... and there was hardly anyone to applaud Steyn's 400th wicket in Bangladesh.

Steyn's reaction on reaching 400 told the whole story, As if he was asking the crowd himself to cheer for this milestone. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy4vmJY6sdU]Dale Steyn becomes 2nd fastest 400th test wicket taker in the history of test match - YouTube[/ame]

Undoubtedly the most knowledgeable crowd in Asia and one of the top crowds in the world.:hatsoff: Have said that many times, Chepauk is as special as Eden Gardens.

How many do you reckon were there in numerical terms? In England these "A" matches would be played at the smaller county grounds such as Derby or Worcester

The photo was probably taken on thursday when it was a public holiday in TN becoz of the funeral of Kalam sir All movie shows were cancelled as well that day probably why the turn out to watch cricket.Having Kohli play the match probably helped It more of an one off than a regular trend

BG how is it that the Chennai crowd is so sporting? Other south Indian cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kochi,Vizag draw partisan crowds. Is it because Chennai people are like that or because most of the crowd is comprised of educated sports enthusiasts? And what about the popularity of the game in TN? Does it have an appeal amongst all sections or only Brahmins?
