Having very little idea about the nuances of a game yet posting a lot of passionate but stupid comments isn't the thing to do. We do that a lot, partially because we suck at every other sport on the global stage and hence have a lot of emotion riding on the fate of our National cricketers.

No wonder we have so many BD-dissing NRBs who have either never played cricket beyond the garage space, or been to a domestic game to assess a player within a qualitative context, or local copy/paste artists insisting on posting in atrocious English rather than Bangla in order to appear "(ish)smart", or local "eaparts" never seen in a domestic match, or with a clear understanding of what they're looking at when they do watch crikhyat, feel so PASSIONATELY about some players and the way they play. Alga matobbori is a Bangla phrase for reason.
