[drainpipe32]

If you could have a commentary team made up of commentators from around the world, who would be your first XI?

This includes Radio and TV.

Gaz's Spaz XI

Justin Langer
Bill Lawry
Damien Martyn
Ian Botham
Tony Greig
Peter Roebuck
Ian Healy+
Richie Benaud*
Shane Warne
Michael Holding
Jonathan Agnew

12th Man: Harsha Bhogle

I did mine as an actual team, but you don't have to

Cricket Commentators

There's a list to help you out.

 

[McLOVIN]

by their cricketing skills or commentary skills?

commentary wise, they all..well most of them SUCK

MacLovin added 1 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

btw i would put Ravi on that list, he is one of the good 1s.

 

[drainpipe32]

Commentary wise.

Are you kidding me? I can't stand Ravi Shastri!

 

[McLOVIN]

better then half the ppl you mentioned ...

 

[TumTum]

Whatever you choose, just keep Sunil Gavagaskar and Ian Healy out of you list

 

[barto123]

Healy is ok, lawry and chappell are well past their use by dates and should be scrapped. slats can be funny every now and then, gilly and warne are certainly the future of the australian commetry team.

Holding is my all time fav though, his accent is just so awesome

 

[stereotype]

if it is based on cricketing ability then surely Ian Chappell should be considered. Damien Fleming on fox would be up there as a good genuine swing bowler and maybe Mark Waugh and Geoff Lawson as smokeys. Gilly also commentated for a test against the West Indies hopefully he can replace Heals like he did in the national team.

Gee I hate Heals as a commentator, good for either keeping or some body part, apart from that he is a little shallow for talent.

[icyman]

Mark Nicolas ? He is a notable exception from the list mentioned above.

And for God's sake, keep Indian commentators out- Arun Lal ,Sivaramakrishna and Maninder Singh. Also, kick out Ather Ali Khan
