BERGKAMP Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 :hatsoff: to these 2 guys for their commentary. I love listening to them , they are insightful, honest, respectful and critical without going over the top when needs be. It's a pity they usually only work in the West Indies and not in more overseas series.
Switchblade Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Ian Bishop isnt too bad either IMO i had said this duing the ODI series that in general Commentary have been good
phaedrus Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Yup, Ian Bishop is very good. Fazeer reminds me of what Harsha used to be before he became an 'expert'
Sachin=GOD Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 These two are good but some of the others seem to take out all their frustration against the BCCI/IPL and the bad state of Windies cricket while doing commentary.
saneindian Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 The entire commentary team has been good so far including SMG. Haven't forced me to watch matches with the TV on mute like is the case many a times.
phaedrus Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 almost all test commentary teams outside the subcontinent are good to listen to. well, south africa not as much.
King Tendulkar Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 almost all test commentary teams outside the subcontinent are good to listen to. well' date=' south africa not as much.[/quote'] England, Aus and SA are awful. So bias. Its almost as if they are think the players can hear their sledging. Kiwis comms are a joy. Windies are great to, especially Dujon, legend. I remember one game a dog run on the pitch, he said " I have had many a dog im my time":hysterical: The broadcaster cut of and apologised in the studio for his comments:hysterical:
phaedrus Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 England, Aus and SA are awful. So bias. Its almost as if they are think the players can hear their sledging. true. especially considering most of 'em were ex cricketers, it must be a habit thats hard to get rid of. the first 2 groups are still fun. the english do joke around quite a bit and the aussies are full of energy.
Switchblade Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Sadly for the tour of England we have to listen to Bhogle and Manjrekar :((
Sachin=GOD Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Sadly for the tour of England we have to listen to Bhogle and Manjrekar :(( at least the telecast is on Star Cricket so we won't have to endure this pathetic Ten cricket on the England tour.
deepak_sach Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Bhogle is OK But Manjrekar tries to be too neutral: Here are his always pathetic,boring ,monotonous commentary makes everyone go to sleep,says the same thing again and again.Always tries to play down any series not telecasted on Star saying that it will be boring or india wont gain anything out of the series.Who the hell is he to say that. He always said: 1.India bowling is weak 2.India cannot win the world cup 3.Munaf Patel is injury prone 4.And was overhyping the chokers SA.
BeautifulGame Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 WI commentators are always top class.Even in England tours Michael Holding is the only one worth hearing.Kiwis are pretty good too.Everyone else (including Indian) are just awful.
Cricket Tragic Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I HATE Bhogle. So glad that I don't have to hear that moron anymore. Tbh, no Indian commentator is world class. Shoutstri is half decent compared to the rest. Says it all.
phaedrus Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I HATE Bhogle. So glad that I don't have to hear that moron anymore. +1
gaurav92 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Yes they have been good. I think everyone has been good and only bore to me has been Sunny :(
saneindian Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 This has to be the first India series(home or away) in many years in which Ravi Shastri hasn't been commentating.
The Outsider Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Tbh, no Indian commentator is world class. Shoutstri is half decent compared to the rest. Says it all. Gavaskar is the best, IMO. He has his pressure points where he repeats similar things, but he does offer genuine insight. He also makes an attempt to get the bowlers point of view and thought process when he is with someone like Bishop. Shastri has become the absolute pits of commentary ever since IPL started - he carries the same tone and blabbering into all matches now.
