We Indian are globally famous on our hospitality. But whatever happened at Baroda & Mumbai is left a black spot on our Country in terms of hospitality. The crowd should have shown more decency to the visitors. No matter how bad they are but we are Indians and we should never ever insult to those who had come to our home.

One should treat the game as a game and not as a war.

Australia won in 1999, 2003 and 2007. Thta is not a fluke. They are the number one team on ODIs and Tests. I hate it when we Indians can't admit defeat.

No body is denying they are a great team! All i say is that if they are asked to behave and shut up on the field, see their performance then! They win more by taunting a guy on field than with their abilities! This has been their attitude since they picked up a bat to play -well what else to expect from a continent of convicts?

Who said Indians don't admit it. Aren't U an indian? Didn't u admit it. Calling sombebody's bluff doesn't mean their qualities are not recognised.

hey geoff, it seems to me that you are must be most foolest person on earth. what do you think about yourself, you are foreteller. why don't keep your mouth shut and watch the actions today evening. whatever happens, whomsoever wins that doesn't make any difference, we'll see the fantastic match between both the teams. be a man and accept the truth buddy. why don't you left this abusing words on the field. even our teams are behaving like a good friends to eachother, why we shouldn't. come on bro forget this rubbish discussion.
Ricky baba is a clever boy, he knows media and fans at home know that though they won the series 4-2, it was not a very convincing victory for the self acclaimed supreme aussie team! So what you do, rake up non issue! This time you cannot complain hot curry food, coz every one in the world and australians too are raving and crazy for indian curries! You cant complain about hotels coz the hotel standards are also up with more than 10 of the worlds best hotels in India! You cannot complain about umpiring with third umpires / close tv replays etc reducing the margin of errors! So what you do? Rake up an issue of Racial abuse and divert the attention from the actual failure of the great aussie team to win 7-0!. Ponting knows from the bottom of his heart, the series was closely fought one, except for the match at vadodara, and the other two lost matches were also close with victory being by 40 and 18 runs! So Ricky baba must be creative and also to camouflage their own misdemeanour on the field, cry foul and rant about crowd behaviour and racial abuse! None of the experts sitting on the TV or the media ever wondered why such a thing happened in India, and that too against Symonds? Coz people were fed up with ICC or the match referee ever taking action against any of the aussie team members for the heaps of insults and bad language showered upon the indian team! In the match at nagpur, Symonds deliberately needled irfan pathan when he was going great guns and ganguly had to interve
