India v West Indies

[carey]

Does anyone know who this f#*king commentator is during this series is? He is the most annoying bloke ever worse than Healy, Fleming and Slater all put together!

[Squids]

I am guessing its either Gavaskar, Bogle or Shastri. They could not be any more biased .

[carey]

I've just heard it was Navjot Sidhu (spelling) I remember him but wow he is the worst commentator I've ever heard!

Every home sides commenters are biased as no different here in Australia

[Jim05]

Shastri is the worst by a fair bit

[Aerie]

Bogle is hilarious. Him and KOK on ABC always a highlight on an Indian tour of Australia!

[Rik E Boy]

Nothing is worse than Nassar 'axe to grind' Hussain. Wouldn't have minded hearing him wail during the last test. All the good times would have flooded back for him.

I haven't seen a game of cricket on TV for 13 years, but before then it was Benaud. Chappell and co. I thought they did a good job of covering the other perspective and were only slightly biased to Australia, so it used to be great when Laurie would come on with his unrestrained cheering for all things Australian and esp Victorian.
I have little idea how things are today, but I saw a few YouTube vids with Indian commentators, and I hope that isn't the global standard now.

Why would you care? Question..what do you watch in Summer? Don't tell me you turn the TV *gasp* off!

We don't have cricket in Japan, so during summer we have to watch baseball.
Why do I care? Because someday soon I'll be back in Oz and hopefully enjoying cricket on the box again. I'll get real tired if the commentators are constantly harping on with conviction about what they thought happened rather than analyzing the game with a balanced eye. Some of what I've seen on the net could hardly be described as commentating, more so shit stirring and complete whinging would be apt terms.

Welcome home. Bad news mate. Carlton are as crap as Sturt now.

That may be so, but I'd rather a brief period of non success and follow the "Blues", than "Catslegs".
