I have been immensely enjoying the Foxtel cricket coverage of the India Vs Australia Test Series from India. (I love Foxtel!)
The Indian crowds are fanatical, they chant, scream and yell all day long with no let up. Good on them, I can only commend those who love cricket! However, during my hours of watching the cricket I have noticed that Indian fans create the absolute worst home made supporter signs I have ever seen.
In Australia, we are accustomed to seeing sheets attached to the front of a stand with something painted on it like...
"AUSTRALIA IS TAYLOR MADE TO DECLARE WAUGH!"
Ok, not the wittiest of calls, but at least it makes sense!
Watching the coverage from India I have seen the most ridiculous supporter signs. I have reproduced one here that really made me laugh. It was a sign about Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan (pictured below) and keep in mind that it was clearly a man holding this sign up. My commentary is in Italics.
P acey (Ok not bad, he is a fast bowler)
A ccurate (fair enough)
T asty (hang on, that's kind of creepy)
H ero (whatever)
A ttractive (I hope you mean his bowling)
N aughty (you weirdo)
