Yeah but Bishop has blind support for some players...but not others...yuh done know his favourites...and even tho he tries to camouflage it...it is glaring

yep i called him out for that already and he got angry

he is extremely biased...ppl say he good but if they listen to him he bawls for certain players and keeps silent or criticizes those he doesnt like

In the last World Cup another commentator asked him why Jason Holder was not picked and he suddenly developed an acute case of laryngitis…exposing his biases in the process.

On a different note, today there was some small talk about favorite cream in the booth. He was asked about his favorite flavor, given the hot topic of a certain coach’s weakness for ice cream, he was probably relieved to not be on the air at the time.

I remember that deafening silence re Harsha Bogle's question. I like his analysis on players.
However, I was stunned when he attacked us the listening public by saying anyone out there who
claims Bhumrah was 'boomeranging' FLINGING ought to be ashamed and take a look in the mirror!!

'so far anyway' big grin

 
doosra 2022-09-04 18:16:58 

"so far"

 
doosra 2022-09-04 18:22:12 

"which could"

"still doesn't guarantee"

"let's not take that out of the equation"

"that should be all"

"i am not saying they gonna get it, if, just if"

As bad as you say Bish is, he is the best we have right now…true or false?
Look, the problem isn’t Bishop. It’s the lack of quality of the remaining lot!

Bish is my favourite commentator. He loves the W.I as well as Trinidad and is extremely professional. He gives credit where it is due and if it is a close game, he is one of the best to bring the match home. If not for Bish, Carlos would never have the nickname RTN lol.
