Sorry Commentary

I don't understand the kind of commentary going on in this series. The two crowning jewels have been Arun Lal, and Babu Javagal Srinath.

Arun Lal is a veteran when it comes to irritating. I am not sure whether it is the lack of words or lack of the eye sight. Srisanth(a right hand bowler) bowls to Paul Collingwood(a right hand batsman) an inswinger which takes the edge of the bat and flies to the keeper.

Arun Lal twice declared that "the ball slightly moved away". Now from which vantage point did the ball move away. Neither from batsman's, nor from the bowler's. Its an inswinger Godammit!

Srinath's expert comment of "what a beautiful cover drive through the covers" is now the part of folklores. Heard that even Siddhu wants to buy its copy right. He produced another peach of a comment yesterday.

Even a bat could see that Ajit Wadekar was sitting on the left Farukh Engineer in the pavilion. But Srinath insisted former was on latter's right. Either Srinath was not in right frame of mind, or he wasn't in right frame of reference.
