prasen82 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 If you listened to Tamil commentary, rj balaji the commentator openly commented that they are seeing a spike in Tamil commentary because of manjrekar turn off factor.. saik, AK007, mishra and 2 others 5 Link to comment
someone Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 If anything, I dont want Sachin in commentary. He is prone to talking about himself, his history and, even the co-commentators many times start focusing on him rather than ongoing match... asterix, beetle, figo6762 and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment
maniac Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 It’s good to have a differing view point. I personally like Manjrekar’s commentary anyday over Vvs Laxman,Sourav Ganguly and even Harsha Bhogle (I like Bhogle on cricbuzz better) sergio04, AuxiliA, coffee_rules and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment

Every commentator has their crutch. Ganguly keeps going back to his captaincy days and VVS is clearly not cut out for a public speaking platform. Yes his Imran love is annoying but over all I rate him a better commentator in terms of analysis over Ganguly and Laxman. Viewer experience doesn’t get ruined by Imran love alone even the above mentioned can scree it up. Manjrekar is an easy target because he is not a powerful name like some of the other names. He is fine. Not the worst out there Link to comment

We want him to stop licking any players holes. He is a homer when it comes to his favorite players. I'd rather watch the game on mute. He makes other useless commies like Michael Slater, Wasim Akram sound good Link to comment

Bhogle did a great job analyzing strengths and weakness of each side in the World Cup preview and sometimes he is really good in an analysis setting when there is no pressure on him to be funny or say something smart.

One for death penalty to rapists during the whole nirbhaya thing and the removal of article 370 during the pathankot not even Pulwama attacks. Then I keep getting so many pointless one. Don’t think these things help anyways. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 He is the worst commentator by far in any sports,its a shame we have to even listen to him speak. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment
randomGuy Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Manjrekar is quite bad.... but Bhogle is the worst..hate his fakeness. raki05, prasen82, AuxiliA and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

Manju is in that category that even opponents start supporting Indian players. Being impartial , giving cricket insights Or having humility is different then out and out bending.

When Manju and Harsha are commentating together, they bend over as a sandwich package for the opposition. It's really a torture to be forced to listen to these beta cucks. Link to comment
goose Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 let's face it. practically every indian commentator on ICC telecasts is crap. the best indian commentators are on the radio like Test Match Special for the BBC. Stan AF and raki05 2 Link to comment
