Re: 2nd ODI: India v Pakistan at Mohali - Nov 8, 2007
Some1 yaar relax, it's nice to know that you have such feelings for your country. From experience it is probably fair to say though that the crowds in India (not every where though) can be a bit miserly when it comes to appreciating good batting esp. from Pakistan. Same thing was palpably felt by everyone during our last trip in 2005. I know Akram's men were given a rousing reception by the crowd (? venue, Saqlain's test) when they won a test in India in 1999 but in general that's not been the case. Yes you must support the home team but you should also appreciate good batting and bowling displays from your opponents. That's all. And believe you me I would be saying the same thing if Pakistani crowds behaved like this with India.
