Going out on a limb for one last time on the subject of in-game commentary, I vividly remember watching one of the games from the last U-19 World Cup between Lord knows what teams. Ironically, Rameez had been in the joint for a while, which I hadn't noticed due to the cotton stuffed inside my ear lobes. When I voluntarily took them out, he was actually criticizing a fielder for dropping a dolly and players who were playing the game, in general. And it was not just critizing for the sake of critizing, he was very rough on the players of both teams and tossed a pile of nasty comments, one after the other. I was in shock after I heard his choice of words.
I don't know anything about cricket, and I didn't know who he was until I saw him in my town, apparently he lives here, which i find a bit bizzare because i live in a small remote town in the north of england, any way he seems stuck up.
He's pretty annoying - the unfortunate thing is that he's been commentating for close to 6 years now and he hasnt improved - other commentators like Shastri, Ian Chappell, etc learn new ways to keep the viewers interest whereas Ramiz has stayed the very same and hasnt improved.....the other major problem with him is that he commentates on ALL of Pakistan's games and as such its overkill...because 1) he doesent improve his commentary style and 2) he shows up everywhere so there isent any respite!
Ramiz is not that bad. He has his flaws but atleast he knows cricket. He was the head of PCB so had insight into selection mistakes or opportunities.
On occasions I've hated some things he said as well. However, lets not put down the one and single Pakistani commentators on the front today who can string a few nice words into a sentence and not make stupid gramatical mistakes.
He needs to improve. So who doesn't.
