Spectators at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Indian cricket spectators are boors. Contrast this with the Australian crowd which genuinely applauded Tendulkar's superb effort on the Sydney Cricket Ground on 04/Jan/2008.

It was so good to watch. As soon as Tendulkar took off for those two runs after stroking the ball into extra cover, the entire ground including the Australians stood up as one. These people, if you ask me, are true lovers of the game. Yes, they root for the Australian team and want it to win, but they acknowledge class when they see it; even if it is present in the opposition ranks.
