I AM A RESIDENT OF ABU DHABI AND FOX SPORT IS RELAYING WORLD CUP IN THIS REGION. I NOTICED ONLY LAXMAN SIVARAMAKRISHNAN AS AN INDIAN COMMENTATOR! WHY WHAT HAPPEND TO RAVI SASHTRY, HARSH BOGLE, GAVASKAR or MANJEREKAR? ARE THEY COMMENTATING ON DIFFERENT CHANNEL? THIS IS SO BORING AND THANK GOD ARUN LAL DID NOT GET CHANCE.

Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, Harsha Bogle are in ESPN & Star Sports. Manjerekar in is Ten Sports. As ESPN & Star Sports, and Ten-sports did not get TV right we are missing them!

I agree with you.Even Sidhu would have add colour.Manjraker would have been great.Can anyone give us some insights of these great commentators.

Sidhu murdered a person with a cricket bat. So channels might be little bit wary of him.
Manjeraker is the best in business. Don't know how he got missed out.

why r u missing them?????? u shud be thankful instead.except for harsha. shastri:"'consecutive boundaries' for sehwag"???!!!as if we dont know what is consecutive."i think they shud accelerate now if india has to win this match" what were u doing in ur (non?)playing days??? fake accent,pronouncing tendulkar with a thinner d."this one will go down the wire" how many times? gavaskar:"look at the balance,the follow through(u guessed it...of tendulkar)splendid!!!" now how many times have we heard this line? manjarekar:"this is something i have against tendulkar...he has the capacity but never hits such telling blows as gibbs did now" u didnt do anything apart from getting run out or running others out.

Thats right. none of the manjeraker and shasthri crap. But atleast u can laugh on them. This guy Sivarama krishnan is boring as hell! Looks like nothing is going right for the Indian cricket fans.

lol...true you have wacthed lot of cricket Shastri: that ball went like a tracer bullet...
But dude if we have to pick 2-3 commentrators ofrm india...given the options we have i would still like Shastri, Gavaskar and Co...if not anything their tone is exciting and "unboring" and understand the game better than most other indian commentrators
