5) Unlike IPL commentators, EPL commentators are vocal
During this IPL India’s most reputed commentator was sacked by his employer BCCI for not praising Indian team in the World T20 2016 after Bangladesh failed to win the match from a close position. Bangladesh was a no match for India but they pulled up a good performance so Harsha speaks up on Bangladesh’s performance at a moment when India started celebrating their crucial victory. BCCI reinstated Harsha later in the IPL. But, they showed that negative words on boring matches are a mandatory no for commentators. They comment on the games but criticism may not go well with BCCI.
But unlike IPL commentary in EPL commentators are more vocal. They are not shy of terming a particular math “dull and boring.” Players, coach and their tactics and spirit of the game never get rid of commentators. Commentators pull punches at a bad performance.
