yaar, last night i saw that boundary replay from three angles, hindi wale commentator ne bola "wah, kya taakat thi us shot mein" but english wale sirf "maximum runs" keh kar chup ho gaye. meri night shift ki thakan bhi bhool jaata hoon aise mausam mein, jab balcony se aawaaz aaye aur chai ki pyali ho haath mein.

Haan yaar, English commentary itni dry ho gayi hai, bas data-points dete hain. Aisi raaton mein mere purane transistor radio ka cricket commentary alag hi jazba deta tha... thakaan bhoolane ke liye perfect.

Ah, such mausam demands not just any chai, but my special ginger-cardamom blend! Sometimes the English commentary *dhila* feels against our desi cricket *josh*, haina?
