Terrible Poll son, you've missed my favourite and clearly the best...........Mickey Holding.

Went for Bumble. Enjoy most of the English guys. Actually love Boycott. Can remember a couple of times during the 2005 Ashes when Australia dropped catches in the cordon and Boycs was laughing so hard, cracked me up. Slater was with him saying "settle down Boycs". Was very funny.

Ian Chappell- listening to him always so interesting. He is strongly opinionated and adds excellent depth to the broadcast when he starts talking about his personal experiences.

Nasser Hussain- in his early days came across as a biased and opinionated commentator- but in the last 3 years has been awesome. Very fair and impartial- also has good knowledge about players from other countries.

Allan Border- so impartial and professional it is untrue- can't believe he used to be called "captain grumpy" since these days he comes across so cool, calm and collected.

I'd twist the motive behind this thread and go with the Zimbo Pommy Mbangwa. Severely underrated commentator.

The best commentators to have ever called the game were Allan McGilvray, John Arlott, Christopher Martin Jenkins,Keith Miller and Bob Simpson

I think he was during the recent series.

Not voting on the poll because the standard of commentary outwith the Sky team is utterly terrible. Benaud and Warne the only 2 on the list that are passable and Warne's terrible when he's in the box for Channel 9 or ESPNStar.

I'll probably get slated for this but I also really like Kerry O'keefe........funny funny man. Always look forward to him and Aggers together for an Ashes series in Oz.

agree with the above.

Geoff Boycott is my favorite. The English commentators are really good. I really like the way David Gower speaks. Sounds so aristocratic.

But Boycott for me, unfortunately he is not on the panel.

How can you have the likes of Russell Arnold in there and not have Boycott and Holding?

No Harsha Bhogle, but Bumble comes in second best I guess. This forum seems to hate most commentators(or is it just GF?), but tbh having watched cricket all my life I find I can follow the game just as well as they can call it, so the light hearted ones or the strongly opinionated ones always take the cake for me. I never seem to find commentary banter annoying.
