Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 1:33 amI felt a bit awkward not having anyone from Asia. But I think he behaved with a lot of dignity on a couple of disastrous Pakistan tours to England, particularly considering events off the pitch. Being the voice of Pakistan cricket has been quite exposing and discomforting over the last decade.

Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 11:40 amThe worst commentator is Nick knight though, embarrassing he is seen as The sky expert in odi cricket.
Re: Commentators
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 10:12 pmmy favourite living commentator is Jeremy Coney
very amusing, but also inciteful, knowledgable, and measured
or at least he was (I haven't seen any live cricket on the telly for about 3 years)
