Re: Shame on Indian team supporters
uncle jee…aap to naraz ho gayee..
i know that you are one of the most liberal and peace loving Indian posters here…and i hope you also know that i have been labeled as Mr. India many times…right? well actually i have been blatantly abused by some for being Mr. India few years ago!!!
having said that we always need to be introspective because that is the only way you can get to the root of the problem. we can always call it a subcontinental issue but is it really? maybe it is..maybe it is not…lets see
correct me if i am wrong but i dont think that pakistani fans in england booed ravi bopara, ram parakash, nasir hussain or monty when they played against Pakistan…so you are on a weak footing here…
but wait…you can argue how come indian fans never really booed when owais shah and sajid mahmood of pakistani origin played for England against india..and yes owais played 14 ODIs and sajid played 4 ODIs against india ( i did my search!)… so what is going on?
the next logical point would be to gauge the extent of performance…moeen ali deeply embarrassed mighty indian batting line up who is known for its supremacy against spin bowling..moeen (just a part time spinner) not only punctured this bubble but also contributed massively to indian defeats in few test matches…so indian fans may be feeling humiliated by moeen…and therefore showed their negative side.
counter argument could be that owais shah actually performed quite brilliantly against india scoring 1 century and 3 fifties in 13 innings averaging close to 40… he was however never booed by indian fans…
so why moeen? to he honest owais or sajid ali never really embarrassed indian team with their performances but moeen really embarrassed indians… a team who treated a genius spinner shane warne like a part time bowler got trashed by a part time spinner so brutally…
plus he was positioning himself like a role model for young…so composed all the time…and some indian fans just could not take it and it did not help that he was of pakistani origin…sala pakistani…double bai-izzitie and indians fans completely lost it and in the mean process embarrassed themselves even more…
after-all indians did not booed Moeen in beginning when his own performance was poor…and he was nobody for indians…
kiyon uncle jee? kaya khiyal hai… hota hai kaabiee kabiee…
now it will be interesting to see pakistani fans/ reaction if monty destroys pakistani batting lineup…but pakistani batting line up is so crappy that even i can get them out under 50 on a good day!!!
