    England, Finals and the "C" word

    Nasser is half white. Very different. Also he is not from the regions that the majority of UK Brit Indians are from.

    No it doesn't. You cannot switch of your feelings.

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    Yeah you know what I meant. British Indian-99% will support India. Or British Asian (India, Pak, Bang)-99% will support their home country. Touche on the choice of home.

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    Nice try, but there was no "threat." In fact, a patient abusing staff is not looked to kindly upon, then again, your mouth would be zipped then wouldn't it? Only on the web.

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    Mr Centurymaker, as previously mentioned, you are from NZ. You have absolutely no idea how it works over here and are simply making assumptions. See my previous post. I was talking about all the British Asians born here obviously, like me. Yet you are blabbering on about him growing up in...

    I'll bear that in mind when you are wheeled in with an acute emergency haha.

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    In my life throughout childhood, school, university and now working in healthcare this has been the overwhelming opinion. A guy from NZ is no position otherwise to reflect on the position of British Asians. If you think it was just "me and my tearaway friends" booing at the ground for it to be...

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    Hey mate, this is just me, not sure if other British Indians would feel the same. I mean they booed Bopara (unfairly) yet I believe they themselves may represent England. Yes I am seriously saying that. There is a great deal of honour and prestige when playing international cricket. My heroes...

    Bradman- status as the greatest batsman ever under threat?

    Actually I have been watching since 97. Doesn't matter what Bradman averaged in that era tbh. What would he average now? Certainly half that, maybe even less.

    Shunning his roots, aka coconut. I guess that is what the booing is for.

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    I am talking about British Asians/Indians not NZ lol. Any one who has grown up here or indeed been to any game, will know the majority of British Indians support India over England. So if you think Ravi Bopara was somehow different growing up then you don't know much about the culture. The...

    Bradman- status as the greatest batsman ever under threat?

    Look how many games he has played spanning how many years. He has an excellent record everywhere pretty much. That is despite having a weak team in the 90's and little practise of overseas pitches. He was averaging close to 60 and now he is decline for sure due to waning powers. A lot of other...

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    It's a difficult one. A lot of people I spoke to said by playing for England he is shunning India. But realistically could he play for India? No. Does he support India? Probably did and still does. I guess his own circumstances led him to play for England. Some Indian fans were saying he...

    Bradman- status as the greatest batsman ever under threat?

    I can actually. If mystery bowlers persist in this era to a smaller extent, how would things have been then? Nope. Doesn't account whatsoever for the pitches now. Wrong again. Can't say for certainty. Tendulkar has faced some all time greats in the 90's on challenging pitches. Nope, it was...

    Bradman- status as the greatest batsman ever under threat?

    It's no big secret because he didn't face supremely talented bowlers that have appeared after the game became professional. Nor did he face mystery bowlers or bat on all surfaces. He mainly played against one country too, that also when the sport was very much in it's infancy. He was never...

    England, Finals and the "C" word

    I was at the game. Actually at the start when all the player names were read out, every England player was booed except Bopara. But during the match Bopara was called a traitor and booed. People are entitled to support who they want, end off. It's a complex culture. India not being good at any...

    Bradman- status as the greatest batsman ever under threat?

    Tendulkar is the greatest batsmen of all time. In Bradman's era there was no video analysis technology, the umpiring was poor, the sport was not professional. Therefore he faced little challenge. In fact in this era his average would be below 60 for sure. Who knows he may have been "found out"...

    Surreal atmosphere in the final!

    I was at this game-such a great atmosphere despite the rain. It felt like a home game for us :ph34r: It was nice going with Indian and English supporters together. I think England exceeded all expectations by getting to the final-the rain, pitch and their easy group definitely helped. India...

    *Official* - Final - India v Sri Lanka

    Ouch that cut deep. I mean India only won the world cup in the end didn't they :happy: Shame you can't come to a medic's party, lots of heavy drinking, might help you drown your sorrows :laugh:

    Dhoni is a superstar. Haters can suck it
