"Today, I was watching the India-Srilanka match. But one thing was really sad to notice.
Its fair to say that Australia is the best fielding side(because all 11 players good in the field now). But one must remember that 7-8 years ago, it was NOT the case. They always had slow or bad fielders, and also the fact is at that time South Africa, New Zealand and even Zimbabwe was considered to be best fielding sides.
That was a run-out by Rohit Sharma, direct hit, that was a good fielding of course, he is a good fielder which is also true.
Ian Healy and Mark Tailor were in the box. Ian Healy said "Oh, thats probably the best piece of fielding by Indians in the last 15 years or so". I would take it as just an 'exaggeration' or his 'non-awareness' of other good fieldings or his sheer ruthlessness when it comes to fielding. But immediately after he said that, he started laughing loudly and Tailor followed that as well..
There are so many commentators who I have lot of respect. Craig Chappel, Mark Nicholas to name a couple.. Few commentators talk very technically detailed, some pure passion, some mixture of both. But I dont think one can talk so disgustingly,
Please tell this to an Australian and he should be ashamed of this. I think it's far worser than any thing else."
One of my Indian friend after watching the match emailed me. I felt that's just a cocky Aussie humour and the commentators didn't mean that exactly what they said. If such comments were heard by an Australian, they would shrug their shoulders and move on. But, when you commentary is aired to other countries - crossing cultures, it could be entirely based on the literal meaning of the words only.
The Australian commentators should be aware of this. Another disappointing aspect about Australian commentators is that they do not know Indian players and their performances. They get excited about Sachin Tendulkar, VVS laxman (He is highly rated only in Australia) and few senior players. They have no clue about the young players and I bet they would not know if a player can bowl or bat if I say the name.
Well, all are human beings and we can not know players of the opponent team. Then, they should not be commenting a match that involves two different nations. What do you say?
TLDR; If you merely wish for something and do nothing, you may not get it. If you seek with intent, the universe will bring it to you. முன்னொரு காலத்துல கிம்ப்பியில் (Gympie, QLD) வாழ்ந்தப்ப, ஒரு நாள் காலங்காத்தால 6 மணிக்கு கொக்கரக்கோன்னு கோழி கூவறதுக்கு முன்னால, அந்த பறவையோட பாடலை முதல் முதலாக் கேட்டேன். குரல் ரொம்ப நல்லாவும், பாட்டு வித்தியாசமாவும் இருந்ததால, என்ன பறவையா இருக்கும்னு தூக்கத்தை மறந்து யோசிச்சேன். அந்தப் பறவை எப்படி இருக்கும்னு பார்க்க ஆசையா வந்துந்துச்சு. (கவிதை மொழியில் யாரோ ஒரு பெண்ணை உருவகப்படுத்தல ப்ரோ; சத்தியமா பறக்கிற பறவையேதான்!) அப்புறம், காலைப்பசி வந்ததும், ஆர்வம் பறந்துபோய், இன்னொரு நாள் பாத்துக்கலாம்னு, மூக்கு புடிக்க சாப்டுட்டு, ஆபீஸ் போய்ட்டேன். இது சில, பல நாட்கள் தொடர்ந்தது. பாக்காமலே, அந்த பறவை மேல ஒரு ‘இது’. இதுன்னா, ஒரு ஆர்வம். ஒரு நாள், அந்தப் பறவையை அடையாளம் காண முடியுமான்னு ஆபீஸ் நண்பரிடம், கேட்டேன். ‘பார்க்க எப்படி இருந்துச்சு?’ன்னு அவர் கேக்க; ‘பார்க்கவே இல்லையே!’ நான் சொல்ல; ‘குரல் எந்த மாதிரி பேட்டர்ன்’ன்னு திரும்ப அவர் கேட்க, அடுத்த பதின
