No Bish No, Not Again

Low blow to Vusi his fellow commentator. I saw him pUt his tail behind his leg when in company of the the Big 3 commies but for others, including his countrymen he is arrogant.

Because Vusi disagrees with, he goes on the offensive accusing Visu Sabada of not knowing what he is talking about.

Visu Sabada, said as a batter you know when you nick it, Bish said no way, Visu offered his rationale, Bish got mad dog angry that Visu Sabada had the nerve to offer a rebuttal, he went on to viciously attack him, speaking all over him and then told him your problem is you are too damn young to know better.

Brother, I heard the entire commentary. IMHO Bish was very restrained. Visu Sibanda if he listened to a play back of his statements will admit that he was contradicting himself.

Bish was very lenient and I applaud him for this.

The argument went like this: It's not all the time a fieldsman takes a catch that he knows it...and the discussion morphed into this: It's not all the time that a batsman knows that he has knicked the ball.

Bish relied on the Joe Root incidents when Rooty firstly reviewed straight away, a decision of the umpire, who gave him out caught behind and it was indeed out. Bish said further, in the same series Root again was given out and he (Rooty) did not review it and the technology proved it NOT OUT.

There was absolutely no arrogance on the part of Bish...just a meek retort and a firm conviction.

And before I forget, Bish never used the words "damn young."

How can you even argue this?

Answer: Only a novice commentator...

Luckily for Sibanda...Bish is no Courtesy. Bish is humble to the extremes.

big grin

Bish felt the young man had no damn right to an opinion and the irony is Bish was correct in the nicking it is just his attitude stinks

The late Tony Cozier passed the torch on to Michael Holding.He is the bossman behind the mic - the most knowledgeable and respected cricketer.

Whenever Bishop, Fazeer, or Mason is commentating while I am watching cricket, I just mute the audio.

I just cannot be bothered with those three...

Yes he is.

Mikey is boss and I also like Faz and Bish.
My bone with Bush is he is too aggressive and nasty with his fellow windians and today with Sabada, but when in commentary with the Brits, Indians and Aussies he is cool like a cucumber to the point of being timid

You are being arrogant and argumentative.

Bish never is

Watched it they wete just poking fun at each other.

 
Emir 2017-10-22 08:18:22 

In reply to Scar

I can see why you will say that, but see the look in Sabada face when Bish you the age card, it wasn't all fun and poking.

A few years ago Bish was spoke to by the producers for a similar conduct.
