He and Ian Bishop are two of the best. They actually spend time analyzing technique/strategy. Their commentary isn't as great when working a series in which we are involved because our commentators are mostly useless. When I watch NZ vs X or WI vs Y those two are always great.

He is definitely one of my favorites since some time now. Also quite shrewd in his commentary and often highlights any strategic field placements during the match that other commentators tend to miss.

He is Sanju-Manju's partner in crime .Sunil Gavasker has to pull both of them back from drifting conversations about taxi's and selfies.

And make them talk about centuries   :giggle:

Yeah...

But atleast it's about cricket. Who give a fudge about their first selfie or how they drove to that stadium that morning...

Manju's wife must have instructed him to convey to her, via commentary, about what he has been upto outside the commentary box.    :giggle:

The only thing that I think of when I hear  Simon Doull is the 97-98 India tour to NZ where he totally decimated our team with his swing bowling. He domincated the entire Indian batting throughout the test series and it was a pathetic batting display by the Indian team (  which was a regular feature from Indian team during those times ) , Srinath was the only saving grace as he bowled super express pace. And I remember the NZ and Indian commentators saying' Look at the kind of pace Srinath is generating'.. He touched 150 even in this series, 152 to be precise, but ofcourse theres no official record to it.

I hated Fleming during his playing days.  He was an arrogant, aggressive git.  But I like him as a commentator.  

Isnt that what he was supposed to be? How do you think opposition would see Ganguly as?
