IT'S NOT CRICKET

IT'S NOT CRICKET 

We have to be more civilised in the stands in foreign countries and not come on to the pitch to congratulate the centurions and, so, heckle them and disturb their concentration. This problem has been taken care of in India by raising the fencing in cricket fields but in foreign countries the fences are low for easy violation. This is not only a problem of subcontinental spectators doing so but West Indian spectators as well who can be quite unruly in adulation or in offence when upset.
