Some muttered 'B''''' whenever the cheerleaders caught their eye. The uncouth men spoke in whispers, assuming only their friends could hear them. But Centurion Park is a small ground, and in its less noisy moments, others in the stands could overhear their remarks. Indians did not fall behind in waving sleazy suggestions on their placards.
