Yenna Koduma Sir idhu ?

So after a huge break this is my first posting. Well all these days I was busy doing nothing in my house except for the usual eat watch and sleep. It was the second day of the first test between India and Bangladesh, I was franticly searching for the channel that was telecasting the match and i finally ended up with Raj TV. Kudos to RAJ TV for telecasting the match live and the good thing ends there. I really geared myself up in the cosy sofa and the match started, then struck disaster,the commentry was in tamil. Oh my god it was really painful for my ears .Some of their tamil translations like "vaal attakarargal" for tailenders, "vetti adugirar" for cut shot are simply terrible to hear. The height of their stupid commentating was that when they mentioned the Bangladesh players as Pakistani and calling a no-ball a wide. Their commentary was more like what comes in the radio where they shout loud when a boundary is hit to bring that visual effect to the listeners.This made me go completely upset and adding fuel to fire was Mortaza who was hammering our bowlers. So finnaly decided to watch the match briefings in the news channels .I think Raj TV has wasted the oppurtunity because NEO sports comes only in few places so they could have used this as a great oppurtunity to raise their trp ratings but unfortunately the commentators have let them down.
