The commentary team would also have Harsha Bhogle and former Australian cricketer Mike Haysman. The 12-team showpiece event would be one of the most widely viewed cricket tournaments as the sports broadcaster ESPN STAR Sports would cater the feeds to more than 160 countries across the world. The event will also be telecast in over 11 international languages including many leading European languages, a release stated.

DomainK Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 wow...the fake accent will irritate many. This guy is as fake as it gets. I would prefer to listen to Yunis Khan (who I could never understand) to Sanga.
Temujin Khaghan Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 shoaib malik can do the "Inspector Clouseau" impression.
zubinpepsi Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 wow...the fake accent will irritate many. This guy is as fake as it gets. I would prefer to listen to Yunis Khan (who I could never understand) to Sanga. Younis is an honest, down to earth man who enjoys his sport..sanga is an arrogant SOB
chetan0304 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Dunno about his behavior but truly his over appealing irritates . I pray he wont appeal with the bowler from the commentary box.
gaurav92 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Sanga is arrogant and very proudy whereas younus is humble and cool guy but i still love lankans more than pakistan
Yabaser Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Sangakkara is just fit to remain as the wicket keeper of the Lankan team. Commentary is not is piece of cake. Long live the commentators group
