I must add here that I was listening to BBC fivelive's ball-by-ball commentary of England V South Africa in which I found English commentators not only doing a literal description of the deliveries bold but also offering a proper analysis of the game as it progresses, which is also vital. This is something AIR commentators must learn they must provide a proper mix of literal description and real analysis.

I entirely agree that commentators don't care for sightless listeners. They perhaps think that people can see the score board on TV. Hence, they don't focus more on announcing score again and again even after any change in score board, however, I am happy with Ravi Shastri and Toni Greg since there commentary is easy to get to. I've observed that these TV commentators don't announce the score at the end of the over most of the time. While they must say the score at the end of every over. Commentators should not be based only on TV pictures. A good commentary means to describe each and every thing comprehensively and clearly. I think we can write to the concern authorities like the Sports division of Doordarshan, All India Radio and board of commentators.
