Raj TV is showing the ODIs in Bangladesh live and with Tamil commentary. Surely better than the mega serials and the arbit Ramarajan, Rajkiran, level movies that Raj telecasts.
The commentary suffers from the effects of radio commentary, is mostly just an exact description of the visual, which sort of makes the commentary redundant. This is something that most of the English language commentators also don't realise. They are there to enhance the viewing, not just phrase what is happening.
The thing that impressed me most about the Tam commentary was the durations of silence while the cricket was going on. The commentator did not have anything useful to say and hence did the right thing, kept quiet. Siva, Arun, Maninder, among others please take note.
Mainly because of this lack of garrulousness, I preferred to watch Saturday's match on Raj than on DD. I think Raj TV has a possible winner on its hands.

I had fun watching the match on Raj with the tamizh commentry.. semma kindal! But reading your post.. I think it was in a way good :)
@Bj
Yes da, that are also there. DMK has acted pretty fast in giving rights of the 50th anniversary telecast to Raj.
But hopefully in the news front, Raj will not become the new Sun.
@Asha
I think the fun must have been more because of the novelty factor than anything else.
@Vetty Max
I think Raj News has already become the new Sun News. They were reading the entire speech of MK in their news!
^^ why wouldnt they??
over the past month check out suntv stock vs rajtv's!
the good thing about watching the match on Raj is, they dont jump to the ads before the ball lands on the ground. A treat to people who watched matches on set max
