Cricket Tragic Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Bengalis love to celebrate mediocre tailunt from their community. Yes, I can confirm that he is very popular.
India55 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 Bengalis love to celebrate mediocre tailunt from their community. Yes' date=' I can confirm that he is very popular.[/quote'] are you from kolkata? anyway you spelled talent wrong
Dravid_TheWall Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Debabrata Das is also very popular with Kolkata crowd. I think Shakib is popular because Bengali's don't have good genes for sport (better at literature) so they celebrate all Bengali's. No one in India Punjab would celebrate a Pak Punjabi player playing for them.
India55 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 My question was not about shakib being mediocre or not plz donot derail the thread :offtopic:
Ultimate_Game Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Bengalis love to celebrate mediocre tailunt from their community. Yes' date= I can confirm that he is very popular. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Dinda comes to mind as well and I have no doubt in his heyday even Arun Lal must have had a grand fan following and people from Bengal must be swearing at BCCI and accusing them of favoritism for picking Gavaskar over Arun Lal :haha:
India55 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 Debabrata Das is also very popular with Kolkata crowd he is from kolkata so he should be popular my query was that Dada despite not being form Bangladesh was always very popular in Bangladesh, Is it vice versa with Shakib in kolkata

India55 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 Yes but is Das popular in Bangladesh? :mad: haha..no, to be popular we need to know who das is dont we? If the plays for india someday in the future and do well i am sure he'll be popular here
Cricket Tragic Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 are you from kolkata? anyway you spelled talent wrong :facepalm: And yes, I am Ganguly's neighbour in Behala. I used to bounce him out even when he was a kid playing on the streets.

I am being honest. Bengali's in general are one of the worst at anything with even a hint of athleticism even for Indian standards.

Crookbond Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Shakib is 10kgs popular in Kolkatta, I can confirm.
Texy Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I think Shakib is slowly gaining admiration from people thru his performances and yes off course there is always little bit of bengali bias :D ...not just Shakib but most people in Bengal do support Bangladesh when they play other countries except when against India
