Re: Who is the best Cricket Commentator?

Certainly not Waqar, he can get the worst commentator award though. The guy should take english classes before he grabs the mic again.
And he needs to work on that paindoo accent. He likes to stress on every word that ends on 'd' or 't'.

Its like: Butttteeehh,. whatteeeh, thoughttteeehhh.

[QUOTE]
When Richie Benaud booked himself on to a BBC training course for commentators in 1956, impartiality was drummed into him.

Speaking to me at The Oval, Benaud says: "They hammered the point home to never ever say 'we'. And I never forgot it and it stayed with me for all those years...to say 'we' sounded both stupid and parochial."

The other maxim the BBC taught him was not to say anything in his commentary unless it added something.

"My mantra is: put your brain in gear and** if you can add to what's on the screen then do it, otherwise shut up**."

Re: Who is the best Cricket Commentator?

1) Geoffrey Boycott--For his accent and sometimes Sarcastic sometimes outright "In your face" comments
2) Tony Greig--For the enthusiasm and life he brings to the commentary box
3) Navjot Siddhu-- For his silly yet funny comments/Siddhuisms

Re: Who is the best Cricket Commentator?

I like Mark Nichols too,
Can you find any biased commentator from India? No you can't
But most of the Pakistani commentators are biased?
Why?

Re: Who is the best Cricket Commentator?

Ian Chappell, Sanjay Manjerkar and Ramiz because all three are unbiased.
