Thats a gud question. I am finding that hard to understand....may be Mr aaaa could throw some light on it...my take is, its Symonds bcoz he did start the whole thing...you see if there is smoke...there is bound to be some fire...and that fire by the way is created by none other than Mr Symonds himself. i dont know when and where...may be he did something to the crowds that made the crowd go wild on him..and one more question...Why in varodra why not matches previous to that..?

try talking to a gujarati. I am not. and what about bombay? you seem to know what goes on in US that is not even reported in the media...:)
Same thing happened in Rajkot 2002 with the windies team.
When i viewed a documentary on the dandhi march i saw some clues. People living within their own communities such as religion, caste etc., And people dont venture into other caste/religion areas.
why the madras crowd applauded both india & pakaistan when the pakistan team won back in 1999?

that is correct. But indian crowd seem to copy what goes on. I dont think just because the soccer crowd is worse it is not a passport for indian crowd in cricket to do the same.

Absolutely correct. asutralians are masters in practicing racism and are hardcore racist. Each and every asian is been troubled in certain provinces. When I say trouble, it means, demolishing shops, killing, injuries etc. becos of this aussy govt has to setup a anti-racism body to tackle such situations.

Why do u always seem to find the fault with the Indian people...is Symonds that well behaved...none of the Aussie are well behaved..
And about the racism in India...I live in UK...and you will be surprised (delighted depends on which side you are) there is a racism going on in between the English, walish, Irish and Scottish. they dont like each other. We are still little backward so it is the way it is in India...what about the developed nations all around the world...they are well educated,very wealthy and still behave like they still live in the ancient world..
So that exists everywhere...in different forms ofcourse. so what the heck. may be when all of India is very well educated and wealthy as the Europeans and Americans, then we might just leap frog over these nations on our way to glory.

You fool here we are not discussing senic beauty, but it is all about the racial dirt that resides in UK and infact in US too. are northeren ireland people in good terms with UK? Not entire UK is green and clean, some provinces are even dirtier than India and same applies to US

Just cos the English don't like the Welsh or the Scots does not mean that there is rampant rascism!! The English and the Irish have always been at loggerheards cos the Englsih have never taken kindly to the roman Catholic church.... The English and the Welsh compete for jobs in working class communities in Hartfordshire, Pudsey etc and hence that resentment.... Where is the issue of rascism Sandeep??
I think you are mixing two things... The Aussies have been badly behaved..true, very true...but the Indians have given it back to Symonds in equal measure...that stays on the ground between the players.... Subjecting Symonds to monkey chants by the crowd is something that we should not be proud of!! It is something that needs to be frowned upon and nipped in the bud cos it may take a more ugly form later on.... Next time, there would be banners and posters showing a monkey like creature with the name of the player written on it....It might just be the start of some ugly caricatures....
Whether Symonds invited these taunts or slurs due to his skin color or due to his appearance aka hairdo is open to conjecture... But what is not open to conjecture is that the behaviour of the crowd at Vadodara was objectionable and downright insulting.... It is the same as when the Nagpur crowd had subjected Vinod Kambli to slurs and an allusion to his skin color by calling him "Kalia".... Very very unfortunate.....
