sourab10forever Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 During his playing days, Rahul Dravid was the perennial good boy of cricket. In the commentary box at the World Cup however, the former Indian captain donned a different hat and indulged in banter with fellow commentators regularly. Former England captain Nasser Hussain was at the receiving end of Dravid's quick wit. Hussain (on India's unbeaten run en-route the quarter-finals): They're peaking too early aren't they? Are you worried Rahul that your boys are peaking too early? Dravid (with an obvious reference to England's exit): Nasser, it's better to peak early than not to peak at all. You have to peak early to make the quarter-finals actually. That's kind of the rule of the tournament. Shane Warne, the other commentator chipped in: I don't think you were expecting that answer, were you Nas? Hussain: Not from Rahul, from you yes, but not from the nicest man in cricket! Dravid: I was sledged all along in the last commentary session about by 2007 stint. I was inching to give it back to someone. Sorry, Nas! Hussain : England gonna win 2019 WC Warne : And how to you say that nas? Hussain : 2011: finalists were the hosts.2015 was also the same.So who do you think the 2019 WC finalists will be?? of course.... Dravid : Ireland vs Scotland:haha:
YCCC Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Pretty much sums up the standard of commentary these days. Just tell us about the bloody game. Sometimes even that's too much when we can see with our very eyes what's going on. Still at least itwas about cricket, usually all Warne talks about is food
Precambrian Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Warne is such ear sore. Not only he interrupts other commentator, he tried to be cool by using totally informal stuff which comes off really badly.

He is a terrible cricket commentator. He should stick to gorging on those dirty rotten pizzas and leave the comm box for people who actually talk about the game.
Sachin=GOD Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Hussain's hatred for India has grown tremendously. Absolutely disgusting commentator.
Precambrian Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Hussain has never really recovered from his now infamous prediction about England becoming the next "invincibles" post the 2011 summer (I think when they became no.1)... Kya panauti!

zep1706 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I like Hussain. I think he is a good commentator and I don't think he hates India. He is someone who calls a spade a spade. Many Indians just don't like it. He also pulls no punches when England aren't playing well.

Many Indians just don't like it. He also pulls no punches when England aren't playing well. +1 I don't understand of how someone who shows us a mirror - Hussain or Warne - suddenly becomes "biased".
Raghav_12 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I like Hussain. I think he is a good commentator and I don't think he hates India. He is someone who calls a spade a spade. Many Indians just don't like it. He also pulls no punches when England aren't playing well. I too like his commentary very much. Not only the way he talks cricket but also his english and accent. Probably my favorite commentator at the moment.
