Kolkata fans pay a heavy price

Kolkata has been host to the worst and the best of Indian cricket writes Suresh Menon on the website dreamcricket.com. And in the latest fiasco to hit the Eden Gardens, once again the larger picture is missed.

The fan asks for nothing more than a good match – and an India-England tie had the potential to be just that in the World Cup – but whether it was the arrogance of the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal or his stupidity that has denied them this, it is not good for either Kolkata or India, or indeed cricket.
