True, but for most people that doesn't outweigh the rest.
It's mostly the "don't give a ****" vibe near the end of Test series which grates the most.

I don't hate India FWIW.
Much more likeable without Harbhajan Singh, though probably not as good.

MS? Was pathetic in the tests.
Gambhir got out by being outclassed, but not being a dick. Had a good ODI series as well.
Kohli and Gambhir were the gutsiest this tour, and no surprise why they are the potential captains of the future.

I don't mind people hating the BCCI, or India's stance on UDRS, or even specific Indian players. But they showed excellent sportsmanship in those two incidents, which is more important than most other things in cricket.
In fact, many Indian supporters (including myself) wanted Bell and Thirimanne not to be called back. Especially when the reaction from Jayawardene and the Lankan team is to actually criticise India for even appealing, which is ridiculous.

I like how Shri is excluded from the fans.

Well played SL. Deserve to go to the finals.
Also lol @ people who think because India didn't make the final we will make some hard decisions and whatnot. Truth is the BCCI and the selectors will have made the same decisions had we entered and won the final as they will after not making the final.

This is such load of bull****, and coming from you it's quite surprising! No one was supporting india in the world cup an year ago. And let's not even talk about conduct.

tbh I would rather have Aravinda extra lite version than Tharanga in the XI.

Should've known better than to rely on Australia. Hope SL bruise and batter them up, like they have been.

Yeah; at least Krapu doesn't have to open the batting. Tharanga is the better of the two but the team is worse for his presence.

Glad it ended on a win at least rather than losing the final.

At least now the whining will be back where it belongs - at one of the international airports.

Nah, truth is, people haven't been supporting India because they've recently begun turning into the America of cricket. Nearly everything in cricket news seems to be Indian dominated, every cricket video on youtube has some Indian knob commentating on it, then the whole Sachin-mania. This by itself wasn't too bad, but then you combine that with the fact that they somehow became no 1 in tests despite having a non-existent bowling attack. Add the IPL, which to many is kinda anti-cricket, and then that period for about a year having to listen to Shastri and Gavaskar commentating during every Indian game. So, to a lot of people, their cricket has been unlikeable.
Thats the truth dude. Its not racism or anything like that. People don't hate Indians. But recently they do dislike Indian cricket. And its fun to root against them.
Don't worry, things will probably change soon enough. Shastri and Gavaskar seem slightly more humble than before, which to me makes it 10x easier to support your team.
