The Wheel is Forever
I actually like Hussain and Bumble, from what little I've heard from that team. Benaud's still quality too.

Laughed so hard at Waqar's commentary when Danish Kaneria was on a hat-trick vs England.The hat-trick ball came and Geraint Jones was literally plumb lbw but was given not out.
Waqar's commentery
"That's, that's hat-trick!!!.I tell you that is hat-trick".

1 + 2 because I enjoy their commentary, and think they're both very knowledgeable. 3. Because he's a good laugh. 4 + 5 would have to always be on together - apart from each other they get on my nerves but together they're just sheer comedy value, and Nicholas at 6 because listening to commentary would get boring without one of the commentators being so annoying that you get to shout at the tv and rip it out of them.

True. Some things are better left unsaid in certain situations though. Gracious of Richie to say "he was not surprised" rather than what he would have been thinking which would probably be "cheeky so-and-so"

TBH I'm surprised he didn't react similarly to his tantrums on the 12th man.True. Some things are better left unsaid in certain situations though. Gracious of Richie to say "he was not surprised" rather than what he would have been thinking which would probably be "cheeky so-and-so"

Nishant (It was him wasn't it?) is a very brave guy.

That's true, mind you I'm always of the opinion that you should speak your mind. Benaud has probably had to deal with a bit of negative feedback during his commentary days, so I'm sure he was used to those sort of comments.True.

I'm sure the positive feedback far outweighs the negative for him anyway

Oh definately, but I think he probably cops a fair bit of negative stuff as well.
