Poll - Best commentators For Cricket 2006/7

[Octavius]

select your favourite commentator. (sorry about spelling mistakes its my secretary's day off :P)

choose your two man team and feel free to express opinions below in posts.

Apologies if i missed your favourite commentator, but vote in the others column and post here who that person is, on the current list of commentators there are about 20+ and i could only select 12 including an "others" for the poll, i have tried to have a cross selection, but i might have missed some.

why is this in Cricket 2005 forum ??

 

[Cricketman]

Should move this thread.

I like Sanjay Mangrekar and Ravi Shastri.

 

[Octavius]

my apologies, the poll is for who you would like to see as the commentators in the next version of cricket 2005 ... going to be 2006 or 7.

 

[jkartik]

removed the other (dead) thread and renamed this as " Best commentators For Cricket 2006/7 "

P.S - IMO, The Closing date for the poll is very short "25th January 2006"
do you want me to extend it or remove it ?

 

[Octavius]

cheers mate, remove it if thats ok, thanks, and thanks for changing the topic i figured people wqould realise i meant for cricket 2006-7 but ah well :P

The ultimate would be have a commentator (or 2) from each country, and they represent their country in there games.

 

[cricket doctor]

Well, basically to make the game more interesting there should be more than 2 commentators in c2006. (There's definitely going to be c2006 because its an annual series now.)

but my 2 choices would be Paul Allot and Bill Laury.

 

[FreddieFan]

Individually, they're both good but as a team Michael Slater and Michael Atherton are excellent to listen to. I don't really mind who's in, as long as it isn't Boycott!

Ya, I too actually won't mind who's in. They all are great commentators.
M. Holding, Gavaskar,Shastri..... all are genius. but in c2006 there should be at least 4 of them, if not more than that. :onpc

 

[Octavius]

looks like Richie and boycott have the nod as the two man team so far, i like the idea of 4+ commentators they could have revolving commentators much like real cricket, which would add a lot of depth to the game and playing over long periods would be fun.

and id also like to see a lot more anecdotal story's from the commentators like richie talking about the time he got hit in the head trying to hook and carted off to hospital, those add a lot of spice to the atmosphere.

 

[Hariz]

Well any Commentator other than Benaud will do for me .......Tony Greig is a fantastic commentator, I like his enthusiasm and energy.
Well they could record the same comments in different voices and then the user could select a pair to use in his matches. For e.g like Ramiz Raja/S.Manjrekar, Boycott/Botham or something like that would increase the variety.........

 

[Octavius]

thats a good idea

whats wrong with Richie??? lol

i guess hes been there so long, it could be nice for a change, but some of us (probably a bit older than some, hes like the hallmark of cricket game commentators going back to cricket 97.

i like tony grieg a lot too, and geoff boycott talking about ground strokes.

 

[mehkar]

I think this time Ea needs to include over 6 commentators .This thing is now not new for the cricket games b/c Last year BLIC2005 released which had approx 6 commentators.
But for this option In my mind Tony grieg/ micheal holding/bill Lawry/ramiz raza/sajay Majeraker and jim maxwell are best

 

[nikhil_99]

At least 4 commentators should be there ...min
