Like Kelli Underwood?
Do we banish Ned Hall or Simon Hill from the airwaves because there's not a English team playing in the A League?
Alison Mitchell is doing a very good job and is probably there because 1) She's a woman 2) Has experience in cricket commentary and 3) I'm guessing that the BBC and ABC have some working arrangement and for all we know the BBC could be paying half her wage out here and thus saving the ABC a buck or two.
There is no rule that says the commentators have to be from the particular countries participating but i got to admit before foxtel got the overseas broadcast listening to the overseas commentary with blokes such as Tony Cozier, Harsha Bhogle, Bumble really gave the radio coverage that feel and amercement of the tour at hand.
