Oh so typical, faced with facts and reason instead of venom, bile and rascist innuendos he?she refuses to answer my posts. I'm sure this troll has never played any decent standard of sport, EVER. Most likely has never travelled either. I'm sure still living at home with Mummy and Daddy as well. Where are you my little lady boy?

Ok my dear much-travelled, multi-lingual, tertiary-educated, sex champion, self-proclaimed racist fellow earth-dweller,
I will rise to your bait and share some of my own humble background... I was born in India in a middle-class family of school teacher parents... Studied hard to reach where I am today with no government dole-outs... Played some cricket at school and Uni... Was chess champion for many years and became a member of Mensa at the age of 16...
I have a PhD in Finance, and work for one of the top i-banks... I too have travelled around the world albeit mostly in business class and not sailing like you... Although I must admit you probably had a more exciting experience (at least it seems like that from your description)... I left home to go to college at 18 and have been on my own since then...
Yes, I am married (no arranged marriage, sorry to disappoint you)... And no, my wife will not committ suttee after I die... By the way, she also has a PhD in Sociology and is a university professor... By religion, I am Hindu and she is Muslim, and we have many friends from other religions, castes, and nationalities...
Now you must wonder, why I respond to trolls like you... Well, I don't know... Maybe I believe in humanity and innate goodness in people... Maybe I hope one day we can all see each other as another human being and not white, brown or black... What do you think?
I strongly suggest you to look beyond undisputed sports achievements of your country... No one is questioning them... All I am saying is learn some humility and don't hide behind the anonymity of Internet to turn into a vicious, malevolent person... You probably are a nice bloke in real life... Why change that just because you can say anything on a forum like this and get away with it?
Sensational!!!!!!!!!! At last, some real facts. It is good to know that I'm dealing with someone who at least has faced trials and tribulations in their life to arrive where they want to be (I hope for your sake). Ajit Agarkar(sic?) had a similiar situation. I respect that; I am well aware of the difficulties faced in a relationship where different cultures/religions collide. I am but the son of fishermen; education/trade skills were expected, not hoped for.
I judge people how they treat me. I don't care for certain cultures/religion. If you live in my country, it is, as they say in the classics, ... when in Rome... .
You can do what you like in your country; laws, customs, tradition and so on. I would not travel to your country and pontificate to you. I expect the same.
I have worked in the USA, Europe and Australia in tourism involving boats, waverunners(jetskis) and food. Have met many people from differing cultures and find that cricket is a binding thread.
Having said all of that, I am a sh.t stirrer at heart (I hope you understand that). I will argue for the sake of it.
As for humility, I'm Australian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We don't understand that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always shaken the oppositions hand after a game, win, lose or draw.
I believe that Australia will one day be mostly Asian (that includes Japan, Korea and China). That, to me is not a bad thing. Democracy and human rights are paramount.
Between my friends (all tertiary educated and well travelled) nothing is sacred, including mothers.
Having said all this, don't expect me to be nice now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or politically correct).
