Dominic Cork

[goose]

Dominic Cork is an ex-England player currently commentating as a 'neutral' on an India series. I can't ever recall that happening in my lifetime. I wonder what the BCCI saw in him? Maybe he commentates on the IPL.

 

Anyway the point i would to make is that he is sh%t. Inept and lacking in imagination and vocabulary when Ajaz took his 10th wicket. Just in the last few seconds another gem from him as the broadcast shows an aerial shot of Mumbai -  'Mumbai a beautiful city, look at it, we could be anywhere'.

 

He is diabolical.

I thought he meant that Mumbai looks like any modern city anywhere in the world from an aerial view.

also a man of principle

 

 

2009 - Dominic Cork when he was working as a commentator on the Pakistan v Sri Lanka series in Pakistan "I won't be coming back here while I'm still living, there is no chance"

in other words it sounded condescending. Atleast to me. Not clear what he meant. what did he mean 'could' be anywhere? because its in india? 3rd world looking like a first world city?

They always bring some random English or guy as an analyst or commie regardless of opposition.  General assumption in India/Pak I think coz of the accent. 

Sony brings Nick Knight & that Mark Butcher as well. 

I prefer Australians..  Clarke,  Mark Nicholas are amazing in terms of analysis.  A low budget pick like Brendan Julian isn't too shabby either.  BCCI is just an inept organization that has no clue about quality broadcasting. 

For T20Is I'd like to see that Zim dude who was a commie in BD vs Pak series...  He was funny to listen.

They could have asked Holding for one last time and bring him in for some misery instead.
