Indians to invade Sydney

SYDNEY. — India fans are likely to outnumber their Australian counterparts when the two teams clash in the Cricket World Cup semi-final in Sydney on Thursday — much to the annoyance of the home captain. Australia skipper Michael Clarke and team-mate David Warner sent out identical tweets, saying: “I call on all Australian cricket lovers to paint the SCG gold on Thursday. We need your support. #goldout” The hashtag, referring to the Australian team colours, has ironically caught the fancy of more Indian Twitter users than Australian. Organisers believe that 70 percent of tickets at the sold-out 42 000-capacity Sydney Cricket Ground have been bought by India fans. — AFP.
