This doesn't look very balanced, should have had another Pakistani commentator in their ie Waqar Younis

 

[Rana]

How do you watch Hum Masala on virgin?

Do they have a live YouTube stream?

Never understood why isn't Amir Sohail invited to commentate in matches involving Pakistan or in the PSL?

Is someone in the PCB having a grugr againts Amir Sohail which we are not aware of?

He was the whistleblower for the Saleem Malik fixing issue.

He was the whistleblower for the Saleem Malik fixing issue.

He is paying for doing the right thing?

 

[Rana]

He is paying for doing the right thing?

I don’t know if that’s the reason but it surely is something that makes him stand out,

As far as paying for doing the right thing is concerned, the world isn’t as straightforward as we would like it to be.

Awful line-up. 3/5 are downright unbearable to listen to

Hum Masala is there on Sky under Asian channels. I have recently shifted to BT and they dont have any Asian channels. So I wont be able to watch the series. Not sure abour Virgin...try channel #833....i think they have hum europe...not sure if its the same channel.

UK coverage lads?

 

[MenInG]

For those looking for broadcast details.

Hum Masala on channel 732...

 

[Sunzi]

Hum Masala on channel 732...

Oh shezade! Thanks man.

 

[Markhor]

I've got the channel but it's a letterbox picture format. Anyone know how to change it to full screen ?

 

[Usman]

Picture quality is something from the 1970s. Is this Hum Masala’s terrible quality channel, or is the footage really this bad wherever you watch?

Treating the viewing public with such little respect, in 2022, is just completely unacceptable.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Not listed on Hum Masala EPG?

Dammit would've watched but thought it's on BT

I got Willow TV subscription for the games in Canada. But it's not showing.

Who is showing in Canada

 

[Saj]

Feels like I am listening to a broadcast for Sri Lanka tourism board and not cricket.

Pretty poor commentary all round.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Who is the third Sri Lankan commentator? Didn't see his name mentioned in that list.

I stopped watching it yesterday.
Picture quality plus commentary was enough to put you off cricket for life.

I don’t blame you. In years gone by I would have said ah but the cost of good quality footage will be too high etc. However, in 2022 good quality footage is now the norm in any form of cricket at any level, not the exception. Even small time domestic games that nobody watches are broadcast in full HD.

I do wonder though if this is just Hum Masala’s poor quality broadcast, and if the footage itself is better quality. Would be interesting to hear from posters in other parts of the world.

 

[ElRaja]

watched a bit, terrible picture quality, its ironic that an internet "stream" has better quality and less ads. also the commentary is terrible, like i wish they just didn't speak after every ball.

i cant think of one decent asian commentator, fair enough, but the neutral commentators are really boring too.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

What channel on Sky?. Stayed up until 5 and nothing

Farvez Maharoof I believe.

Former Sri Lanka player.

 

[Saj]

Hum Masala Channel 732

Picture quality awful.

Adverts dreadful.

But better than nothing.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Farvez Maharoof I believe.

Former Sri Lanka player.

Ohh. He doesn't add anything to commentary either.

Don't know why they can't get Sangakkara or Jayawardena instead.

 

[U$ofA]

Ohh. He doesn't add anything to commentary either.

Don't know why they can't get Sangakkara or Jayawardena instead.

He is busy with Eng/Ind series.

 

[Omer2002]

Guys in pakistan please can you tell me what is the OFFICIAL PTV Sports stream website when ever I go to PTVs it says its temporarily unavailable and that's for the last three months which can not be right.

With LPL being postponed, any chance of cancelled ODI series between Pak-Sl happening?

It's nearly unwatchable. They have that old letterbox picture format.

And it's barely SD forget HD.

 

[Babeikh]

Too many annoying adverts

 

[SpiritOf1903]

It's not HD but not the worst. It's been much worse previously.

Though an advert each over and the first bowl being missed each time!.

Could do with a Tipu's mind.

Unlikely at this late stage I guess.

Yes, the same ones again and again.
