Who are going to be the commentators for the WC? From the little I saw of the Aus-Ind game, I know about Bhogle, Manjreykar and Chappell. But what about the others?

Robin Jackman and Pommie Mbangwa are going from super sport as far as I know.
I guess the same guys will be recycled for the IPL after that. I don't think I can take 3 or 4 months straight of Sanjay's babbling...

I'd be surprised if Tony Greig wasn't there

English commentators easily the best once again. Also really like Robin Jackman and Pommie.
Glad Harsha Boggle won't be doing the games, he is easily the worst commentator in the history of sport. You can feel his fellow commentators cringing behind the mic every time he speaks.
Also Sidhu is probably too busy murdering people to commentate.

Totally agree
Would've preferred Gower over Wilkins though.And Akram's commentating
would love to hear his views on the fast bowelers during the tournament, especially that Junaid kid.

Danny Morrison anyone? 'The Double Ds'.
Double D's = Desperate Danny
Mark Nicolas is commentating, I can't wait.
Would have loved to see the names like Barry Richards and Micheal Holding on the list. A pity they won't be there.
Sourav Ganguly has also been signed up for for the World Cup. He had a pretty decent stint during the CLT20, but I'd say he was a tad nervous back then.
Happy to see no Arun Lal
Utter rubbish !
He is better than a few others put together. Had you voiced the same concerns about Sanjay 'hypocrite' Manjrekar- then,you would have been right. Bhogle is pretty decent.
Sidhu-upping his ante for the elections,busy with his political party- but will come on a few talk shows.
Also, the list of English commentators has been wrongly mentioned in my post- Wilkins is actually a South African and am not too sure about Mark Nicholas.
Is there any way we can write to ESSto let them know that we ain't interested in listening to morons like Manjrekar and Stutter Ali Khan ?

^Agree with you mate. Harsha's babbles on a lot - not the easiest guy to listen to, but it's usually GOOD babble, unlike Sanjay who thinks he's super smart and tries to convey that to the viewers as much as he can by talking constantly. In the end though Sanjay just ends up repeating most of the crap the bad commentators do. Harsha's got a very broad knowledge of the game too which makes his views a bit more balanced.
Mark Nicholas is definitely English. It's just that he gets employed by so many other people you start to wonder where he calls home.
