Hi Sir/Madam

Ever since i grew up watching cricket, legends like Tony Greig , Richie Benaud and Bill Lawry are my inspiration for cricket commentary voice.Currently My top 3 best commentators in world cricket would be you, Sourav Ganguly and Mark Nicholas. My passion and ambition is to be a cricket analyst / cricket expert like Dada and Boria Majumdar.

I am a cricket fanatic and use to analyse team strategies with my family members and friends. I use to bi-heart the famous commentary lines from experts ; especially of Ravi Shastri and remembers the previous/old matches results etc.

Example : During 2001 Ind vs Aus 3rd test @ Chennai, Laxman pulls Collin Miller and M.Waugh takes a catch at Mid wicket. These are the lines from Tony Greig "What a catch, what a unbelievable catch, he is stunned ! so he should be..Mark Waugh has taken a absolute blinder here at Chennai ; could this be the one that swing sung the game."

I have enclosed my resume for your kind perusal.

You can screen me to test my skill and knowledge, if i'm lacking anywhere it would be nice if you can help me to rectify it. So that i could improve my knowledge.
