I was watching the match at from the North stand of the stadium. When Brett Lee was feilding on the fence, the crowd was chanting "Brett Lee is a Bas...d".He just turned around and happened to look at me for a while. I was ashamed and had to put my head down with shame.In other countries kids would have been seeking autographs. Using abusive language doesnot make India a better Team. I am of the opinion that such acts only misguide the illiterate, embarases the women present, and opens unwanted debates.

The main problem is that the media has fueled this situation. What the Aussies do is pass coments while the opposition is playing. The Indians think that by displaying boorish behavior by physical acts rather than oral comments is the appropriate response. As a result with the media adding fuel to the fire we have a situation which has gone out of control.

well said ... Even i was sitting in the same stand...and i heard aaa ooo aaa ooo aussies are bas...td I was so myuch ashamed to be among those people.. we have come there to watch some sports and have some fun ...not to insult players of any nation...
They didnt stop with this... even when dada was fielding in the fence.. i heard many shouting " Who is the part time husband of Nagma " ..
Attitude of our people are cheap many a times.. they will rather change or will never accept the post we post here... rather they keep justifying their cheapness and abusing us as well... Shameless !!!

The basics begins at ones own upbringing. We have never been taught to face the world and react with abusive language and attitude. Its in your past thats made you this way. Please get help!!!!!
