World Cup 2011 (hosts)

[YOTC]

I' Remember reading the Book which Freddi says "The aussie Fans drank themselves silly and looked for a target to abuse. Murli was Fielding down at third man and chopping loads of stick from the crowd, so I told Graeme Smith I'd swap with him and go down the there instead. It was a big mistake on my part! All the happened was I got a load of stick instead- I won't be volunteering to feild out when England play in Sydney next winter, thats for sure..." and don't forget how bad the Aussie crowd are mate, of what they did in World XI Super Series last year. :


Book is "Being Freddie" My story so far (copyright that book)

Wow harmless name calling, how feral.

Not like we have riots, police and journos in brawls, bomb threats to opposition teams, and crowds having to be held behind giant fences because they are so bad.

Australian and NZ facilities are far more superior, it was our turn, Asia had it in 1996...and u dont get crowd violence and riots in this part of the world!

what a load of bull.

Your turn? There is no system for taking turns.

but I'm going to be 23 next time we host it

Think how I feel, I'll be almost 40 the next time England host the world cup.

For me it isn't a big deal where it will be taken place, since I'll be sitting right behind my computer, wherever it will be taken place.

But for the Asian people who can watch a World Cup match this is good news for them.

Most, if not all, of the countries that don't recognise Israel are predominately Muslim countries.

Actually it is all, IIRC. Pakistan is willing to recognize them as a state under certain conditions.

Anyhoo, I actually wanted to see Australia and NZL host it this time around. It'd have brought back some great memories.

Oh please, want to know the real story. I was at the ground where it first started, the WACA, it was all started by Expat Saffers who obviously had a grudge, what Australian would know words like Kaffir and Kaffir-botha?

Anyways the newspapers reported this because of Whingey Smiths little Whinge and they printed the racist comments, the rest of Australia knew this got under the Saffers skin and started to follow suit just to stir them up.

What the rest of the world knows is completely false, no Australian would know racist calls in Afrikaan (sp?), we only learnt them when the stupid media decided to print them.

And to even suggest remotely that racism doesn't happen in Asia is also a complete joke.

Well, that response will do a lot to improve Asia's image. (@ Gaurav)

Anyways, if I remember correctly, the ICC report on the racial abuse in Australia concluded that the abuses were coordinated and pre-meditated.

P.S. If you're going to accuse Asian crowds of racism, please add any official reports which affirm the accusation.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/australia/4830538.stm

From the ICC report:

"It would be wrong to attribute racial abuse to South African expatriates living in Australia or explain it away as being the result of drunken behaviour."

If we're going to make any accusations, critical generalizations, etc. of a particular crowd, let's do it within the realm of actual validated evidence. Otherwise, the thread will quickly descend into a series of baseless name calling.

Luke "Sparrow" has some interesting stories from Asia. Like the time he was in India he had to fight off a group of Indians because they tried to take down his Aussie flag he was flying in their stadium. He has alot more like this.

Sparrow is the Aussie bloke who follows Australia around everywhere.

From your BBC report.
"In his report, he concluded: "It was premeditated, co-ordinated and calculated to get after the players. It is a serious matter.""

I can tell you from personal experience, it was the expat saffers who started it, and the aussies followed suit to get after the South African players.

I'm not saying there isn't the odd drunken yobbo who doesn't yell something racist in Australia, it does happen, but it is never to the extent of the attacks aimed at the South African players. Don't blame us though, we only wanted to get up the Saffers skins.
