India hatred hurts guys

After India, the order changes with recent performances/who is playing who/players etc. Like a West Indian team with Gayle, Pollard, Bravos, Taylor, Roach etc is much higher on the list than the boring teams they are churning out these days.

Usually don't like to see Australia win, they are on the bottom for me. Probably followed by Pakistan just because of the rivalry. Sri Lanka used to be one of my favorite teams but honestly their style of play is pretty boring these days - apart from Malinga every bowler is a medium pace, nagging swing bowler, most batsman are grafters. Love Sanga though.

I like England.

After New Zealand I don't care too much. South Africa might be my second favourite, I love watching quality fast bowlers like Morkel and Steyn. I was stoked that I got my favourite cricketer, Morkel, out in the nets today lol.

India hatred hurts guys

I actually enjoy it more! Makes you feel important. The more hate you have going for you, the more important you are.

Some idiots hate us for our exaggerated emotions that we display. Only if those IDIOTS spent some time understanding the type of people we are and the fact that not everyone in this world can be one and the same..... We diss our players but we still come back to them loyally. They think we back our players when they are doing well and ditch them when they dont. If that was the case, Indian cricket wouldn't be having this kind of following for years now and the following has grown exponentially even during years when India have performed disastrously.

That's pretty much the thought process of a sociopath hehe

In fact, I'm pretty sure Raoul Moat or a psychotic serial killer probably share that belief

Crazy alarm alert. I repeat we have a crazy alert!!!

It's not the fact that you guys are different, Pakistani, Lankan and Bangladesh members are not such arrogant little shits when they win and then go all bi-polar when they lose like so many of you guys, and they are the same sort of culture and social background as you guys. Because of this, everyone rubs it in India's faces when they get beat.

Also you totally contradict yourself in the bolded bit, are you actually bi-polar lol?

Interesting thread. Could cause some controversy

My thinking

1. India
2. New Zealand
3. Sri Lanka
4. Australia
5. England
6. South Africa (Never followed them tbh)
7. Ireland
8. Zimbabwe
9. Bangladesh
10. Pakistan
11. West Indies(would be a bit higher if they had Gayle controversy atleast sorted)

Well be true to your self guys, it could only be India who could chase 322 in less then 40 overs, it could only be India who could start the money minting IPL, it could only be India when it comes to WORLD CUP CRICKET last year, it could only be India for winning the inaugural T20, it could only be INDIA TO smash Broad's Ass for 6 sixes!!!! It could only be India

And yes South Africa could be second in doing all things and then followed by Australia. England.. Little more time required buddy

Oh well guys please see, I have just posted this for normal discussion. Please no abusing

At least in our culture we wont call other culture people shits

I'd say it's interesting to see the Windies slipping down everyone's lists. As a nation they've always attracted a decent support from around the world, but at the moment people seem mostly non-plussed due to their current strifes.

 

[barmyarmy]

It's been ever since Walsh and Ambrose retired. I remember going to several tests in the 2000 series and thinking we've finally beaten the Windies. 12 years on and it wouldn't be special now; just expected.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Yup as I mentioned if they are ready to be transparent with the matter regarding Gayle irrespective of him playing then it would be better. They have all the facility(proper domestic circuit implemented) + coaches + players of the caliber of top 4 teams(Darren Bravo + Kird Edwards + Braithwaite + Bishoo + Edwards + Roach) make a deadly combo on their day but somethings wrong

 

[Manly]

Every Indian post in this thread is the reason I hate the team. Whomever I quoted very early on I apologise, I could have picked any other post since.
