Ten important lessons for wannabe commentators in IPL.

Ten important lessons for wannabe commentators in IPL.

1. Any batsman who comes out to bat has excellent potential when he comes out to bat and is in form when he hits his first boundary.

2. If you were born in Australia you can hit the ball a long way, unless your name is Doug Bollinger.

3. If you dive and half stop the ball, it's bad fielding. If you let it go, it's a good shot.

4. If you can run two, you are quick between the wickets, even if you are VVS Laxman.

5. Ultra Slowmotion Cameras are the greatest invention in cricket after round balls.

6. If the batsman misses the ball its either a slower ball or a quicker delivery depending on where the keeper gathers it.

7. There are always big hitters to come in the pavilion.

8. Any new player coming into the team  lends balance to the side, evening if he is only there because someone else has the loosies.

9. The same ball used in 50 over cricket ages faster and becomes an old ball in ten overs.

10. During a rain delay, it's a wonderful surprise than the crowd waits patiently after paying all that money to be there.

These basic laws and the ability to read the numbers at the bottom of the screen are about all you need to be a successful IPL commentator. The ability to keep a straight face to Sidhu's jokes is an added bonus.
So go on. There is a rich and successful career waiting for you.
