Ganga, Badree, Bishop, Alex jordan. denny morrison, pommie mbangwa all are great.

They have this new joel guy from yesterday game and nikhil do not seem to have cricket background.

Where is simon doull and mike haysman They are good.

Best commentator for me is pommie mbangwa.

Tony Cozier was the best.

My two favourite comms are: Pommie Mbangwa and Mally Richards.

Keep most of the money local.

Do like me and mute the coverage, when watching.

Ganga and Badree are great commentators? You can't be serious.

What became of Dowling?

Mali Richards is the best cricket commentator in the Caribbean but they will not give home a break. Bishop is tired, has become boring, even arrogant and insular at times. Ganga and Badree have always been insular. Like cricket on the field in the Caribbean, commentary is just as bad.

Ganga batting was best when he batted in the number 4 position check his best scores against Australia, India and Pakistan,since you know that he ain't good then you probably won't know how well he did.I will also remind you,Ganga was pushed to open with Gayle because we didn't have anybody who could hang around with Gaylle for more than an over,Ganga at least hung around for 10,15 and 20 overs while Gayle mash up the opposing bowlers.Ganga is a good cricket commentator,he didn't force Sky to employ him,neither did Badree.

everyone knows ganga wasn't utilized properly. Ganga had perfect technique and was one of the few men on that disastrous SA tour that didn't look intimidated by those SA bowlers. Which goes back to my point that Lara was given a second string team in 1999. There is no plausible explanation as to why ganga was not picked in the starting XIs for any test(even though he was part of the series party) and why surj raggaunath, lincoln roberts and dave joseph were there before him. I told you guys that west indies problems have very little to do with money but almost everything to do with insularity, petulance, an absence of standards and worse of them all, a fair deal of corruption as alluded to by Whispering death in the cricket conference at the POS Hyatt.

But ganga wasn't the only victim....gayle, bravo(s), sarwan, jerome taylor, fidel edwards....a generation of cricketers who came into West Indies team ready to play cricket and compete lost to the stupidity of administrators. Shamar and Jayden are the first two cricketers from the WI in the last 14 years who came into the sport ready. last guy was adrian bharath. it is not by chance that, for example, that the west indies can't chase 256 against a mediocre attack at providence(That is the reason i have not watched a single ball of this year's CPL, I followed the scores but i haven't watched anything live. boycotting). from the moment they destroyed the test careers of gayle sarwan and bravo, it was on the cards. there is no one that can convince me that gayle, sarwan both bravos, tiger and jerome taylor would not have made the basis of a very, very good team and the results were showing that i was right
