Moeen abuse shows cricket's dark side

I am surprised at the lack of depth in this forum as predominantly black people you have failed to comment.

That includes you MAPPIPPEE!

Porter said he should see it as "positive" and a player would

"rather be booed than ignored".

Ketchim,

I find your comments in purely bad taste as the boos and hisses was because of Moeens belief and the fact he is Muslim and of a Pakistani origins.

Indians do feel superior to Pakastanis although they are the same stock.

You and others who are against racism should be up in arms.

Do you find this acceptable?

It is not to me.

Moeen was chastised because, as a non White, he was playing for England against an Asian nation and he is Muslim, different from them.

How Primative are the Indians screwed up with that cast system and racist attitudes?

Mooen was chastised as a Muslim as the Indian supporters are predominantly Hindus.

This nasty crap they should keep in India.

Do you know it is only the Whites who defended Moeen and his family?

Nasser was lockjawed.

Even here if I say NIGGER....Krish will do his *********

I have no aspirations to say that word but, it is a point I am trying to make.

I am ashamed of all of you for not speaking out.

You are more concerned that Shiv was crap on day 2 with a crap SR of 29.

Even he would be sitting alone now thinking the end is coming...

I though strongly condemn this booing and it alleged racism,i ponder to why the authorities didn't take any action when jadeja was booed by the English crowds.Does it not tantamount to racism...?
why is there a blame on Indian crowds now..?
Were those English crowds let scot-free..??

This is pathetic. I'm thinking largely more motivated by the Moeen-being-Pakistani aspect than anything. Because you don't see the same happening with Amla for eg.

Either way Indian fans not exactly known for their manners. Not generalizing but this is not the first instance this has happened.

bala,

Thinking cap on please.

The booing by the crowd in teh Jadega case was because of his altercation with Anderson so how is that racist.

The Indian crowds are condemned now because their abuse was blatant as they booed Moeen and Ravi, to a far lesser extent, because of their idiotic India Pakistan divide and that is victimisation for who Moeen is so you come to your conclusion.

There is no comparison with Jadeja as he and Anderson were booed.

Moeen is English of Pakistani heritage and that is important to understand.

The historic connection with the Subcontinet and Britain precludes the Amla or Khawaja scenario. Besides Amla is far too good to be taunted.

The Indians need to understand there is a level of behaviour and they have grossly overstepped the mark and I do not want this crap in my country.

I cannot say definitively, but I would say the majority of those Indian supporters were born and bred here and they have the right to support who they want but it is a shame it is not England. That aside we do not want their or anyones racism.

Little the ECB could do then but I would advise limiting ticket sales to around 25% next time around. I do not really see this terrible behaviour from the Pakistani supporters.

We should expose this issue more and stamp it out completely.

Moeen was the epitomy of grace, he just got on with it.

Indians are getting out of control.

I know we take over Barbados when we have  a test there but we do not go about abusing our hosts.

Sorry mate ... much ado about nothing.Booing someone and racism aint the same thing.
Racism is what black players faces in the European football leagues

Kwams,

That is disappointing.

Everytime Moeen gets on the balls, he is booed and that is ok?

Why were the Indians booing Moeen and why do you think it is ok?

If a predominantly white crowd was doing it, what would it be?

I agree Black players in places like Russia and Poland do get the toughest of time by being booed everytime they are on the ball. They also get some extras but I and many in this country do not see any difference at all. One form of prejudice is neither better nor more acceptable than another, is it?

Why would an Indian crowd victimise Moeen in this way? Are they being affectionate?

It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere.

Bro , seriously : You have a comprehension problem.

I suggest you take a break and catch your breath  :
