Rajiv Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 ..every successful cricket teams needs an umpire, referee, commentator with them on a tour to India
King Tendulkar Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 He is so annoying. Continuing to praise Clarke and the aussies while nitpicking at India all the time while we are battering them. None of the commentators are even remotley criticising the aussies. Even though they have been poor.
Prudent Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 He wasn't like this during South Africa world cup.Not sure what happened to him now, very biased!!
Shane Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 He is so annoying. Continuing to praise Clarke and the aussies while nitpicking at India all the time while we are battering them. None of the commentators are even remotley criticising the aussies. Even though they have been poor. Im sure Mr. Sunil Manohar Gavaskar is waiting for the tenth Aussie wicket to fall, and he will be all over the Aussies in the next Test and the same applies for Mr. Shastri Agreeing to the above poster, Mark was unbiased during the World Cup and during most of his commentary stints before this
King Tendulkar Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 Well he was ridiculously bias during our last tour of oz. I know he is desperate to commentate in oz but this biasness is OTT. Still he is not as bad as Barry Richards
Mr. Wicket Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Is there a bigger git than Mark Nicholarse? Yes. He presently captains the touring side.
Lord Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 dunno what nicholas said n in wat context. can somebody update me on this?
Shane Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Is there a bigger git than Mark Nicholarse? Yes. He presently captains the touring side. :haha:Now that was quite honest, even though Mark may have changed his stance regarding teams, hez one heck of a commentator !!!
King Tendulkar Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 Is there a bigger git than Mark Nicholarse? Yes. He presently captains the touring side. :hysterical::hysterical:
vsd2006 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I dont understand why would BCCI want channel 9 commentators for this series. They dont allow to share our greats their commentary rooms when we went down under. The entire panel is aussie-centric except for Ian Chappel who doesnt care about giving his opinion no matter what others feels and it is usually a very balanced one.
WeStMiDz Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I actually quite enjoy Nicholas' commentary. As already said a HUGE improvement on the likes of Arun Lal and co...
Mr. Wicket Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 A screeching chimpanzee with a live microphone might be an improvement on Arun Lal. That's really not saying much.
Sachinism Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 To be fair to Mark, he is pretty enthusiastic about Indian players too
Aussiefanguy Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I respect Mark because of his passion for the game and enthusiasm for commentating. Saying you hate him and judging him just by the way he commentates is pretty harsh and unfair if you havnt even met the guy.
Rajiv Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 >> Leaving aside the "hurtful anti-Indian" stuff which we are very delicate about, he is pretty good and is very nice to listen to He is one commentator who expressed Indian players during the England series, he described Dravid so perfectly by explaining he is from the south where people are less confrontational and are great students which is displayed in his batting Apart from Mike, the upcoming star would be Brendon Julian. The guy keeps it simple and and sounds very polite
Ram Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Nicholas>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lal.
Desi Cartman Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I feel sorry for the guy , he is a pom and he has to act as if he is an Aussie and keep Indians happy since he is getting his pay check from an Indian channel ... Pappu cant dance sala
HouMac Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I feel sorry for the guy ' date=' he is a pom and he has to act as if he is an Aussie and keep Indians happy since he is getting his pay check from an Indian channel ...[/quote'] I'll never understand this attitude. It seems like it's impossible for a commentator to impress some of you guys unless he LOVES India and hates the other team. Nicholas LOVES everyone. His enthusiasm for the game is unmatched in the commentary box today. He isn't praising India just because he's working for an Indian channel. He's ALWAYS been like this. The series Down Under last year/early this year working for Channel 9 he was openly rooting for us.
jf1gp_1 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 So a guy would rather see aus win than India whats the big deal.
