina are vegetarians Ishant- "Grilled meat is a favourite, especially during off-season but it flops when pitted against mom’s food. Rajma chawal, Chhole chawal and Kadhi chawal are worth a try." (http://www.hindustantimes.com/news-feed/cricketfeatures/for-ishant-sharma-joys-of-small-things-a-tall-ask/article1-1121827.aspx) Raina- "Talking of food, Raina doesn't miss out on having the Tunde kababs while he's here. ""Yahan aa ke toh main Tunde ke kabab zaroor khata hoon. At home in Ghaziabad, everyone is a pure vegetarian. In fact when I want to cook non-veg there, my mum shoos me out on the terrace where I have my cooking utensils. I'm told categorically that what ever non-veg or egg etc that I have to cook, I should do upstairs and not enter her kitchen at all,"" says Raina with a smile. " (http://www.awaztoday.com/News_I-would-never-date-an-actor-Suresh-Raina_3_19633_Showbiz-News.aspx) I bet they were just craving some unhealthy food

Well if its a staple for Australians yes. News flash being a vegetarian is a weird concept outside of India still. I saw an Indian guy in line here in Canada ordering breakfast and he was telling "what do you have veg". Obviously the waitress is like huh veg? I told him after people here have no idea what "veg" means and you need to say you want no meat. If Indians are going to whine about veg food and Australia provides it then India should provide Beef for Australians. Similarly if Pakistanis want Haalal food in Australia then if ever Australia plays in Pakistan they have their right to get Pork.

Cunning Ishu using the tried and tested method of Bhajji to create some controversy to garner sympathy of Indian fans and cover his own pathetic on field performance...

What abt Murali Vijay - The Tam Brahm Iyer boy?

Acc to Harsha Bhogle veg food was available, roasted vegetables, pasta, yoghurt, fruit juices, etc and in his opinion it was delicious. But Ishant and Raina didn't like the food.

[Iconoclast]

If there was veggie food available why did the BCCI management let them go outside the stadium in the middle of a match with no guarantee when they were going to return ? Also if that other post about them being non-veggies is true then this whole story is real shady. IIRC Raina was under suspicion of fixing right ?
