If you’re as avid a cricket fan as I am, you will doubtless have admired Australian cricket. Their cricketers can absolutely sleep-walk into any international XI. Their individual talents are breathtaking and as a collective whole, they are lethal as the cricketing fraternity has discovered. These admirable qualities however end on the field and pertain to the team alone.
Aussie fans are absolutely boorish and horribly racist, as the South African team found on their recent tour to Australia, where they were greeted with incessant chants of ‘kaffir’ - the South African term for ‘coloured people’. They didn’t stop at that and as expected targeted Monty Panesar - the first Sikh to play for England calling him a stupid Indian who cannot speak English. Refer http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ausveng/content/current/story/267740.html for more details. I may not be far off the mark, when I say that the Aussies are losing fans rapidly and deservedly too.
