consequently the bottles hurling incident took place there. It began with
throwing first bottle and then the spectators keep on enjoying. '" However

question of players’ security, I don’t feel that there was any endangering

bottles into cricket ground. Umpires thought to be in or out of the cricket
ground to be safe. We did not play better and many times we encountered such
reaction. A few first bottles were frenzy thrown later it was revelers act.

“It looked unfair. I played the cricket 5-6 years in India and faced never such
incidents. All you come to play here and the best team wins the match. It is
unfair and it should not have been. I hope it is first and last happening. On
asking what does it come to mind mere in subcontinent? He said, “It is
difficult to say.” The people for their
teams around the world are most sentimental. They cross the limit many times,
which should not be happen It is the first time in India —I saw; I cannot say
this happen mostly. The people are frenzy in play but the players have never
desire of such happening.
