There has been a sea change in cricket commentaries over the years . Gone are the days when people like Anupam Gulati and Norottam Puri use to commentate on Television but they were switch over from Radio commentary and therefore it reflected on the quality of their commentating.

With so many differrent sports channel coming in to existense over recent years the competetiveness over the quality of telecast has increased which has also resulted in channels demanding a good experts panel in their respective commentary boxes. Further this has also provided an opportunity of an alternate career for cricketers after retirement.

Ex cricket commentators like -
Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi shastri, Ian chappel, Ian Bishop, MIchael Holding, Geofrey Boycott, Sanjay Manjrekar, Tony Greig, Naseer Husain, Rameez Raja, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Angus Frazer, Ian Botham ........... and there might be others as well

The Question is out of all the commentators who is the best and worst commentators and the reason for it.

Hilarious article Laughing

Quote:

A misfield would result in, "Amarnath should be sacked immediately", causing my young mind to conjure up pictures of BCCI officials hurriedly running on to the field to convey the bad news to Jimmy, who would then sadly trot off and play no further part in the match
