Multan. Feb 21 (IBNS): Disappointed after their national side's poor show in the World Cup match against West Indies, angry supporters destroyed television sets in Pakistan's Multan city on Saturday, media reports said.

Fans also performed mock funeral by mourning around a bed of cricket bats.

"Meanwhile, at Chungi No 9 enraged cricket fans protested and vented their frustration by smashing a number of TV sets with large batons. The cricket supporters also expressed that cricketers must be selected for the squad based on merit," Dawn News reported.

"We should bury cricket. We should not think about it. We should not play it. We should only focus on our national game hockey and other games such as football," a disappointed fan told the newspaper.

West Indies beat Pakistan by 150 runs in a group stage match of the World Cup.
