| A common ] is that Ranjith Fernando has a bad case of what is popularly known as 'commentators ]', especially againts Sri Lankan batsmen. Statistically, Sri Lankan batsmen are immeadiately dismissed within moments of him starting the commentatory, and at times immeadiately upon him uttering the first words. This is more true when the Sri Lankan batsmen are performing particularly well, and have a good batting partnership going. Ranjith Fernando's curse againts Sri Lankan batsmen is a better weapon for breaking a partnership than a bowling change by the opposing captain. Sri Lankan cricket fans watching their team play on television are regularly known to mute the sound as they believe his commentary will spur the team to fail. | |||
