[nakibahmed]

These guys have had a huge part in putting character into the modern game,who is your favorite?

[_Rafi_]

Shamim Chowdhury as long as he is out of commentary box!

[Neel Here]

harsha bhogle, boycott, sunny, ian chappell, bishop, robin jackman, david lloyd, akram.

sidhu for laughs !

[MohammedC]

David lloyd, Nasser Hussain, Nick Knight

[nakibahmed]

It'd have to be Ian Chappell for me.He knows what he's talking about,and he calls it right,the stuff he says,and advise from this guy is pure f-ing gold!

Entertainment-wise,tie between Tony Greg and David Lloyd,but Tony Greg was one of the uncountable reasons why i fell in love with the noble game,the good 'ol sharjah days,that was the time when commentary was at it's best!

GODDAMMIT!,forgot to put Harsha on the poll!,D'oh!

[Habib]

I find Harsha Bhogle very annoying & overrated. Sidhu is a [..].

[magic boy]

...He has been an entertainment during innings break. nothing sounds more interesting than his TV presence hehe

[Ajfar]

^^ Jafarullah Sarafath is the Man.

[_Rafi_]

I find Shastri and Danny Morrison very annoying...khamokhai chilla chilli kore kan fatay!
Harsha "the greatest cricket Pundit" Bhogle, Laxman Shiva, Arnold are clowns.

[Neel Here]

I agree about shastri, he is very boring.

what makes harsha the best IMO is that he keeps his own opinions to a minimum and gets the best cricketing knowledge out of his fellow commentators who are mostly ex-cricketers. you will notice that he rarely passes opinions but prefers to spur on the co commie by asking incisive questions. he is very good at it.

[shakibrulz]

Bumble, Gower, Holding.
Benaud is the big daddy of all the commentators.

[shakibrulz]

Shastri, Harsha Bhogle, Wasim Akram, Laxman Siva, Manjerekar, Ramiz Raja - these arre the suckers

Harsha don't have a clue about things and his voice sounds you-know-how
Sunny (though I don't like him much), is the best of subcontinent coms.

[shakibrulz]

By the way I loved Waqar Younis' commentary. Man he was a riot

he doesn't have a clue ? okay, if you say so.
even putting away my views for a moment, I've seen(heard) him making cricketing points that have been strongly appreciated by people like boycott. now whatever you say, I'm not going to value your evaluation more than boyc's.
as for his voice, that has been his stronger point, contrary to what you say. after all he ain't the most telegenic. when Ind were touring aus back in 90's I've read more than one fawning report in aussie media about his 'sexy voice'. may be you are too young to remember the 90's ?

[Habib]

^Maybe that kind of voice was considered sexy in 90s. Now it's considered gay.

[Neel Here]

well, as a guy I've absolutely no opinion about his voice, couldn't care less.

[al-Sagar]

harshas name should be there. also i loved arun lal. no boycott ???

Yeah a bit too young but that aint the point here. His "I Just wonder/get the feelings" annoys the crap outta me. I've never loved his oversimplified commentary, it is tolerable compared to the mighty Lal and Laksham duo, or even Ramiz raza.

I'm just rating him as a commentator, he's a pretty decent writer. Commentary is not just about making fair points, even I can make a few good points - but that doesn't make me a good commentator now, does it? (harsha style )
