My only "beef" with Ian Bishop

He is my favourite commentator of all time.

A very humble and nice gentleman.

He's good at what he does.

My only beef with him is that I perceived a biase against Johnson Charles. He always had so much to say about Johno's technique, moreso than anyone else. Meanwhile Chatles was delivering the goods with the poor technique.

He said that Johno didn't have an off side game. He proved to Bish and the doubters that he does have and off side game.


He said Johno faces a lot of dot balls. Had he seen Lendl Simmons? I am not hearing his voice now. That said Johno has improved markedly in that area

This is my only beef wish Bish

Johnson Charles is completely off the radar. what's he up to? Is he working on making a comeback to the team?

Ahhh the obligatory and misleading leader in “I support X, but...”

Other commentators have made unflattering comments about Charles technique also, Fazeer once said he does not know how Charles makes runs.

Well Charles has produced at the world cup level unlike many

Johnson Charles is completely off the radar.

No no, he's a world beater.

If he's off the radar it's by design not based on merit
