Yeah but I don't know what kind of excuse that is anyway. Pathetic if we outnumber the Aussie no matter what... Fill up yer own grounds dammit.

It is their ground too (referring to Aussie born Indian fans). They just choose to support the other team (like me obv).

The Aussie cricket team has not been able to obtain the same support of Australian born peeps with Indian heritage like NZ has. Probably because of the bad blood between the teams, and also because many of the under 30 Aussie borns grew up in the Sachin generation and wanted to support India because of him. If they buy tickets and choose to support India its not a fault of Australian cricket fans.

How did you come up with this, are there any hard statistics or is it just a wild guess.

See pages 45 - 46 of the Australian Cricket Bureau of Statistics 2015 report on fan heritage.



nah obviously anecdotal and based on my experiences and talking to peeps like me. Put it this way, I've travelled to Eng and NZ to watch India play, and I've seen ****loads of Indian cricket matches in Aust and NZ stood out to me the most of having support among Indian fans compared to Eng and Aus.

There's no way they should so heavily outnumber Australian born Aussie is my point.

To be fair it is a working day so no surprise if the Aus support is outnumbered, regardless of the fact people over here are the most filthy of casuals and bandwagoners in the entire globe.

For some reason, I and my Indian colleagues here in Japan are not that excited as much for this match as the NZ-SA match but the excitement is slowly building up. Come match day tomorrow, think it will.

I like this sentence and agree. I don't think I have ever seen a game like it.
