The expert team

The India-England Test series and cricket controversies are dominating the channels once again. The entire England cricket team of the 1980s and the 1990s has found employment with Indian channels. Let us take a look at the team of expert commentators -- Geoffrey Boycott, Michael Arthurton, David Gower, Nasser Hussain, Ian Botham and Bob Taylor (wicket keeper). They are now making more money as commentators than they did during their playing days. Every news channel in English and Hindi telecasts comments from these experts between 7.30 p.m. and 8 p.m., making it difficult for viewers to follow all of them.
