this is nothing new. Guyanese east indian slaves supported india sending Richards into a frenzy so much so that the next east indian in west indies team wasnt unti 1994 with the great shivnarine chanderpaul.

a bit of a stretch here : Guyana and Trinidad Indos got a bad rap.
I recall my dad telling the story of Haniff Mohamed being at our Mosque :
And showed the curious guys the seam imprint and black an blue marks on his rib cage!
They advised him to keep a straight bat and consider going back and across :
and sap it with Limacol :-[

It is only the Aussies so that is ok with me...lol
On a serious note you cannot condone taht sort of behaviour, whoever it is from.
No International team is unsoiled in this respect, completely.

Bloody poms I effin swear lol
But yeah. That said despite such extreme incidents, I've noticed that Indian crowds generally show so such disgraceful behavior more frequently. Say, if India is losing they just walk off for eg. - that to this, booing and whatnot. I get that they're passionate about cricket but they really need to get their shit together.

Krish,
Being nothing new does not make it right.
Kylester,
They can walk out if they are unhappy and that to some extent is honourable to walk away instead of making a fool of themselves.
Guess what the reactions would be if the ECB decided to limit ticket numbers at the next fixtute, whenever that is?

I ma an Indian, but I don;t understand why they were booing Ali that day. What is wrong with the crowd these days?

I reckon it has got to do something with him being a Pakistani.There was no reason apart from this.The crowd these days wants to make the match more interesting probably.it is legal to boo a player right..??.I don't see it as an offence.

India should leave their ill feelings about Pakistan : in Asia:
Do NOT export it overseas.
It shows a lack of class and character of the Indian Hindu.

Moeen Ali was booed when he came out to bat. He was booed when he came on to bowl. He was booed most times he touched the ball. And he was booed either because he is a player of Asian origin playing for England - Ravi Bopara also attracted some boos, though far fewer - because he is Muslim or, perhaps most pertinently, because he is of Pakistani origin and the vast majority of the crowd were India supporters.

That's happening in most sports throughout the world, people boo for racist reasons and this is inconceivable in the 21st century. I wish something could be done about it, but what?
