For the seasoned cricket viewer, there can hardly be anything that a commentator can tell him that he or she wouldn't know by himself or herself. So that means there shouldn't be any commentators at all. I personally believe that commentary is an important part of the whole TV viewing experience. Though I believe that commentators like Waqar Younis, Aamir Sohail, Charu Sharma shouldn't be allowed to speak in a cricket match. Ever. But still I can't really figure out if there is much else that they can say aside from the stuff that they dish out at present. Forgive me if I'm missing your point totally but this is what I think.

From one cricket lover to another, I hope (though i aint too sure of the chances} that some sanity prevails and some of these 20-20 "attractions" are done away with. Bring on the actual cricket, people! The sarcasm is eveident.

Mandira Bedi attempting sand surfing and pretty much succeding.. cut to the grounds, where she tells us that Rameez Raza is going to tell us about the weather etc.. Rameez, who has probably seen the Mandira's antics , blurts 'Yes, I am the weather cock!'... Heard & seen before the Mumbai Indians vs. Delhi Dare Devils match..

We gather a few cricket crazy friends. Then we lower the commentary volume and play roles. One of us plays Ravi Shastri, someone else is Greg Blewett. Someone does a gora-bashing being Gavaskar and someone "certainly eeeeees" Ranjit Fernando. Try this trick out. I promise you, the IPL would be the most entertaining package you would get. The commentators almost always repeat after us. Hey Greatbong,

Each article looks totally bland run of the mill stuff, the sort many of the commentators on GBs blog can write after watching the match on telly and can write better. TOI's sport writer is a duffer called bobbili vijay kumar who writes on all things sans cricket for which he is burning TOIs money. Where have the writers of caliber of Sunder Rajan of TOI gone. Hope I remenmber his name right. He used to write long back. GB can you supply them articles and maganimously allow them to publish under their name. Atleast we would be saved from the crap.

'interview' her? To add to this, Ravi Shastri's priceless gem: "I'm sure Danny must be feeling quite warm by now." Complete WTF?! The day cricket died.

Don't knwow the commentator's name, but here is the statement. Venugopala Rao has hit Jayasurya for a magnificient six and the commentator says: "Here is a six, THANKS TO DLF" Now, who hit the six, again? Another great snippet from you during DC and MI.

UP me set max hindi me aata hai, saba karim says "jordaar chapet maara", he needs to be flogged. even harsha has become irritating, he fishes out parables of his university cricket days. was expecting an article on the commentary panel here even before the IPL begun. not such a great read though. you toning down for cricbuzz?
