One Bengali cricketer I really liked in recent times was Deep Dasgupta. Although, he was raised in Delhi, but is a bengali and plays for Bengal in Ranji. He got his India color in test matches by chance, but I thought that the guy was actually quite good. He and Dravid by their gutsy batting saved the second test match against South Africa in 2001. He later made a century against England. But he dropped a few catches and then the media jumped on him. After that the guy simply lost his confidence because of the harsh criticism. Now, I think is barely hanging on to his Bengal wicketkeeper spot. A gutsy player who simply couldn't realize his potential. I have a lot more respect for him than I have for Ganguly.
