Had been to Wankhede stadium, Mumbai for the 3rd day of the 3rd test match between India and England - for the first time (breaking a jinx of earlier 3 cancellations before this one)... a freakin crazy experience!!
The scene of the match: India's first innings were on, and got off, as in - All out for 279. England was leading by 121 in the first innings, already. The second innings, England lost two wickets (could have been 4 - alas!) by end of day's play.
The scene of the stadium: The famous/infamous NORTH stand - probably the noisiest and loudest and craziest and merciless-est crowd in the entire cricketing world !!
They (including yours truly) can and will take the case of anybody - be it an Indian player or English player or any goddam player or no player... and absolutely merciless.
The noise - Synchronised "cheering", "booing", "jeering", "mud-slinging" etc etc etc - can be heard even a half a mile from the stadium and needless to say - even on the television coverage of the match.
It is not possible quantify the energy, enthusiasm, interest, love-of-game of these guys in words - trust me!
The least-est possible is - Man, they rock!!
No response to “Wank-hey-day...”
