Rameez Raja.. A real embarrassment for all in the commentary box!

I can't believe this full of crap thread is still going on. Close it for heaven' sake,
 
List of commentators who are more interested in fifth innings(sledging,racism....) are:

1.Harsha Bhogle(because of his interview with Ganguly in Zimbabwe the Ganguly-Chappel war began).

2.Naseer Hussain(has a strong dislike for subcontinent).

3.Ian Bishop.(Comments more on negative aspects of game)

4.Michael Atherton(Famous for his "aaji-bhaaji" comments during a sledging,has a strong dislike for West Indies and India.)
 
It's not true. It's total rubbish. Nasser is of Indian descent. And I'm not sure what Michael Atherton has done wrong.
 
Both rejected to come to India during separate tours and also rejected offer to commentate in Indian Sports channel.
 
Harsha Bhogle turned down the chance to come to England and commentate for Sky, saying that the place is horrible and the people are idiots. He hates the English and the Australians.

I don't have a source though.....

Look, what we are trying to say is without any evidence we're going to say your comments about Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain are tripe.

Strong opinions those but I doubt any of them are true. Nasser Hussain is of an Indian descent (Chennai born and spent early his childhood in Chennai. His father played Ranji Trophy and Club Cricket for Tamil Nadu/Madras). Ian Bishop seems to be a very balanced commentator and so does Atherton.
Harsha Bhogle tries to bring in the common viewer`s perspective to the game and he is good at initiating good discussions/arguments on the technical aspects from his fellow commentators. He forms an especially good pair with Ian Chappel on ESPNSTAR.

Again. Both were in India doing commentary during the 2006 England Tour of India.

Ah. Thanks very much.

I've read it now and it seems Atherton refused to commentate in India because of the politics.
