Considering that he is not a cricketer himself, I kinda get the starry-eyed fan-boy perspective. What I don't understand is where he got his SA accent. It's a bit jarring.  

No it is not SA accent. IT is just a random accent he picked from various people over the years. Kass Naidoo has really signature south african accent.  It is somewhat closer to British accent. But it has a tinge of Afrikaan. Harsha's accent is 90% Indian accent.

I don't really mind his accent. But he has not played even Ranji trophy. He looks like a novice when others who have played test cricket for their country speaks about technicalities of batting and bowling. He cannot add value in these discussions. He is better of doing jokes and talking random things in the commentary box. He is fine though to conduct toss. Needs to be kept away from after match presentation, there too he shows lack of cricketing things when he asks the questions.

Hello Sooda, old bean.

Long time indeed. I lurk around the forum but don't post much these days. I keep an eye on this thread but: 

Hope all is well on your end.
