well guys i have a thing to say
at first i also thought that the commentary sucked big time but recently i have been forced to think again.....here why
playing a test match against austrailia(me being pakistan) i was going through a phase where i was not scoring many runs and was mainly concentrating on keeping my wickets in tact. all of a sudden the commenttators started discussing about modern day umpiring . maxwell asking richie the question and richie giving a great reply......sayin that there is a lot of pressur on umpires in the modern game with te over appealing.....he even went on to say that some of the players appealing is close to intmidation......
this was brilliant....i was amazed.........
then a few overs later....maxwell asked richie
maxwell:richie the hook shot is one of the toughest in the game....and you yourself were a great exponent of the hook shot....what tips would u give the batsmen of today
then richie again gave a very detailed reply.....syaing that getting inline with the ball is the best way and how he cracked his skull once when trying the shot and had to be driven to hospital.
i was stunned ....
in the next match of the same series........
maxwell asked richie what changes he has noticed in the modern game.....compared to when he was playin.....richie replied that the introduction of one day cricket etc. and also the equipment used by players nowadays.....saying that they have helmets and in his day a player would go through his whole career without touching a hel met
and further..............
max well later asked richie the pressure of captaincy...then richie gave a sponatneous reply about the way that captains should conduct themselves......throwing in a great line"whenwever something goes righ...the captain should immediatly take the credit.....because noone else will take the blame when something goes wrong"
my word
i was quite amazed ....startled....thrilled
yes it can be a bit repetitive but the real life cmmentary generally discuses events and history....so u canot expect all of that in the game .......but its nice to know that ea have put in effort and brodening the horizon and generally gatting the real feeling in the game
seriously guys it is eay to get critical but remember that cricket is perhaps the most difficult sport to convert into a video game..
please reply telling me if u have heard any of these parts of the commentary.....or any other ones..........
