Indian team and fans are very considerate....
by JM on Oct 20, 2007 10:41 AM

One has to remember what is now happening with Ind-Aus teams does not even happen with Ind-Pak teams!

They even applaud good innings by Pak and every other player in every other team including Windies whose team consists of mostly dark skinned people.

Why? Because Paki cricketers (and cricketers from most other countries) are respectful and Indian team and Indian fans give back that respect.

Ponting-Gilcrist-Symonds come here and give statements against Tendulkar-Dravid-Sourav that their presence will help Aus team win, they taunt Dhoni and challenge him to come in to bat earlier in the order, opine that Murali Karthik should have walked after nicking the delivery to keeper in the 7th ODI, mock on our 20-20 win celebrations, swear at Pathan/Harbajan when they score boundaries, make fun of Harbajan's religion (turban) etc etc.

When people give it back to them what do they do? They play the RACE card and run crying to ICC/CA/BCCI....wah re wah!!!
