What's the point of "home advantage" if our own guys have to cop obnoxious abuse? What are your thoughts?

Well for a professional who gets paid a decent wage and has a simple task of put hand to ball and hold on for 10 secounds its a simple task . He has caught so many in his life time that he could catch the ball blind folded, with one hand tied to his back. My Grandmother in a wheel chair could have caught it without her glasses. So he got what he deserved.

Happens in BD too. When the team loses badly fans turn on the home team. Indian players have had their homes attacked as have BD players. Im sure similar has happened to Pak as well.

When has Waller ever made a catch. He never seems to go more than 10 overs without spilling a simple catch. He doesn't score runs with the bat, he is a chucker with the ball, and he can't field - why is he in the team? Quotas, thats why!

But folks, its not just the Waller incident, as bayhaus writes in the thread, they seem to dish out this vulgar abuse to everyone, and apparently are in good books of ZC, so no action taken. Our own guys getting abused "during the match" as opposed tto post match disappointment are two different things. Yes, there have been incidents of bottles being thrown into the ground as protest when the home team did not do well in India, Pak and SL, but verbal and racial abuse of your own players during the match?

He wouldn't have made a complaint unless there was a racial slur.
