When Ravi Shastri batted boringly, he was booed and barracked by the Wankhede Stadium crowds
When Tendulkar failed against Pakistan in the last test match, the crowd of Wankhede stadium did not spare their local hero either.
Did a single Bengali criticise Ganguly for his excessively cautious (& slow) batting against Bengladesh or even Bermuda where others were scoring freely? Or his failure on encountering a better quality of attack against Sri Lanka? These blind worshippers find justification for whatever Ganguly does right or wrong!

Don't just write messages if you don't know the stuff. Ganguly was booed away in Eden multiple times. I was there on one such occassion, against Pakistan in 2004 (when India won the match due to Karthick's great knock).

What you are telling is absolute non sense. In the host of postings by fictitous names and pen names how can you say such things? My knowledge is quite reverse. You people are somehow having jealousy against Bengalis. You pose to be superior, but this superiority complex is another name for inferiority complex. Your plans of driving out the Bengalis out of India will not succeed. They are not going to leave India. They will stay here and compete in every field including cricket.

Because Bengalis are Bengalis, the others are Indians.
Usually, when I send such messages, the typical response of a Bengali is to quickly remind me of the contributions made by Bengalis to the freedom struggle, Desh Bhakti etc. But all that does not negate the fact that the Bengalis are blindly protective about their clan and look at the criticism of one Bengali as critism of entire Bengal!
