Afghanistan don't pull in the crowds either, making them unattractive to broadcasters. "It's a matter of monetising those Afghan fans," the ACC's media manager, Shahriar Khan, said. "At the end of the day Bangladesh may lose but they have got 80 million people who are going to tune in to watch. Afghanistan may win but they haven't got that many who will tune in, they are an unknown territory for the broadcasters."

:huh: When you're basing an argument on presupposing that the lesser likely outcome is , well, more likely, you know you're losing focus.

Along with the commentary we can hear the producer calling out the cameras to be used in the ESPN online streaming.

A stream of f-words from the producers for being slow to change the camera. They seem to be more interesting than the commentators.

Actually there are guys who suggest things to say to the commentators.
Yeah. I have heard it a few times over the years. Some one keeps giving facts, tells talk about the wind flowing from left to right and many commentators repeat them.

ramiz raja is the worst comm of all time imo. just an absolute disgrace
There was a test in Pakistan around a decade ago which as usual had the stadium empty. A few children were shown on tv. Raja said 'youngsters have come to see the match'. Next shot of the kids showed them begging. It was hilarious.
