Yet Another Reason I Find Cricket Annoying...

The commentary is just so long-winded and boring.

As pointed out by my sister today, as we were in the car, dashing to the airport:

''The commentator just said...'They have had a quick drink....which indicates...that the sun...while it is setting...the intensity and heat....are not significantly lower....than they were...earlier in the afternoon!'

... WHY COULDN'T HE JUST SAY 'IT'S STILL HOT!!'?''

Good point, sis. Good point.

  1. Oh, I am trying to remember the name of this guy who talks in such a convoluted manner!! his name is on my finger tips.. I'm sure it's not Navjot Singh because he would have talked about an analogy between the sun and god only knows what else that comes to his mind, instead of the straightforward convoluted sentence in your post! Hehehe..

  2. hehe... bcoz the commentator has maybe 10 seconds to kill instead of 1. so he speaks a long-winded sent instead of a chotu one.
