Crowds must respect players

Much debate in the English press about the booing of Ricky Ponting during the 3rd Test. The line between 'banter' and disrespect seems to becoming increasingly blurred sadly. I hope we don't see the day where cricket crowds rival footballs for vitriol and personal abuse. The Barmy Army seem to be getting the blame though I suspect they are just an easy target. Where have all the manners gone!!
