Chatted about this in broadcasting. The coverage. Sky, as usual, have done us proud with plenty of coverage and good pundits. As if the final al should be on FTA just to please those who don't like paying. None of us want to pay but we live in the real world. TV is for everyone, not just me
Anyway - commentators. For me Very good - Ian Bishop, Shaun Pollock, Bumble, Nasser Good - Rameez Raja, Sunil Gavaskar, Brendan Julian, Scott Styris, Sanjay Manjrekar Tolerable - Russell Arnold, Michael Slater, Nick Knight, Pommi Mbangwe, Allan Wilkins Don't think anybody I particularly dislike. |

OK, I'm biased

Just saw Virat Kohli's stats when batting 2nd . Crazy !!
Average of 91.8 which is nearly than 40 ahead of the 2nd (Mike Hussey) Makes you think why would I bat on winning the toss playing India...?

At least in England thanks to every county game being commentated on, you have a selecton of young, and not-so-young commentators getting a good footing, and it's good on see one of them, Cally getting a gig with 5 Live at the W20. Doubt whether any of them will end up as a Sky TV commentator - I'd like to think they will. My personal fave is the guy who does Surrey and Middlesex and I can't recall his name. Anyone?? |

It looks to me to be based on Ramiz saying "I can't speak your language.". Ridiculous over reaction and judging by the fact one 300 people signed the petition, shows many thought it silly too. I like Ramiz, talks a bit but he's a very good commentator

way i read it there seemed to be a school of thought that he was particularly biased against bangladesh in his commentaries and it involved quite a wide cross-section of bangladeshi fans and in a semi-organised way
Rameez Raja said same words that bangladesh fans got offended by. During the last 18 months because of the far better Bangladeshi players the fans have become very expectant that the team would win and have essentially written or produced pieces that attacks the other team when Bangladesh wins games. loads of pictures of Mustafizur or Taskin beheading Dhoni and Kohli etc. They even expected bangladesh to push for a semi final for the T20. |

Essentially work done by the Bangladeshi media to get people wound up. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mu...kKBXCpM7s8M%3A |

Bit of a ramble isn't it? Think the main point was the new commentators these days seem to be players picked because they were names rather than their ability to commentate?

Interesting piece on South Africa's disappointing tournament by Firdose Moonda on Cricinfo
http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-worl...ry/991227.html Agree re the uncertainty of ABV's batting position after stating unequivocally that he would be opening |
