hummmm new England team, new odi rules, same old thrashing in a sub-continent game.

England is giving them freebies, they are playing easy on Flat Track Bullers!!

Watching the highlights is just impossible, watched about 5 minutes and had to turn off because the indian commentators are so clueless. All of a month ago we absolutely slaughtered them and now theyre going on like they're league's above us.

[Wills]

If they save a single in the outfield, it's Christmas for them!
I wish Sky had audio options, so you can choose between the biased Indian commentators and the normal ones off TMS.

[Wolfie89]

What exactly was the deal with the Indian commentary anyway? Sky would get complaints if they were that biased.

I seem to remember most of the english commentators slating praveen kumar for not being a test match bowler for his lack of pace during the summer. He was called an old fashioned club bowler on many an occasion. The commentaros were having abit of a giggle and laugh at PK. Infact it was abit insulting.This could also have been deemed as being biased. PK'a figures, in my opinion were quite reasonable.


There is always going to be some bias, which ever country you go to, but before we start having a go at others, we should have a look at what our own broadcasters are airing. There should be no double standards

[Opener]

I agree with don. Every country has biased commentators. Just look at the difference between 9 and Sky during the Ashes. I do find however that Bumble and Hussain are pretty fair although Hussain tends to be a little harsh which I prefer.

[thedon]

I like Gower and Atherton.  I like listening to boycott too, just to listen to him patronising everyone else...makes me laugh, he a character.

[Wolfie89]

I think there is a very fine line between opinionated and biased. Most commentators will flip flop between the two depending on who is playing who.

[Johnny]

I tend to find a lot of English commentators are often super critical!

PAH we post a decent total and we are getting smashed AGAIN>>> gggrrrrr

[Colesy]

2 LBWs turned down, would've helped if they used the review system. Oh wait.

[tim2000s]

PAH we post a decent total and we are getting smashed AGAIN>>> gggrrrrr

I've spotted a variety of pies in there though, most of which have been fairly meaty...

[Six Sixes Cricket]

Stunning catch from KP, is there hope?

[ppccopener]

we are getting battered here
let's hope we get a couple of wickets to slow the rate!

KP great catch

If only cricket was played in a system that wasn't dominated by one country 
Might actually have some progress in the game
