Sometimes, I really feel should BD posters belongs to PP or not!!!!!!
This is a thread one gentleman kindly posted to appreciate the performance of BD team - which some may agree some may not; I didn't acknowledge his post here, because personally I am not happy with the performance - you don't lose everyday conceding 34 in 12 balls and 6 of last. Therefore, I have absolutely no issues for every cricket related post here.
BUT, there are at least 3 other BD bashing thread running with Cobra Dance, Dressing Room vandalism (which again was "credited" to BD team even before inquiry, and same people didn't had the guts or self respect to appear in that thread after Match Referee's verdict) and Shakib's call to forfeit. That wasn't enough, so this thread has to be spoiled as well. Though, I am sure every Tom, Dick, Harry posting here won't have given the slightest of chance to BD making the final at the expense of SRL, at their home, in a Double league, where one surprise won't take you to Final - but, I accept, it's Bangladesh.
Shakib called his players, because he felt his Country was cheated out of the Final - still, I didn't support his act, neither did any BD poster. And, in game thread after Mahmudullah hit the SIX, first thing I recalled that it's a similar situation where Gavaskar fortified a game but still later Kapil won it from improbable position. Gavaskar did that, because someone insulted him, and Shakib tried to protect his teams' interest - still someone came to defend Gavaskar (which was not needed, it was never personal against him or that act), with the legend status.
Arjuna pulled his team out because Umpire called his bowler for Chucking; Inzamam conceded a Test because Umpire fined his team for ball tempering ...... but Shakib & Bangladesh team has to be spoiled in every thread because it's Bangladesh FGS.
What BD players did or didn't has been cooked to coal, in other threads, so there had to be a new avenue - from Cobra dance to monkey chant .......up to East Pakistan, in a thread that was initiated to appreciate the team - chalo it's Bangladesh after all.
I read, lot about what BD posters did or didn't in social media, for which PP has to "collectively" grill BD as a team, as a nation in every opportunity - though some of these same posters exposes their backgrounds up to root, going against each others. There are several other forums, where knob-heads from every country comes - in fact in live streaming, first thing I do is click the "X" tab of the live comments - it's such filthy, and that credit is not to BD posters only. Here in PP, each & every BD poster is more than decent, humble, articulate and quite knowledgeable - still, they have to face the music in every thread, even few days back I had to put a tool out of shape in the ICC WC Qualifier thread, because - it's Bangladesh.
In last 25 years, as a nation we have progressed lot - cricket is just one element of it, but I never realized how much - thanks to PP, that I do realize some of that from reaction.
, plus good to know Tigers after defeat to India have been elevated to Lions.
calling team off or some nobody bench player showing finger to host Captain, Dressing room vandalism (not conclusive due to lack of evidence, doesn't mean somebody did it!, SLCB reported it to BCB made the point)...
