Shame on Indian team supporters

Re: Shame on Indian team supporters

@Southie

You misunderstood. I stated conservative politician had brought up this topic in 70s. That SOUTH ASIANS were booing or rooting against England. Nothing new here is what I am saying.

I am stating booing within limits should not be over analyzed. Part of the game. Also one should not extrapolate based on one data point - Moeen Ali booing.

I got what you said abt owais and sajjid. And was also agreeing with your plausible explanation re indian fans gelding humiliated. Hence booing Moeen more severely than normal.

Also you can’t deny that this series was marred by Anderson Jadeja ugly episode. A respected member here had “predicted” bcci with all its powers would get the desired outcome. Whereas I knew that the power balance is still tilted westward in cricket. So there was more than usual bad blood this time.

I get disappointed when everything is viewed from India pakistan or hindu muslim angle. Read my link. It will be clear it is more of a south Asian issue. Regardless of whether booing is ok or not.

My point here is - don’t make this an india or a booing a muslim issue. I am not debating if such booing is ok. IMO it’s ok. But that is just my opinion.

fair enough…in my books ethnic booing is absolutely not acceptable no matter how big or small.

i never saw it as an hindu muslim issue and yes you recognized it…that is why i categorically discussed owais and sajid issue to prove that indians never booed those pakistani origin British players…so there has to be more to moeen issue and i put some light on it.

jury is out on Pakistani fans until an indian origin british batsman say ravi bopara thrashes star Pakistani bowlers to no limit and we will then see how Pakistani fans react

till then…ciao
