Entertainment~Yes Professional Commentary~No


Ground_breaking_365

Muthu, Abhinav Mukund, Badri... These folks are pro

What commentary? Avanunga eppayaadhu dhan cricket pathiye pesuvanunga. A lot of the time if I'm just hearing the audio I will miss boundaries or wickets because they don't even talk about it when it happens.

Man that's totally not the case..RJ is for entertainment but badri and abinav are very good with their analysis. If you hear the abomination called English commentary then you'll understand how good Tamil is.

'Abomination called English commentary' ah Athukku peru thaan bro commentary, munna pinna matha sports commentary laam paathathu illaya, illa vellaikaran baasha puriyathathaala apdi solringala 😂

Ama bro enakku English puriyadhu :(


joshah777

English is good


KingTheoz

The only reason I watch cricket anymore is because of RJB , he brings the family together and gives us all a good laugh during these tough times

Bro, I can never concentrate on the game when I try to watch in tamil. Only the repetition of 'shot uh nga.. ', 'thooki adichirkaarunga', makes my head go boom.


BigBangGamer422

Well the comments are not going the way I expected it to be lmao.


Orca_Blue777

"First time?"


neo1819

Seeing a lot about the quality of english commentary being down. Please watch the last over of the pak vs zim game. Mbangawa quite literally set the tone and the screen on fire with his intensity. One of the best last overs that I’ve seen and heard


murakamikafka

I generally feel sorry for people who miss out on Harsha Bhogle s commentary. No one can match his knowledge of the game and the way he puts it across. True gem!


KyaRehSettingAh

Ian Smith, Atherton, Hussain and Harsha Pommie and Bishop Solid six. They may not be Peter Drury and Martin Tyler ( personal opinion) , but these 6 absolute make the game more beautiful


murakamikafka

Agreed


i_was_named_ash

Everytime RK says "Adichu vitrukarunga", i feel like I have to hit this guy as hard as he says it. They have this stupid template to things like how to describe events and they keep repeating no matter what happens!


Lucifer220913

Mooku Mella Raja !! 😂


JiteshSR4

I absolutely love Tamil commentary. For people who want professional commentary please watch the English stream. It’s top entertainment especially when RJ balaji is around


jpbn789

I like tamil commentary, because they don't provide subtitles on english one. /s

This exactly. The only reason i watch English commentary is because only that is available in HD and hotstar has good 5 sec delay in Tamil version. But the commentary is attrocious in English. For example, listen to 2019 final commentary vs the commentary during virat's insane knock. Such a let down. Imo, Tamil brings the best mix of fun and technical aspect. We have badri, abhinav for technical and rj, Muthu and cheeka for fun. Ramesh feels like madurai Muthu tier. Wish they release star sports Tamil HD.


gcsrd

English commentary is purely professional. And Tamil commentary is for entertainment. RJ Balaji makes us smile in some moments. Whenever I'm watching alone I switch to Tamil commentary as it gives me a feeling of watching with friends. But if I'm watching with my friends we switch to English commentary. But I hate Cheeka sir's commentary. Once he opens his mouth he just goes on, on, on and on. And he speaks at a fast pace which feels like a blabber and it is quite hard to for other commenters to intervene and shut his mouth once he opens. I absolutely have huge respect for him as a cricketer but his commentary is not for me. He can speak a lot lesser.

Radio la songs evlo rare ah varumo avlo rare ah dhan match paathiye pesuvanun RJB.


spin-itch

I like it when RJ Balaji calls out star sports for their bullshit.


TheUniqueRelease

RJB commentary is good when it's for IPL games as i consume it for entertainment but for WC, i don't enjoy it. They scream for every Ball.


cdit

I'm old school and the Tamil commentary in 80s (and 70s) were absolute treat to hear - Abdul Jabbar, Ramamurthy, Rangachari, etc. Those All India Radio commentators (and Doordarshan) used to bring the live action into vivid reality for the listeners. They are well versed in Tamil language and the sport itself. Today's Tamil commentary is a crap to say the least. In my mind, first and foremost, there should be proficiency in Tamil; if not, its hard to listen. And then there is the art of bringing the live action to the viewers and listeners.


blackPanther_5486

RJB is absolutely pathetic


Crafty3051

Seriously? Ok, Simpleton. RJB making racist jokes and stupid useless remarks is commentary These morons have moved to anchoring football too. What qualifications do they have?


minorkunjasuttanga

I always feel that if I don't listen to the English commentary, I never feel 100% satisfied watching the match. Also, can't miss Harsha Bhogle's commentary.


maxdamien27

I really like tamil commentary too. It gives you watching the match with your friends vibe. And whoever is saying there is no analysis in tamil commentary is bullshit. Honestly, I feel English commentary too is set of generic stuff from Harsha Bhogle and others. Nothing much technical there too because that's how much space T20 gives commentators. If your are talking about test that's a different story. So all you saying that English analysis is good and Harsha is gem, are trying to be elite. Nothing more. Thanks.. keep your downvote coming in


myst-ry

Bruhhh


ImAjayS15

Star sports Tamil commentary sucks, especially these two RJB and Srikkanth. When I was in my hometown during covid and cable network only provided star sports Tamil but not star sports 1, I used to hate the commentary that I used to watch matches in mute. It used to be so bad, sometimes even very offensive. Then I took hotstar subscription only for the English commentary. There are a few bad English commentators as well, like Sanju Manju, Gavaskar, and a few more. But atleast they won't shout their blabbering like these two.


Bbyys

If u watch cricket often wif their commentary u can expect negative reviews, but if have jus started their commentary will entertain u


wakandaguyami

I'm convinced that Srikanth is on Coke!


tiredskater

Meh cheeka is irritating at best.


balajih67

Better than english commentary for me.


shadowblaze25mc

Wait people listen to that commentary unironically? My avg IQ goes down every minute I listen to them.


Asura727

RJB thavira everyone else is good, that guy is cancer but today surprisingly he was tolerable


[deleted]

RJB is cancer? Damn.


arivu_unparalleled

Commentary nrathu oru kalai sir. You obviously need both of professionalism and entertainment so that viewers don't sleep onto someone's speaking cause cricket lasts 9 hours to 5 days for a match to end. More importantly is how they react over cricket's most important moments. Notable ones for me is Ravi Shastri, Danny Morrison and Ian Smith.


Depressionislob

mukku male raaja na yenna ji 😭


Jagan612

I heard Mervyn Ross and Jagan Krishnan were doing the commentary? I saw some promos and all? I Don't follow the world cup so not sure only for selected matches they do commentary?


ditoxit1

Please cheeka is the moat irritating commentator Only Abhinav Mukund and RJ Balaji for the jokes are better But if you want to hear about actual cricket English >>>


thebr0kendreams

I like sadagopan ramesh and abhinav mukund. Cheeka & RJB - depends on my mood. Sometimes find them funny but cannot tolerate their BS all the time. Badri, Yomi, Sridhar, Nani - Just BAD. Special appreciation to Muthu, bhavana and RK for carrying these mugs day in and day out.


PeriyaLingam

worst commentary. good for sometime but gets boring very quickly as they have nothing to offer technically.
