For someone who played in Kerry Packer's league, this is somewhat odd. his dismissal of t20 as not cricket is laughable as he had his own stanford t20 league which was a failure. IPL taking off must have contributed to the saltiness. Link to comment

IPL taking off must have contributed to the saltiness. Plus the loss in the 83 WC final. He was the 10th wicket. In some interview, he said that he was confident of chasing down the target despite the fall of 9 wickets. He is possibly still mad at being the last man to get out to the "lowly" team.

He used to refer Indian seamers as medium pacers. India producing fast bowlers may also bother him. I don't think its about WI cricket. Ian Bishop cares more about WI. Bishop has said many a time that IPL has unearthed more WI talent than the WI board. Bishop is more professional (more than silly Bhogle) and has gone through a journalism degree. Much better to listen than old fart holding who many liked for his free flowing accent more than his insights. nevada and ravishingravi 2 Link to comment
Adamant Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Apart from his obvious bias against India he was a pretty good commentator. Good fast bowling insights along with a lot of details about 70s and 80s cricket. sorak and express bowling 2 Link to comment
putrevus Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Bishop is 1000 times more pleasant and insightful than this guy.It is sad that Bishop does not get to do more important series like this guy .Bishop to me is one of the best color commentary guys.

Nikhil_cric Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Posts are a bit unfair to Mikey here. He became somewhat bitter and cynical only after T20's came around. He was a pretty neutral commentator before that . Link to comment

NameGoesHere Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Great bowler, great TV voice, but channeling the one and only Mitch Hedburg: Michael Holding used to be a tool. He still Is, but he used to, too. Link to comment
