I always keep the sound up just to hear the roar from the Baramunda market tea-stall TV when India hits a six – the caller there is louder than the commentator! Sometimes I think the English feed is watching a test match, while our Hindi one is a full masala film, complete with Amitabh-level drama in the analysis.
