India outrage over Ganguly axing

The exclusion of cricket star Sourav Ganguly from the national team has provoked a public outcry in India. Fans, politicians, former cricketers and actors have protested against the move and there have been demonstrations in his hometown, Calcutta.

Demonstrations halted traffic and the public transport system where people sat on railway lines in protest. Can you imagine anyone in England getting that wound up over anything?
