SachDan Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Mumbai: The magic of IPL knows no frontiers. In its endeavour to reach out to wider audiences, IPL’s 2010 edition will be broadcast in 124 countries. So it doesn’t matter if your company sends you to Burkina Faso or Belize and your internet is on the blink - you can stay tuned to all the action whenever your favourite team is playing. Networks from Africa, South-East Asia, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Caribbean and the Americas are all set to telecast the IPL matches in their region. While Supersport Network will broadcast the matches in 51 African countries, Willow TV will telecast the matches in 23 countries and Arab Radio and Television (ART) will reach homes in 20 Middle East countries. Sony Set Max will telecast the tournament in the Indian sub-continent and 21 Caribbean countries will be covered too. Networks from Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand will broadcast the event live in their countries. Meanwhile, the commentators for the premier tournament have been finalised. Three teams of commentators will be covering the tournament. Former Indian leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, retired fast bowlers Michael Kasprowicz (Australia), Danny Morrision (New Zealand) and Pommie Mbangwa (Zimbabwe) along with renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle will form one team. The second team includes former India captain Ravi Shastri, fast bowlers Ian Bishop (West Indies) and Dominic Cork (England) while batting all-rounders Russel Arnold (Sri Lanka) and Jeremy Coney (New Zealand), and left-arm chinaman bowler Brad Hogg (Australia). The third team comprises legendary Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar, popular commentators Mike Haysman (Australia) and Robin Jackman (South Africa), West Indian great wicketkeeper Jeff Dujon and Australian pacer Andy Bichel. Former Kiwi fast bowler Simon Doull will join the team later on. Arnold, LSK, Hogg, Cork..wtf? :mad:
vvvslaxman Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Plz No Brad Hogg.. can't stand his stutters. Good that there is no Ranjith Fernando.
vvvslaxman Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 What do they see in L Siva. Only reason i can think of is he works for free. Even then... :wall:
SachDan Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Where is Abbas Ali Baig? :hysterical: Siva,Arnold,Hogg and Baig would have formed a dream set of commies :hysterical:
punjabi_khota Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 siva and arnold are clearly the worst of the lot here.
flamy Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 siva and arnold are clearly the worst of the lot here. cuz they are dark? :yousuck:
thevortex Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Jeremy Coney is such a snake oil salesman. I would miss Arun Lal from that list :).
achilles Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Hogg, that "bastard" (ref: Thats what he called Dada & Anil bhai) :(( And I hope Ian doesn't choke himself to death while talking, coz thats the way I feel he might suffer a heart-attack. *takes a huge breath after talking non-stop for 1min* :giggle:
Don Sharma Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 The third team looks far better than the other two. It looks like Coney is going to have a tough time with the rest of his "crew" :).
flamy Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 ^ I agree :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

ViruRulez Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Russel arnold :wall: :wall: That was the first thing that also came to my mind when I saw this list ... also LSK is boring I feel :wall:
sangrock Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I miss Tony Greig and Geoff Boycott. Even Sanjay Manjrekar would be better than Siva! RUSSEL ARNOLD.... OMFG!
Serani Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Doesnt really matter, in IPL it sounds like they all get a script to read from anyway, gonna hear a lot of "he hit that like a tracer bullet!!"
