When Ian Bishop is on commentary his analysis, especially of the bowlers is second only to Mikey. Moreover, his ability to convey what bowlers are doing in simple language makes for easy and pleasurable listening.

But it is his cricket politics that appears to be getting radical: He comes across as a defender of India's cricket politics and he appears to get all flustered to every little perceived slight that comes the Indian team's way.

For example, a couple fans in Jamaica were giving Bumrah some harmless picong during the second innings of West Indies batting. When he finally took a wicket on day 4, Kohli's antics at the fans were disgraceful and unbecoming of the captain.

Instead of Bishop calling him out, he instead went into a tirade about why fans should come into a stadium to do "these things."

There is more, prior to the 4th day, fans and analysts alike were discussing dubious Bumrah's action, well Mr Bishop took great offense, when no one required him to, he became a defense attorney for the BCCI and Bumrah in defending his action. Mind you Bishop is not a Bio-Mechanics expert.

All throughout, Bishop tone and language was that of subservience to the Indian cricket team and other Indian commies.

If anyone had any doubt about Bish's two tongue tone, just listen to him when he is joined by other West Indian commies and when dissing West Indian fans- yes the few of us remaining for Test cricket, at times he is abusive and arrogant.

Viv Richards was no better- but I will say no more about that Individual.

You can't take the licks!!! Man up and work on your team's failures and stop complaining.

This is simply not true.

Bish is as professional as they come. He lauded the Indians performance, and the results support their game. If a team is doing well, there is nothing wrong is saying so...otherwise you will look like a buffoon. Bish is doing a sterling job, and so are all the other comms.
Murali Kartik is a revelation. Articulate, fair, and balanced.

Bish is a beloved commie across the world. Much like how Bumrah is berated only by WI fans, Bishop is also berated only by WI fans.

These "WI fans" want Bish to put lipstick on a pig.

Won't change a darn thing. Eh eh...that ain't gwin' happen me boy.

Well you want him to say something that is not true by any stretch of imagination. You probably can take your case to Richards, Ambrose, Garner, Lloyd and i bet they would say the same thing.
