When you want some other top team (India) losing to a lower ranked side (Pakistan)  to spice the World Cup up and believe this upset is good for cricket, it gets to happen to your own team not once but twice. Nasser Husain :hysterical: the pak agent. 

One cannot miss both Nasser Hussain's as well as Isa Guha's weird affection for Pakistan in their commentary. Both are British Indians and seem to have developed some kind of Stockholm Syndrome with regards to the Pakistanis.

Not really. In the India Pak game he specifically said you can't bully India with the short balls.

Neutral is the position one takes when oneself is not involved and have to be fair by being equidistant between the two 'others'. If you stay and sound neutral when you are one of the parties, it reeks of insecurity and virtue signalling to please others. On the other hand, if you think India is also an 'other', that's another story though.

When sitting in a commentary box everyone needs to sound neutral but not many do. Being PIOs sure the two mentioned could potentially go over board in trying to sound neutral but i personally am fine with the way two go about their business.
