At least crowd done their part, which eventually worked out for India.
Had Ho gayee ab to - I dont know what these BCCI guys are doing. India should never have been awarded the match.
Umair - I agree with you about match should be awarded to Visiting teams in case of crowd trouble but Please dont say that we couldn't win the match or a great victory was taken away from WI. India was very much in the game. Its a pity that match had to end this way.
India’s heads hang low despite their victory over West Indies in the third one-day international in Rajkot.
India were declared victors under the Duckworth-Lewis method after crowd trouble, which has marred the entire series, forced an abrupt end to the game.
It was a must-win game for the hosts, who were facing a 3-0 scoreline in the seven-match series had they met with defeat.
National selector and former India all-rounder Kirti Azad spoke of his shame after the farcical outcome.
“It’s very unfortunate,” said Azad, who was a member of the 1983 World Cup-winning squad.
**"It’s against the spirit of the game. People should come to enjoy the game, not to disrupt it.
The crowd behaviour was really strange because India seemed to be in a winning position.
“I’m really ashamed of what happened here.” **
West Indies stand-in captain Ridley Jacobs would not be drawn into the matter, saying only: **“It was very disappointing.” **
ICC match referee Mike Procter explained his decision to give the win to the host nation.
He said: **"In my estimation, India got off to a fantastic start, that’s why they deserved to win.
“India were miles ahead of West Indies. It wasn’t the Indian players’ fault for the match to be abandoned. The team should not be penalized.” **
But he was clearly concerned by what has become a crisis in the series, in which four matches are still to be played.
This isn’t a small incident. It’s the third time it has happened here. What happened to Vasbert Drakes was the last straw."
Drakes was hit by a bottle with 22.5 overs remaining in the match. West Indies marched off the field and refused to return.
Procter said he did not blame the touring team for their decision.

As you will remember despite all the taunts about my predicting a Pakistani victory in the Pakistan-Zimbabwe Test and ODI Series I held on to my predictions and am now vindicated as Pakistan is about to win the First Test – if they have not won it already.
In all seriousness I put the following to you in respect of the latest Crowd Trouble in the India-West Indies One Day Match :
( i) The Hindus would not have done it especially as the Indians had gone on a run spree i.e. 200 runs in 27 Overs.
(ii) No Indian Muslim would not do it as he/she would not only draw the wrath of the Indian Hindus but also the wrath of the Indian Muslims, Christians etc. etc.
So we must now put on our Thinking Caps and decide who is unhappy with the Huge Crowds visiting the Indian Test Matches and One Day Matches? You must take into Consideration that there were more Spectators in one Day at the Third Test Match between India and the West Indies at Eden Gardens then the total number of Spectators at the Two or Three Tests + Three ODIs at Sharjah in the Pakistani Home Series with the West Indies PLUS the One Test Match in Colombo + Two Test Matches in the Pakistan Home Series with Australia in Sharjah.
Who has lost up to USD 30 Millions annually over the last two years? Who is not getting any Foreign Cricket Teams to visit it? Please compare this with the HEAVY EARNINGS of the BCCI.
I hope that the above answers your question : I still don’t understand, India were winning too, than why did they do that?
UMAIR316 Ji – Remember one’s Birds always come Home to Roost.
I would not wish the Conditions that are prevalent in Pakistan – Cricketingwise – upon my Enemy.
I do hope that all Foreign Cricket Teams visit Pakistan – the sooner the better
Have a Nice Day
BD Surti, grow up.
Yet again you people see Pakistan behind it. Shame on you for making such third class comments.
Bad ISI

Ehsan Ji : It is not Pakistan - that is my unequivocal statement and I will standbye it.
But there is a faction - I am not here to even discuss about it. All we should do is think.
I am still hoping to see India-Pakistan Match.
If I was even a Tenth of a Bigot as you consider me to be the I would be always against Good India-Pakistan Relations.
Contrary to your expectations - I am for good and normal relations between our two countries.
A weak and broken, unstable India might be to Pakistan's benefit. A weak and unstable Pakistan would be a disaster for India.
Put your thinking cap on. You will agree I am Right.
Have a very Nice Day
Ditto ISI 
Dear Badsurti....I think the leading ladies of Bollywood did it, because they wanna see Pakistani players.
After seeing the match all I can say is "Well, what can you expect from Indian Public?"
I can't believe that some people are actually defending the acts committed by the crowd today. Very shameful.
And Bdsurti, would you care to explain what does Pakistan have to do with today's incident.
Yes India were on target of winning the match compfortably but in the game of cricket, anything can happen anytime, no one ever thought India would win the Natwest final when Yuvraj and Kaif came togeather to chase the mammoth score of 325 runs.
The match could have gone either way, mostly towards an Indian victory but the possibility of Windies coming back into the game 40-60.
Overall, regardless of the state of the game, Mike Proctor did a wrong thing by appointing India the win.
Don't you think people of Ahmedabad where the next one day will be held are getting some ideas in their heads, in event if India looses that match.
ICC should intervene and appoint Westindies a victory with all means.

so it was 40-60.then how could you say that "A great victory from Westindies has taken away. " arnt you contradicting yourself.

** he did a great job**

Mike Proctor was wrong in awarding the match to India. At best he should have declared it a no result. Yes India would have probably won but by declaring it a no result or awarding it to WI, a strong message would have been sent to rowdies the world over. As it is they have got away with it and that stinks.
Shame on Proctor.
Goodone Ehsan bhai :k:
Here’s what some guppies think of this act
Shamefull act committed by the crowd:
Its all cuz of PAK, ISI and the bookies 
Proctor
Even though his decision was wrong but in favour of India, he’s DA MAN
This is shocking and disapointing.
Unbelievable.. 3rd match in a row.
Hence, India was on their way of winning, if they played at the same run rate. Who knows Sehwag could have got a huge huge total too.
Proctor did the wrong thing. Match should have been no contest, or win to West Indies.
I think the crowd is taking this as a joke now. A few people seem to be doing it after watching the other venues doing it too. From my thinking, each venue will try to do the same, taking this whole thing as a joke in all 7 matches, trying to set some pathetic record.
Someone should learn double standards from you :-

Shame on you.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering expanding its powers to remove international status from venues.
The revelation came after crowd trouble again marred India’s one-day series with West Indies on Tuesday.
India were declared the winners of the third match at Rajkot when play was abandoned after West Indies fielder Vasbert Drakes was struck by an object thrown from the crowd
The first two matches in Jamshedpur and Nagpur were also affected by crowd trouble but play was able to continue.
The ICC presently does not have the power to to remove the international status of a venue.
But ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed said the ruling body’s Safety and Security Committee would consider it.
“We have asked this committee to consider appropriate penalties for venues which consistently fail to meet their obligations in meeting minimum standards of security,” Speed said.
“This is likely to include the ultimate sanction of withdrawing international status from a ground, combined with a heavy financial penalty.”
Speed said the ICC had liaised with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to ensure that security measures would be enhanced for the series’ four remaining matches.
**"We have asked for details of the ground stewarding and security plans for the next four matches.
“We will also request that BCCI officials meet with ICC match referee Mike Procter, to discuss the matter and brief them fully of plans and contingency measures.” **
The BCCI has asked the chief minister of the western Gujarat state, which hosts the next two fixtures, to order local police to increase security inside the venues.
BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya said that the board’s requests had been accepted.
“In case any spectator indulges in activity that could lead to untoward incidents, he should be immediately taken into custody,” Dalmiya said.
**“If there is more than an isolated case in any particular stand, it should be vacated by police with the help of ground authorities.” **
The board also plans to install closed-circuit television cameras in the stands and has suggested that spectators be prevented from carrying in objects that could be used as missiles.
Thats what I was saying.This is a better solution.Punish those who are responsible for the crime.
Get your facts right, in both cases I have condemned the attitude of the fans. Nowhere did I support it and that is my point here. Proctor by awarding the match to India has given into these guys.
Next time read carefully before jumping up and down. The point I am raising is one of the hooligans and not the team performances.
