Social media votes. No surpises there.  He did a decent job though.

Even in the comments section on FB, UK guys liked him more than others.

I like him in the com box as well.

He just need to control his high pitch because his voice is not deep. But he is miles better than the Indian types.

he is so squeaky voiced. but is far, far better than, say, sanju manju and some others.

[Vivek92]

He is a good commentator, compared to the horrendous drab stuff we had to tolerate in the Srilankan series. 

[Kothili]

Well deserved. Far far better than Manjrekar, Gavaskar, Sivaramakrishnan, Murali Karthik and Bhogle put together.

hussain is not that likeable and athers is rather grumpy. DK is at least rather cheerful

[Ankit_sharma03]

Stick to sky

If he comes here n sits next to the line crappy commenytators we have he ll become same and even network has their pressure to suck up to likes of kohli, dhoni, sachin coz that sells

[Gollum]

Take credit for spotting commentator DK @maniac

 

I think he also praised Nitin Menon during Eng home series, so if he become ICC umpire of the year in the future we know who will take credit @sandeep

So he won't part of the commentary team for rest of the series??

Good on DK. He has been very good. Has a great broadcasting career ahead of him. 

 

Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, who was on the panel during the practice match was quite easy on the ears as well. 

 

If only Star and Sony scouted for the right set of experts and not cheerleaders!
