I am writing this while the India-Pak 2nd one day is on at MOHALI...
u watch a ball!
u watch another...
its all fine till the last ball of the over, , , ,
on the last ball a single is taken and suddenly there is an overthrow, so the batsmen begin to run the 2nd run...
...BUT HEYY!! some smart a-s-s son of a BH coordinating the telecast plugs in the ADS... I can only imagine that a run was taken...
A wicket is taken ... I just moved my head to the side and missed that "moment".... I can only hear the cheering of the crowd.. I am kicked I wanna see the replay and it starts...
...BUT HEYY!! some smart a-s-s son of a BH coordinating the telecast plugs in the ADS... I can only imagine how the wicket fell...
and only god save u if a wicket falls on the 5th ball.... cause u’ll see a short glimpse of the appealing fielders... then a long ad break which will end exactly when the last ball is about to reach the batsmen and he will defend, and the ads will start again for a long time even before the ball touches the bloody ground!!... and ALLL along, while you were under the ilusion that you could peacefully have your tea and watch a good cricket match.. u realise that your tea is over!!.. that isnt a big deal... but I hope u are getting my point!
and this happens for an entire season... match after match... SMARTEST POSSIBLE LIVE EDITING... and u get frustrated... and then u hit upon a golden IDEA...
u make a list of ALL the brands that have advertised in order to make your cricket shorter... u PLEDGE never to buy or support these brands ever again --
Vodafone
Future group (Pantaloons, Shoppers stop)
Anchor
Tata Indicom
Raymonds
Kotak
Hero Honda
etc
etc
and then u realise... wait... these brands are NOT at fault.. .THE B-L-O-O-D-Y channel is not behaving itself... they are being ruthlessly apethetic towards the sentiments of a cricket fan, , .,
they are P-I-S-S-I-N-G me offffffffff...
and I realise that the match is live on DD tooo... after years I shift to DD... am disappointed again.. but I dont expect DD to have enough intellect to understand consumers .... NEO is suppoed to be from the new breed of channels...
I miss ESPN STAR telecasts... AND THAT REMINDS ME.... neo has this insanely wannabe anchor who hopelessly and shamelessly copies Harsha bhogle’s style... I miss harsha’s wit during matches...
so I decide that the best I can do is TELECAST MY UNEDITED views on MS and hope that it reaches the ears of the "smart a-s-s son of a BH coordinating the NEO telecast".. .OR.. better still... NEO shuts down and never gets any telecast rights (which is unlikely cause they have purchased our cricket entertainment for next 2-3 yrs or so I guess!!!)
PLEASE DONT CUT THE EXCITEMENT....
I think Neo sports gives the WORST coverage of any match and they should be BANNED from buying the telecats rights and their existing rights must be taken away!!!!
I miss my cricket!
