Joel is good. Hea coming into his own. He is the one who covers the regional tourney and is making a name for himself. First stint on CPL. He doesn't come off to be trying to hard which is good. Man deserve a chance to grow. Mali Ruchards too deserves a shot as well

Yes, that’s the problem with Ganga and Nikhil! They always seem to be trying too hard to impress!

Ganga lost me when he said Lara asked him to shield him from specific bowlers. He does chat too much foolishness. The Bajan youngster was not too bad, has great enthusiasm and we need to give the youths a chance. They need to look at Kesrick Williams who is very entertaining, has good knowledge of most of the current players and also the game. Mali is good but would like to hear him in Test Cricket.

Agreed on Alex in the comm box.

She, and Mali Richards, are miles ahead of the current CPL crew. Ganga is the fcuking worst there is right now.

Is there a correlation in the decline of West Indies cricket and the thinning out of world class commentators from the West Indies?

One of my favorite was M Holding.

Well cozier did die the year Jason Holder put his team in to bat first at lords in very overcast conditions. Maybe. And Mikey called it quits two years after that……I think he came out in 2020 for the covid series in England where he delivered that master class on racism

Yeah, I listened to Kesrick briefly on a youtube stream one time and he was very good. His colleagues, not so much.

BTW, Stacy who 'doesn't like to fly' is one of the best commentators in the region. She did the women's T20 and List A competitions. She was the only commentator apart from Shakera Selman, who I also like, to the know the WI women's players.
