Kiwis, what a bunch of rowdies!

It was all happening at the Wellington cricket ground...alas, it wasn't cricket! Things were being thrown at the aussie fielders in the deep...water bottles, golf balls, eggs and what not...players were being abused and spat on...the ground was in a shabby state...kiwis left no stone unturned to give them a real hard time fielding...the astonishing part was, this was happening when NZ had made a grt comeback to put the aussies on the backfoot...thanks to the outstanding knocks by Hamish Marshall and MacMillan...skipper Ricky Ponting was furious, to say the least...he made Billy Bowden dance around (even more!) to get things in place...and finally, to no surprise, kiwis failed to get the last few runs, playing some uncalled-for shots and handed over the match to OZs! well, hooliganism in sports is not a new thing...people do sometimes get carried away with emotions...but it only corrupts the real spirit of the game!
