Bradman99 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I agree with you marirs he is a bit bias on Australia. But, his general opinions on players I find interesting and constructive. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I like him purely for the fact that he doesnt mince words like most of the other commentators do. For example, when Collingwood was listed as coming in at no.5 (he did, however, end up coming in at no.4), he was extremely critical of him saying that, being the senior batsman of the team, Colly should have volunteered to move up in the order. In Warne’s opinion, this could have shielded the out of form Bopara and the struggling Bell. On the flip-side, like most Aussie commentators, he is rabidly pro-Aussie. The only other Aussie who’s probably even more biased is probably Ian Healy. But Max_Caddy has a good point when he says that it doesn’t matter if a commentator is neutral or not, as long he makes it interesting for the viewer. He only does not mince his words when it comes to english players and non aussie players. When it comes to aussie faults he is as timid as a mouse. I mean he should be ripping in to Hussey, Pontings shocking captaincy and selection etc etc but srangley when it comes to aussies he hardly says jack Link to comment

Thus my point about him being shockingly pro-Aussie in his comments. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I bet shane warne was mad because they left out Hauritz. Link to comment
Guest Gunner Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It's just his personality mate, he's not going to change for anyone. You either like him or you don't, obviously you don't... Well said. Some people need to lighten up around here. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Exactly Lal also has his own personality and likes talking about widlife. People also need to lighten up in his regard as well Link to comment
Lord Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 i like him because he is original n doesnt say cliched things n the obvious.but his expertise comes in wen a spinner comes on.yesterday wen Swann was bowling he was encouraging to bowl quicker while others were saying flight the ball.also he wanted Strauss to leave the extra cover open to entice Watson to drive n was mad wen a single was taken.he said spinner should first look to tie up one end n not look for wickets every ball Link to comment

Desi Cartman Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 WTF are you talking about!! I adore Arun Lal. Warne is way behind in the race. The guy pulled desi cartman out of depression on his own! :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: he also nearly made me shoot myself. His umpiring is more like a shock treatment for people interested in the game. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I tell you who has been an amazing commentator, who has been eloquent, very fair, wonderfully insightful and been a must to listen to and learn from. And people may be shocked by the name! It is MATTHEW "TYSON" HAYDEN":--D He has been commentating on test match special on the radio. Been superb! Link to comment
