I wish Bishop would reserve some of that for our players.

@WalterWhite

Bish is getting quite irritating an tedious...I know of no other countries commentators that salivate so much about the opposition!!

Mon, Aug 3, '26 at 5:45 PM

I thought it was just me but I am glad to see that others have noticed. Bish is one of my favourite commentators, however, even though I know he loves the West Indies, it often seems like he is more so in support of our opposition.

@Windiesfan78

I just dnt know what it is with him....is he looking fuh props fuh being the most impartial?.....can you imagine an English or Aussie carrying on like he ?....his constant hyperboles beyond a joke now....everybody knows he articulates well an is quite well educated but does anybody give a f**k!!!

@CCW

We all know that commentators aren't supposed to be biased but they normally will show a large level of loyalty to their former team. I found when Bish first started as a commentator, he would give credit to both sides equally. Now, it seems like he wants the opposition to be successful and keeps speaking about how their bowlers can take wickets. Just as you stated, the Aussies and English clearly show which team they support and can be highly insulting when it comes to our team.

@Windiesfan78

Maybe he felt he went OTT with his RTN all dem years ago an hence felt he had to redress the balance ....but he's gone way too far the other way to the point of being embarrassing!!

I also think it is a wonderful innings so far from a class batsman ....

Mon, Aug 3, '26 at 7:56 PM

Bishop can do his do. It's his prerogative. I may just choose to switch off when he's on. All I need is someone else in the commentary booth who will bigup our guys.

@Kay

Babar is a classy batsman

Mon, Aug 3, '26 at 9:21 PM

Overblown exaggerated post. Did you.guys listen the commentary when Shamar was bowling dung Oz, Bumble describing RTN 6's before handing over to Bish?

Your West Indies is struggling

you need someone to blame

suddenly you feel everyone is against you

even your best and fairest commentator

You start blaming him for not praising your guys enough

For praising the opposition too much

For giving away state secrets

For out weaknesses

For stating the bleeding obvious

I like Bish but….

Bish can do his thing but…

Bish is impartial but…

Bish praises our guys but…

jokers

No doubt...Babar inning very good....

As far as Bishop is concerned.....

Visiting Team usually used to hire ex-players to give few inputs about players, conditions etc.....Even in this age of AI....just see how many teams hires South African players before World Cup...

Bishop would never get to commentary box, if he was Indian, Aus, Eng or South Africa or even kiwi or Pakistan...but West Indies Board, which had issues with legendary Cozier, Fazeer.....is o.k. with Blow Big Bishop

I'm not sure why Bish gets criticised so much, in my view he's doing a marvelous job.
