Gavaskar and Harsha not part of ESS commentary team for Ind-Aus series

[SachDan]

For the first time ESPN-Star will broadcast a major India series without these two in the commentary box! ESS Commentators Ravi Shastri Sourav Ganguly Ian Chappell Tom Moody Wasim Akram Jason de la Pena

I don't mind Sunil Gavaskar exclusion that much but Harsha Bhogle shud have been there. He really knows his job well. He will be a real crucial factor on this tour. What a pathetic decision BTW by BCCI

And no Russel arnold as well. He is a real headache

[SachDan]

I'm not a fan of Harsha's ball-by-ball commentary but he's as good as anyone for analysis shows. Will be missed big time :(

yep and and its always good to hear wht wasim is saying abt bowlers.. and ganguly would fight it out even while doing commentary LOL he is much better than other india commentators imo atleast he is interesting would improve his speaking skills with experience :P

Gavaskar and Bhogle are both good. I dont know why they've been left out. Maybe busy doing some other work ? I hate Akram's commentary. The guy cant speak a single sentence in English without stuttering. Great player but poor commentator. Saurav Ganguly is excellent when he is giving expert opinions in the pre/post match presentation but as a live commentator, he can be a bit dull. He'll probably improve with more experience though. Dont care much about Moody's commentary but Alan Wilkins is very good.

He is shifted to Radio commentary, had tweeted about it a few days back.

[Old guy]

dont forget stoned shastri when shastri is stoned he makes things happen! lmao i remeb last series in australia when ever he was on air 2-3 wickets fell :P

[vamos_rafa]

Sunny's insights are excellent when he's not having orgasms about Sachin's records. Harsha's post match analysis would be filled in ably by Wilkins who is as good as him. Steve Waugh should be intersting. I like Waz as well, his English may be poor but he speaks his heart out.

[Magneto]

Wasim and Ganguly work well as a pair.

waugh and ganguly commentating together..there are gonna be 2 competitive matches going on one at ground other in commentary box LOL

[SachDan]

Harsha Bhogle is a freelancer now, might be the compensation package issue that resulted in him being overlooked for the first time by ESS. Harsha will be commentating for ABC radio though.

Wasim and Ganguly work well as a pair.

hope these guy will only work for indian audience :P

[SachDan]

He is shifted to Radio commentary' date=' had tweeted about it a few days back.[/quote'] Seems like it was a forced "shift"..reading his tweets, it's obvious he too is disappointed.

Hope Ganguly doesn't turn up late for commentary seeing Waugh.

[f.b.m]

Anyone know who the commentators for Ch 9 are?

[asterix]

I always thought that 'Motormouth' Harsha was more suited for Radio Commentry..

[Needforspeed]

Ganguly's comments are very refreshing. Sunny talks too much in cliches...knowlege-wise he is good. Shastri is a must..Strong supporter of the Team India. Glad that Sanjay Manjrekar & Harsha Bogle are not there.
