Letter of thanks to the BCCI

Dear Sir,

Re the first ODI between India and England.

I'm writing to express my gratitude to the BCCI for the broadcasting arrangements for the aforementioned match at Hyderabad. The sheer professionalism of the pictures blackout was astonishing. It's rare to see something so superbly managed and executed and the timing, oh the timing. Exquisite. Many organisations wouldn't wait until half an hour before the start until deciding using Hawkeye replays was absolutely beyond the pail, but your consistency on this matter is so much better than the flip-flopping seen by other boards.
Once granted the privilege of seeing what was happening, I was also extremely pleased that we had commentators which you, the BCCI, pay rather than anyone with a modicum of impartiality. Frankly, any broadcaster that's already arranged for their people to be there should have checked to see if you'd throw an enormous strop just before the first ball was bowled before they sent them there and any complaints will, I trust, be dismissed with the contempt they deserve.

In summary, I'll happily play the part of the good, quiet, grateful consumer and not write anything sarcastic or disrespectful online in regard to your absolutely fuckwitted and childish behaviour.

Yours in sport,
JD
