Cheering the Opposition

[SirBloody Idiot]

Gayle's ton in Perth late last year was actively cheered by most of the crowd. Was awesome to watch, and when he was out in such a soft way it was pretty quiet.

Ha, nah boss. If that was the case of me following the tide, i would have supported AUS in 06/07 Ashes series when they where still in the "invincible" glory era.

I just did it for that one series for reasons i am comfortable with. Otherwise i am 100% neutral in ENG v AUS cricket matches.

Respect goes to you and the Chennai crowd Sir

I was there during Anwar's 194 as well.. The roof fell of that place with the roar when he got past King Viv..


Also, I think the Lahore crowd is pretty special among the crowds in Pakistan.

People who thought Ponting got boo'ed badly last summer should have been at the T20 world cup match day I went to last year that was 90% India fans, and the other match going on had Pakistan in. I've never heard anything like the booing that Afridi came out to in my life. Incredible.

Did you know India's practise ball boxes were found missing that morning?

 

[Sir Alex]

Always loved the SCG crowd. Maybe it's because of SRT getting applauded always.

Thank you Iago.

?

My guess is that it's a parrot reference - ie that you were echoing what he was saying? But that's pretty obscure tstl

Haha, yup - moreorless the exact response I was expecting TBH. Maybe one person to not get it and another to get it and inform them. Reckoned it was obvious enough that someone would before long, though certainly not sufficiently obvious that everyone would.

Even though I am a deeply patriotic Aussie I still admire individual brilliance no matter what nationality a player may be. All true cricket fans should revel in seeing a master of the art ply his trade. Be it a Lara or a Sachin or a Shane Bond, good cricket is good cricket and should be respected as such. KP is a prime example, I think the guy is an absolute dick but he is extremely talented cricketer and I love watching him bat when he is on song. It is just all the sweeter when it is one of your own like a Ponting or Gilchrist.
