The_Reaper
Hall of Famer
Living in the UK, I still hear what I consider proper commentary plus good analysis all the time, especially on the radio. But I'm a traditionalist. I don't want the commentators to make it about themselves and I don't want relentless ads and cheerleading by the commentary teams but that's what so much of it has come to.
True about Sunny Gavaskar, certainly now anyway. He used to be a wonderful commentator. Great voice for it and took cricket so seriously but he's been thoroughly hijacked by being on the BCCI payroll.
Sunny at least did have a go at Dhoni's poor Captaincy.
