And these Indians have a lot of Bangladeshi friends/colleagues who will go to the stadium and show their support for their friend's team in cricket! that's all...after all at the end of the day, under all the body paints and fabrics of flags, we are simply human and nothing but human!
Also I think some BD supporters might have supported India since BD lost to SL, thus they wanted to send the winning vibe to India probably to stabilize the tourny with the hope that then BD would have a chance to be in the play, after all we, BD are the weakest team among the 3 here!
Man it feels very lonely, very empty, vacuum and extremely sad like feeling when I see my Bangladesh lose, but after the game, the next day when my Bangladesh is out of the equation, I will go with my fellow Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan cousins/friends back to the stadium to watch their team playing against another team, maybe with some of their color on and roudy smile and even though they just beat us BD yesterday. At the end of the day we are all human and boy,we love that cricket.
P.S. Also a flight or bus ride from Calcutta Dhaka is relatively cheap and quick, it is indeed very very good for our economy that foreign supporters travel to our Bangladesh and spend the money in BD even if their country is our rival at the field.
