ESPN-Star Cricket’s commentators are divided between those who treat this as any other game and those who have responded to the new tempo: Harsha Bhogle is in the latter category, Mohinder Amarnath in the former. If anything he has gotten even slower in his delivery than when he came in to bowl. The commentator’s job just got easier: there’s very little they have to describe and a short time to do it in. Favourite remark? It’s gone, gone, high, high, way way, into the stands...
So, what’s the response? Oh yes, or oh no, depending on whether you’re the 50something purist or the 20something adventurer!
