I did not watch any game of cricket WC 2011 so far... yesterday i watched IND ENG highlights....Strauss and Bell were fighting against Indian bowlers and crowd of 40K... crowd didnt applaud for thier boundries ... i accpeted it.. BUT this man Strauss scored a fantastic century and crowd did not bother to applaud for him...
WHAT A SHAME !!!
Cricket is most followed sport in India (unfortunately)... and crowd cant applaud for a century by the opposite team...
this never happens in Lords, Melbourne or J'burg.... they applaud for boundaries by Indians... and they give standing ovation once a player(of any team) completes century...
i din not wanted India to win ICC 2011 WC...and now i got one more reason for it...
Cricket fans in India don't have sportsman spirit ...PERIOD

Don't generalize all the cricketing stadiums in India. The Chennai crowd is one among the most sporting venues in the world.
And for heavens sake, don't get me started on Melbourne. The rowdy crowd over there are as bad in sledging as the aussies that take the field.
