Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

exactly. Our crowd greased up their asshole and bent over. We deserve what we are getting in this series. I would never forget those unpatriotic couths of pakistan who cheered louder for indian boundary than they did for paki boundaries. I really hope that indian crowd kills a couple of paki that are visiting india right now.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

There should be no regrets for anything good you do....if anyone who should be feeling bad is the Indians for not reciprocating with warmth..

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

I am not saying we should’ve thrown stones at them or anything like that. But really, some pakis were so in love with india in that series that they were actually rooting for india to win. I stand by my earlier statement. I hope the people that cheered more for india DO visit them in this series. And when they do, I hope shiv sena douse them on gasoline and set them on fire. I will forever be greatful to shiv sena if they do that and hell mark it down, I will make a $500 donation to their organization.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

Look what the Indians did now. Throwing Chai ki pyaalis at the Pakistanis when they are losing :rotfl:. Pakistanio, jaago and never ever try to do what you did in 2004. You disgraced true fans like us who understand the game and want to give our team the home advantage.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

^^ C’mon, don’t look at things negatively now. It wasn’t just a plain old chai ki piali that was thrown at Naveed! I think someone in the crowd really loved his performance and wanted to award him with a priceless antique artifact, and of course the spectators can’t access the playing area, so the only way to get that artifact to him was to throw it in the ground towards him.

And Inzi’s so stupid that he gave that priceless object to the umpire. :rolleyes: Could be worth millions!!! :smiley:

shayad meri tarah indo-paki fan:blush:

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

right on, that pathetic display of wanna be sportsmanship was sick! it was liek in the spirit of friendship there wasnt even aggression from our players also, because of the love and the bullsh** appretiation for the indiands for coming to pakistan! seriously it was like a bad dream never in my life i thought a pakistani crowd would accept failure and loss for the sake of being accepted as friends by india? there was no homa advantage when they came! no hostility felt by the indians at all!

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

The crowd at jamshedpur seemed pretty good. Actually better than the last couple of games. Other than one incidence of throwing stuff at Rana and half of the people leaving when India was 82-6, i think the rest cheared everything.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

I think they didn’t deserve all that love from our fans at all, these MORONS are never gonna learn and they should be treated the way they deserve. I have just been reading some comments from India fans on this issue and the LOSERS think that their fans behaved the way they SHOULD be behaving and this is how the game should be played by not cheering opponents. They think that Pakistani fans behaved well because they were ordered by Musharraf and terrorists tried to change their negative image by behaving well.

These arrogant JUNGLEES DID NOT DESERVE all that love.

Read some of their comments here:

Unfortunately majority of them have negative thinking.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

It's a shame that majority of Indians fans have came with lame excuses regarding the crowd behavior. I distinctly remember the stupid statement given by BCCI immediately before the 2004 Indo-Pak series that if even a single stone will be thrown at their team, they are going to cancel the series. I don't think they had the balls to come with a statement this time. (I am refering to the bus incident as well as what happened at 3rd ODI). On the contrary, Pakistan vice captain Younis Khan said in a press conference that " hum nay us pather ko phool samjh karr qabool kyaa hay". Anyways I pray for our team for the 4th ODI, because any thing can happen in Ahmedabad when our team will win Inshallah, in that case I feel pity for the muslims sitting in the crowd as well.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

English, australian crowds are quite appreciative of the opposition teams. In case you plan to put forward ‘educated crowd’ issue then take up example of Zim, SA and WI crowd who likes to appreciate.

Though I agree that we shouldnt make THIS big a deal about this. At least I did not expect them to reciprocate the reception pakistani crowds gave to indians. I had two contradicting chennai and kolkata/dehli crowds example to learn from.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

All those who're saying that Pakistani fans shouldn't have supported Indians in that manner in which they did, do not forget that it was a first series after such a long time and this kind of reaction is expected. Another major factor was the goodwill that was needed between two countries for the advancement in the peace process.

I believe next time India visit Pakistan, next year that is, Pakistani supporters will not go extra mile to support Indian team, but still give them the best hospitatlity and support in crowd as is required by good sportsmanship. I think, as Musharraf said about the team's decipline, that its remarkable in the world and Bob has also said that in Sept, that Pak team is a lot easier to handle (ofcourse except Akhtar) and to maintain decipiline as compare to his previous tenures. Same would go for Pakistan crowd, if we do the same when next time India or whoever visits Pakistan, it will present a very good picture of Pakistani people in the world. Others will love to tour Pakistan more than they do now. As we enjoyed very pleasent support from Aussies, when we beat them in one of VB series ODI. They were cheering and all that for displaying a good fighting come back of young Pakistani team.

I mean come on my fellow countrymen, if Indian crowd (not all cities ofcourse) is doing what it has been famous for last 3 decades, let them be. Do not expect them to be Karachi or Melbourne crowd. They have gone too far in the love of game (even worshiping bat and ball) that they cannot see India losing at any cost. Let them do it. I hope in next ten years they will realise (as we have done after passing our great dominating era) that its just a game, yeah close to our hearts, but still a game. And someone has to win and other to lose.

We (supporters) do not need fall on their level, but keep doing things in a decent manner.
I say we continue our support for our team, no matter how rough is this restructuring ride, we gotta support them. Also we need to appreciate the countries which are touring us, in times where good news from Pak rarely manage to get headlines in world media. So let us (the citizens/spectators) prove how deciplined we are and continue with our tradional hospitality.

The Wisden Verdict by S Rajesh

April 12, 2005

Shoaib Malik's efficient methods proved crucial in Pakistan reaching the target © AFP

The last time a one-day match was played at Motera, West Indies were exactly in the situation that India found themselves in today. They amassed what looked like a matchwinning score of 325, with one of their openers, Chris Gayle, smashing 140. Then, they watched helplessly as India chased down that target in a canter, with 14 balls to spare. Pakistan didn't quite win so easily, but in Inzamam-ul-Haq they had just the man for the occasion. It was a fabulous knock under pressure, and it ensured that the team which deserved to win did so, even if they contrived to make it much tougher than it should have been.

After the game at Jamshedpur, the first word which came to mind when describing Pakistan's batting effort was clinical. For the second time in consecutive matches, that adjective was an apt description of their performance with the willow for much of their innings today, though that discipline wasn't quite there when they bowled. Since Bob Woolmer has come on board, there has been a significant emphasis on strenghtening the basics – the fielding, the running between the wickets, the fitness. There have been lapses, but overall, this Pakistan outfit is much more solid, and far less flashy, than their predecessors.

On another swelteringly hot day, it would have been easy for Pakistan to avoid the singles and twos, and concentrate on the boundaries, especially after having spent three-and-a-half hours in the field. Instead, they ran as if that was the only way of scoring runs. Sample these stats – Shoaib Malik made a run-a-ball 65, and only 12 of those runs came in boundaries. And how many dot balls did he play? Only 16. Between overs 14 and 34, Pakistan scored 120 runs – that's exactly six an over, yet there were only four fours during that period. It was so efficient and without fuss, it was almost boring to watch. This approach might result in fewer spectacular fireworks from a side famous for it, but it will also fetch them more success.

For the Indians, though, this will be a tough loss to recover from. Sourav Ganguly made one early change from the script used in that game against West Indies in 2002 – he had chosen to field after winning the toss in that game – but no-one can blame Ganguly for his decision today: the team batting first has been winning in this series, and despite the excess moisture on the pitch which caused an hour's delay, the track looked a belter when play finally began. What Ganguly will find much tougher to justify is his promotion to No. 4 in the batting line-up after the outstanding start that the top three had given the team.

Ganguly might have opted for the move to prove a point about his batting, but all he managed was eat up 33 balls in scoring 18 runs in a match in which all batsmen scored at around a run a ball or more. With the innings already 32 overs old when Mahendra Singh Dhoni got out, logic would have suggested that Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif be the chosen ones to play the next 16 overs, with Ganguly coming in only if absolutely required to. Ganguly's stay at the crease not only checked the momentum, it also meant Sachin Tendulkar was struggling for strike – he faced only 21 balls when Ganguly was at the crease.

It's important that Ganguly run into form in the long term, but what was more critical at that point was to do what would have given the team the best opportunity to win the match. Ganguly coming in at No. 4 certainly wasn't the answer.

Sachin Tendulkar was at his fluent best as he produced a splendid hundred © AFP

The final result also put in the shade an outstanding batting effort by Tendulkar. Plenty has been written about his form, but unlike Ganguly, who seldom even looks like buying a run, Tendulkar has been middling the ball well, was consistent in the Tests, and had only failed a couple of times – a big score was round the corner, and it was hardly surprising that Pakistan felt the heat today.

From the first ball, which he clipped magnificently to square leg for four, Tendulkar's fluency was there for all to see – the feet were always in position, he hardly played and missed, and he never missed out on a loose ball. What stood out, though, was the manner in which he dismantled Danish Kaneria, negating his leg-stump line with a meaty reverse-sweep, and twinkle-toed footwork which allowed him to get inside the line and smash straight hits. Unlike many of his recent innings, he didn't hold back after reaching his fifty – his second half-century came in just 43 balls, and was probably indicative of the fact that he had read the pitch as one on which no total would be safe. He was proved right.

A final word about the crowd. It was an outstanding match, but most of the Pakistani moments – including the winning hit – were greeted with absolute silence, or at best stray claps. What grated the most was the loud chants of "Ganguly hai hai" when the teams were walking back after the match, at a time when Inzamam should have got a standing ovation for guiding his team as expertly as he did; instead, all he got was calls of "Aloo, aloo". The result might not be to the crowd's liking, but it sets up the series magnificently for the two final games at Kanpur and Delhi.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

Crowd was chanting “aaloo aaaloo” when Inzi was batting in 4th ODI. They got slapped in the face when he hit the last ball for a 4 :k:

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

forget it…they have no respect for anyone…cheap people…its really disgusting…

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

very cheap people…they have no respect for anyone…did we shout at dravid when he dragged his team to a win in lahore last year in the 4th one day match…we were actually clapping for them…

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

THe more hostile the Indian crowd, the better. They are helping Pakistan disgrace India.

Re: Indian Crowd Behaviour & Responces

The crowd is just crazy. Check out what Amit Varma of Cricinfo said:

“But he (Ganguly) was run out in the next over, a decision made by the third umpire. The players huddled together after the appeal, waiting for the decision, and a buzz went through the crowd. Then suddenly they cheered madly, this home crowd, because their captain had been given out.” :rotfl:
