Holding has been more sober on SuperSports commentary as compared to what you guys getting on Indian channel in India. We are gettin superSports commentary here. He’s been decent. Though when we go in UK, I expect him to act like a Jerk when commentsting for Sky Sports.

House moron!! :phehe: This reminds me of the censorship of movies shown on tv channels when they replace words like motherfocka with mother lover!! 

 

Regarding the topic of the post, yes I do notice some disparagement in his voice when talking about Indian cricket past and present (I do not know if he holds the same sentiment about India in general). He once belittled Gavaskar’s record against his WI saying his a lot of his runs came on flat pitches, etc. This is not completely untrue, but he made it sound worse than it is.

He was not really hiding his hate for India in this series. He was like "Dekock is not in best of the form. May be it will be his day"  lol I am so glad we facepalmed him in the last Test.

But how is that anti-India? Maybe he expected Dekock to take SA home.

I too have a noticed a distinct anti-Indian sentiment in his commentary. It's not overt, but you can tell he's clearly rooting for the other team.

Good thread, i was thinking about opening similar thread. Holding has always been Anti India, he hates everything Indian like Gavaskar, Sachin. Even disparages IPL, And is a English Bootlicker as well.

Let him do that man! As long as it is not very vicious. He is a bit of a straight shooter as well, and I will take that kind (even if he is biased) over someone who just heaps praise all the time almost like a sycophant. With the complacement Indian mindset, the latter is more harmful than the former as they can use the criticism as bulletin board material for motivation.

There is always an anti-indian tone in his commentary. He was the only one to say India doesn't deserve to be world no.1 .
