Acceptable!!

That the commentary could be heard on the ground as well. It was only when I saw my first live match at the age of 11 when I realised it’s only for the telecast. Lmao.

LBW!!

I used to think that LBW was so unfair. Like why the Batsman was given out, only because of the ball hit him on his leg. I remember I kept on asking the same question to my Father every time we watched Cricket 😂 😂 😂
