Another Disgraceful show by the Mumbai Crowd
Dunno whats been wrong with the mumbai crowd over the last few years , 1st there was the case of sachin being booed against england in 2004 and now during this IPL their behaviour has been disgraceful.They gave another disgraceful performance which prompted this comment from yuvraj
"I want to tell the crowd that the crowd support was too one sided towards Mumbai. Let me remind them that some of the Punjab players also play for India."
They had given another example of their poor behaviour when they booed SRK and Dada last friday and were cheering jayasuriya and pollock , i agree this is an inter city tournament but booing ur fellow countrymen and cheering foreigners is the height of stupidity.Its high time the BCCI take notice of this , it will be better if mumbai is banned from hosting any cricket matches for 2 or 3 years till they a learn a lesson or two about patriotism.I always thought that a city which has produced some of indias greatest cricketers like tendulkar , gavaskar , vengsarkar and so on will have one of indias best behaved crowd , sadly this ipl has shown the dark side of the mumbai crowds .The poor behaviour of the mumbai crowd has been one of the biggest disappointments of this IPL.

We are passionate home supporters and we support only our home team even if you have the best Indian player is the opposition. We will continue that. Why does the BCCI have home and away matches in IPL, if you don't want the home team to be cheered?
Yuvraj is not used to this behavior and thats the reason he wasn't quite happy and commented about the crowd forgetting the fact that the semis and finals are going to be held in Mumbai itself. On the contrary, Dhoni, whe had the same fate as Yuvraj, was quite supportive of the crowd when he said" They are going to support the home team but it doesnt matter, when I sport the blue jersey, i know theyll support me". This shoes Dhoni as a real sportsman and thats what sportsman spirit is all about. Remember, the crowd arent the sportsmen that day, so you can't always ask for a sportive behavior from the crowd, but at least the players should show that.
