Cricket Commentary Adds Life To Cricket

"Welcome to the Chinnaswamy stadium here in Bangalore, to the day two of the second test match between India and Australia, India in the commanding position here.."

"We have got the two captions out there, Heads is the call and its tails "

"India have won the toss and they have elected to field first "

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the post match presentation ceremony we had witnessed some extraordinary cricket today ..over 700 runs have been scored but at the end it was India that have managed to win this one"

Yes, Cricket is not only about bat and ball, it is also about commentary. Its the cricket commentary which adds life to the game and makes every moment alive. Just imagine a match without commentary, I bet you wont watch the full quota of match. Commentary involves you to the game and if there is no commentary there are chances that many will not even understand whats going on. A wicket will not be wicket, fours and sixes will never look like the ones without commentary.

There lies a parallel world of commentary with cricket. Ravi Shastri, Harsh Bhogle, Ramiz Raja, Sanjay Manjrekar are the ones who rule this world. With their unique speaking styles and use of adjectives  they had grabbed viewer attention on television and are the ones whom people wait to here. It is because of commentary only match starts thirty minutes before for many, just to watch the toss and pitch report which is been presented by commentators in their own defining styles and ends after thirty minutes after the actual match ends.

Bang on target, that's hammered away through the covers, jam packed stadium, electrifying atmosphere, the ball raced away to the boundary, ball will win the race, thats going going and gone, maximum, using the pace of the bowler and giving direction from bat, thats dusra for you, helicopter shot, upper cut, edged and taken are some of the synonyms used for describing all the cricketing actions going on the field and this is how those action become live for the audience watching it on television. Commentary make you familiar with actions and brings you more closer to the game by explaining all the things going around on the field.

Although, I  doubt their might be any one who is not impacted by cricket commentary but still if you are the one I will suggest you to listen to commentary as well while watching cricket, you will surly enjoy the game like never before.
