Wasn't there some match in 1970s in England when Boycott got out of the last ball of the match only to be pushed around by a group of aggressive fans when he walked off the ground. As hostile as it gets.
Another incident, John Snow had a tussle with the fans near the boundary in the 1970-71 ashes.
Yet another one, Mumbai fans who booed off Tendulkar in 2006 when he was going through a major low.

Steve Waugh I think got his bat stolen during a match at Bourda in the late 90s-early 00s

Only because the word banter has been appropriated to mean dickhead behaviour by people who aren't actually funny though.
Oh wow, I have never liked a post more than this one. This is so spot on.

ODI at Carisbrook when Brett Lee sconed Adam Parore with a bouncer and the helmet fell on to his stumps. Parore was given out hit wicket when it should've been a no ball - the crowd went nuts.

I've heard of NZ crowds in the seventies being very nasty.

That would have been around the time the aussie crowds used to chant "Hadlee is a wanker".
Cant blame them for that.

Think the Hadlee thing was (late?) eighties (from what I remember of a book of his). Of course, New Zealand crowds might have had amazing clairvoyant powers.

So in the seventies the NZ crowd were nasty and in the eighties (1980) the aussies started chanting "Hadlee is a wanker" I mentioned 1980 because I was at the match. Cant blame them for that.

I think I got it the wrong way round: say what you're saying is the Aussies reacted to NZer's?

No I'm just saying it was around the same time. We will never know and everyone will have a different opinion and my opinion whatever it is is wrong.
Yes the Pakistan fans when we played them anywhere in the north west were very lively. Then police intercepted a plan by the far right or combat 18 who had bought hundreds of tickets for a game at headingly. There would have been huge trouble that game if they wasn't stopped from attending. It must have been around 2005 ish, there were numerous race riots at the time in places like Oldham Rochdale Bradford between the white and Pakistani communities

So there was a ACC tournament in Nepal where one of my ex teammates who was.. well proportioned, was heckled by a ~500 strong crowd. They kept chanting Buffalo, Buffalo at him. It was an U15 tournament ffs and the adults were bullying the poor kid. They're a real special breed, many of these Nepali fans. Don't think they've changed at all going by how they behave on social media.
Was much worse at their old stadium.
