because they are now Citizens of England and as such , should have some :

loyalty and support to England's Cricketers !

cheers instead of boos : when playing against India...

Samjay ?

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.

mail,
other than booing what did the fans do to moeen

Krish,


It was incessant booing and illegible chanting.


And yes Vivian made a racist move.

Moeen is English of Pakistani heritage and that is important to understand.

The historic connection with the Subcontinet and Britain precludes the Amla or Khawaja scenario. Besides Amla is far too good to be taunted.

The Indians need to understand there is a level of behaviour and they have grossly overstepped the mark and I do not want this crap in my country.

I cannot say definitively, but I would say the majority of those Indian supporters were born and bred here and they have the right to support who they want but it is a shame it is not England. That aside we do not want their or anyones racism.

Little the ECB could do then but I would advise limiting ticket sales to around 25% next time around. I do not really see this terrible behaviour from the Pakistani supporters.

We should expose this issue more and stamp it out completely.

Moeen was the epitomy of grace, he just got on with it.

Indians are getting out of control.

I know we take over Barbados when we have  a test there but we do not go about abusing our hosts.

Well of course there's the element of Pakistan hatred in that. But IDK how much subcontinent-Britain hatred is in this though, I think it's mostly Pakistani hatred. Because Bopara didn't get proportionately terrible booing.

And yeah Indian spectators have been shitty before, won't question that.

Speaking of Pakistani crowds though:

This is really disgraceful. Such sort of racist behavior should not be allowed. Cricket is known to be gentleman's game and the authority should try to keep it that way.

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

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.

Ignorance which has to be corrected.

I suspect the booing is steeped in the the historic partition where the rivalry between the two have become quite divisive.

The Indians have become far too arrogant and teh ECB has to address it in this Country, at least.

Difficult to regulate ticket sales bt support group but it is done in Football.
