Indian Premier League Commentary

there was such a big hue and cry over what the IPL has in stores for us. Big Sixes , high scores , fan fare , celebrities , full 100% entertainment. But this is not the only thing that accompanishes a match. there is something called as in game stuff, i call that commentary. The way the fielding is done , the batsmen playing and the bowler bowling. even though Lalit Modi seem to find a huge success in set up of entire stuff , but there is one thing that has left me dissapointed. let me recount things of commentators that irritated me most :

  1. The batsman has hit the ball so hard will it go all the way .... a long pause .. straight to fielder .
  2. in match of MI and KXI , Sangakara hit a ball straight to mid on. the commentator was saying , what a pure timing shot , but didnt find the gap. If the batsmen timed the ball well , it went straight to fielder three times over
  3. Each time same player scores a six , AS keeps on saying," we have another contentor for DLF max six awards" , even though that person has already scored 5 sixes , and the batsman has been ANOTHER contentor 5 times .
  4. in second match , Ashish Nehra was bowling and commentator was using name of spinner , after 2 balls he realised he was wrong. Sad !!!
  5. i know my english is pathetic , but try to listen to what they say, my English is much better.
