You could've put a poll on this. well I like Tony greig. I like the way he talks.

 

[dazza1974]

Its Ian "beefy" Botham for me. He talks alot of sense.

 

[angryangy]

Where's Kerry O'Keefe in all this...

 

[sohum]

My favorite commentator was Navjot Singh Sidhu--even though he didn't talk sense a lot of the time, he was able to entertain the audience listening. If you look at it, commentating is hardly a job if you are simply reiterating what is taking place on TV. Unless you are a radio commentator. That is the difference between a good and a mediocre commentator - the ability to engage the listeners.

Harsha Bhogle and most of the ESPN team is pretty decent, especially on the good tours. A Bangladesh tour will obviously not feature the biggest names.

6.) T.Greg - - just for the excitement he brings

I really hope this is a joke.......

 

[angryangy]

In any case, Richie is better than Ian and Bill is better than Tony. Richie is teh l33t CommentatX0r.
Perhaps they could be given a rating for different qualities, like trivial knowledge, arm chair captaincy, elocution and entertainment value.

 

[Maxkarter]

My Favorites are 1) Geoffrey Boycott
2) Robin Jackman
3) Peter Bacela
4) Hylton Ackerman
My least favorites are 1) Pat Symcox
2) Allan Donald
3) Andrew Hudson

My Favourite Commentator- David Lloyd

My favourite Cricket Commentator is David Lloyd of Sky Sports. He has a wonderful accent, entertaining and knows what he is talking about. He is at the top of my list. Living in England you only see Sky Sports, Channel Four and Nine Network Commentary, so everyone's opinion is going to be different. I do happen to find Tony Grieg an entertaining Commentator, and am thrilled that he will feature in Brian Lara International Cricket.

THE WORST
1.) Vinod Kambli
3.) Venkatesh Prasad
4.) K.Srikkanth
5.) Asif Iqbal/Ranjit Fernando
7.)Waqar Younis
8.)Athar Ali Khan (The BANLADESH fellow)

The stutter team would be a name for the group.
i swear that even close dream job contestants are better than ather ali khan.

any how u missed out on navjot singh sidhu.rest i like the espn team. and for international fellas, micheal holding is not bad though.

 

[sohum]

I don't really like David Lloyd. Most of the time he seems to biased towards England. And then there are periods when he tries to show himself to be impartial when he goes on to insult everything that England is doing.

 

[indiancricketer]

These are my four favourite commentars... they make the game more intersting than than the rest

Ravi Shastri
Ian Chappel
B.Lawry
Richie Benaud

 

[SaiSrini]

Mine is certainly Navjot Singh Sidhu. He is a funny character in the commentary box. Always making some funny comments! I like him a lot.

 

[Sureshot]
