Language problem isn't a barrier here!

BLOEMFONTEIN: Communication between the players, or probably the lack of it, has been one of the focal issues in the IPL. Shane Warne in the slips, Munaf Patel bowling and Tillakaratne Dilshan on strike. This is a scenario which no other tournament can provide. Warne cannot speak Hindi, Patel's hardly well-versed with English and Dilshan isn't too fluent in the language either. There have been other situations that have been curious. It's tough to understand when Dwayne Smith talks and Venugopal Rao hardly gets the message the first time. South African Vincent Barnes is Hyderabad's new bowling coach for the rest of the tournament and so far he's yet to strike a decent conversation with 19-year-old pacer Jaskaran Singh. Kamran Khan and Graeme Smith have hardly spoken (Warne admits he handled Kamran alone). TOI spoke to a few broadcast technicians dealing with live feed, apart from umpires Daryl Harper and Russell Tiffin and a few players. Some were of the view that it can get absolutely confusing at times. A few thought that the game makes it a lot more easier and it is not as difficult to communicate as one might think. The rest simply smiled and shrugged. The technician, in fact, suggested that the media listen to what actually goes on out in the middle and after hearing the uninterrupted feed it is easy to conclude that things can get absolutely hilarious. Here's an exclusive transcript of what took place: Munaf to Warne: There, there, behind. Warne: Where behind? You want it wider (third man)! Munaf walks back to take his run-up and Abhishek Raut is moved to wide third-man. In another instance, Graeme Smith is at mid-off telling the bowler Amit Singh to "try and keep him there". It has got to do with perhaps keeping AB de Villiers on strike so that Dilshan gets to face Warne in the next over. Amit's reply is, "Where?" The technicians understand it better. They say we've got used to it. Harper maintains that it is because of the game that eventually communication, or the lack of it, doesn't really matter. "From what I can see out in the middle, the players look hardly bothered. I don't think it's a problem at all," he said.

Good but Amit Singh knows English well, so not sure about that
