Sri Lanka Cricket Fans
Sri Lanka Cricket team won the World Cup of 1996, rather gifted to them, curtsey match referee Clive Lloyd calling their semifinal game against India 'complete' before the schedule close after 50 overs of cricket.
Apart from that they have won nothing and in fact have been quite dismal, both with performance and behavior on field, in years after the win in ICC world cup.
Sri Lankan fans are quite ill mannered. They can't digest the success of other cricket teams like India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand which are the only consistently performing teams in ICC cricket tournaments.
The abuse coming from Sri lankan Cricket community can be seen of websites like 'cricinfo.com' where they continuously use words which are otherwise restrictive on other websites. They are full of abuse and hatred against Indian cricket team.
There is a reason for such behavior of Sri Lankan cricket fans. Over the past few years the Indian cricket team has continuously defeated Sri Lanka both at home and away. More importantly India completely outplayed Sri Lanka in 2011 world cup finals to win it for the second time in the history of cricket. Sri Lankan fans couldn't digest it and the got such a jolt in their bodies that they keep making senseless comments against India. In particular they blame that India was involved in 'match fixing' and thereby proving again and again that they are sore looser's.
But if you have seen how a cloth-less man reacts when on occasions he gets a piece of cloth to cover his body you can understand what happens when once in a blue moon Sri Lanka manages to win a cricket match against India. The highlight again are abusive comments on cricinfo when it happens.
Fact is SriLanka cricket team cannot defeat India even in their wildest of dreams. Every good team has a bad day, and it happens with India as well. So when India under-performs against Sri Lanka in cricket on some unlucky day the wilder then wildest dream of Sri Lankan cricket fans come true. And they loose their senses, it seems. Although one might ask when were they really sensible?
Sri Lanka Cricket got test status in 1981 and that is where ICC (International Cricket Council) made a huge mistake. Sri Lanka failed to perform at highest level of cricket and many times their players brought gentlemen's game i.e cricket to disrepute Cricket has suffered because of Sri Lanka.
Although Shane Warne is easily the greatest spin bowler the game of cricket has even seen but stats says that it is Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan who took 800 test wicket compared to 708 of Australia's Shane Warne. But we all know which was spinner among the two and which was not.
After than there have many funny Sri Lankan bowlers with unusual bowling actions like 'Lasith Malinga', 'Ajantha Mendis', and worst of them the current captain of Sri Lanka cricket team 'Angelo Mathews'.
Kumar Sangakkara is well known for not walking even if he has given a straight catch to the fielder and Mahela Jayawardene is a world renowned flat track bully batsmen the cricket has known in its history.
Just like their are voices raising for ban on Sri Lanka cricket in ICC, one hopes there is some sort of punishment or controlling measures being adopted to control the Sri Lankan Cricket fans for abusing other, throwing stones, and breaking stadium chairs. They also once got attacked in pakistan because of their bad behavior.
Apart from that they have won nothing and in fact have been quite dismal, both with performance and behavior on field, in years after the win in ICC world cup.
