Sachin=GOD Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Another one I like is Alan Wilkins and he's good in both cricket and tennis. Link to comment
Sid Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 ^ Is Charles Colvile still with SKY? he used to be their regular presenter.. Still covers domestic matches,seen him commentate in England's Domestic ODI and T20 tournament Link to comment
Watson87 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sky commentators are the best, even though they bash India most of the time, there is certain truth to it and less biasness compared to Sunny Gavaskar, Ravi and Chappel. Link to comment
Pak_Fan_4_Eva Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nasser Hussain Mike Atherton Michael Holding Sourav Ganguly (he has a very deep insight) Mark Taylor Ramires (The legend):winky: Overall I guess the English take the cake for being excellent observers of the game. I really enjoy listening to their commentary Link to comment
VRV Singh Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nick Knight is very good, I agree Nasser can be good but more for interviewing the players because he actually asks thoughtful questions...see for example him grilling Pietersen. Generally the Sky bunch are the best around and put their coverage of other sports to shame e.g. football. One of the only intolerable ones is that miserable **** Bob Willis. I thought we would have a World Cup free of his irritating cynicism but there he is, next to Sir Aggy lamenting life Link to comment

yoda Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Saurav Ganguly has been awesome so far. Right now, I would rate him the best amongst Indians followed by Ravi Shastri. Link to comment

Ultimate_Game Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Don't know what the big deal is about Ganguly... his commentary is all stilted and he sounds all unnatural in the commentary box. Plus I haven't really heard any great insights from him like Benaud or Holding. I prefer Gavaskar and Shastri over Ganguly anyday. Link to comment

Plus I haven't really heard any great insights from him like Benaud or Holding. I prefer Gavaskar and Shastri over Ganguly anyday. Ganguly as a commentator is really bad IMO. He stutters and has to constantly search for words and gives a ball by ball description of play, which is really not required in TV commentary. But he is quite good in the pre/post match show and should concentrate more on that. Link to comment
riwi999 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I do not know a whole lot of commentators but from the ones I've heard: The ones I likë: Richie Benaud Nasser Hussain Mike Atherton Ian Chappell Rameez Raja Sanjay Manjrekar Alan Wilkins The ones I don't like: Ravi Shastri Sunil Gavaskar Bob Willis Neutral: Saurav Ganguly (tbh not really impressed right now, but early days for him, so I'll give him a break) Harsha Bhogle (wish he wouldn't talk SO much, that alone might make me like him) Tony Greig Arun Lal I don't know enough about Bill Lawry but I see a lot of people here seem to rate him.

achilles Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Charu Sharma Maninder Singh Arun Lal Laxman Shivaramakrishnan Ranjit Fernando Brad Hogg Jinxing them too? :rotfl: Link to comment
vamos_rafa Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, MArk Taylor-> These 3 are superb. I used to like Robin Jackman as well but his biased views this summer have left my liking in a bad taste. Sunny is superb i believe. Nasser, David Gower and Tom Moody. David Lloyd makes it a bit interseting. Wasim bhai may not have the best of english but his knowledge is invaluable and he's unbiased which IMO is a pre-requisite. Link to comment
Zelig Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Richie Benaud Ian Chappell Ian Smith Barry Richards David Lloyd, Bill Lawry are more of a color commentator to me :beee: PS: Anyone else thinks Tom Moody sounds like King Colin Firth :hmmm: Link to comment
Gunner_Mania Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Charles Colville does primarily domestic games and the review during highlights of the England tests & ODIs with Bob willis. Agree with BB, Nick Knight is brilliant. He again primarily does ODIs, T20 and Domestic cricket. Link to comment
DeadMan Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I like Tony Greig and David Lloyd Link to comment
