He would have heard groups of England fans making racist comments, throwing beer and generally being aggressive towards a large number of Indian fans. The result was a punch-up. The irony was that the majority of both sets of fans were born in England. But we were not made to feel welcome as supporters of the land of our birth.

It is a day out for the entire family. Watching cricket the subcontinent way is uplifting and inspiring. The English way is pretty dull. The antithesis to this are the cricket lager louts who get blind drunk and abusive, behave like morons, and sing only one song, about the Barmy Army. It is not just Hussain's cricket kit that is whiter than white.
