Is Sourav Ganguly really this bad a commentator?

[member250]

Ganguli doesn't need to be in com box, some are just not good enough. Remind me of IK commentary, boring to listen.

Sashtri was neutral. Ganguly is a bit biased. If India was playing South Africa and the English commentators brought England I'd be annoyed to. "Shilaankaa"

Ravi was neutral back in the day, but ever since Indian cricket gained power and influence he suddenly became a lot less neutral. Perhaps he was never truly neutral. Maybe it was all an act born out of necessity

 

[Rudi hater]

I noticed that, he was almost urging and wishing SL won yesterday. I was thinking to myself is he sitting in the commentary box or in his house lounge. He was so desperate....

 

[Pollack]

England too, didn't you watch the India today enclave, Gangly had a bet with warne that england will beat australia, now warne has to wear england jersery for 1 full day

So when is he going to wear England jersey and where?

His commentating is still neutral. He is pumped up when India is doing good but he doesn't belittle opposition and also praise them on air when they play good. He although is blatantly biased for Mumbai players.

Nothing wrong with getting pumped up when India is doing well. That is not the issue. I would find it strange if that was not the case. It is natural to feel pumped up when your team does well and he is only human.
However, if you compare his commentating before 2007 to what it has been since, it becomes quite hard to believe the change that has happened. He was always outspoken and pro-Indian and there is nothing wrong with that, but post 2007 he has gradually become more and more biased. Because of that he went from being one of my favorite commentators to being someone I can barely stand to listen to

 

[surg]

He should praise all players who play well. Earlier he used to do that. Now a days he even praises Jaspreet Bumrah's action.
Once he said that he does not care for his commentary stint.

LOL somebody is upset.

In which world does it says that when someone posts 'LOL', they are upset, unless you think Laughing Out Loud is a sign of crying, what a genius, what a genius?

you got upset and you don't have any proper response. all you did was making sarcastic personal remark. you don't have to be really genius to figure out.

BTW you are still waiting and hoping for indian team to leave England early?

 

[CricVet]

He is an Indian, what do you expect? Not every Indian Commie is Harsha. Chances of BAN beating India are bleak but if happened, I would love to hear him over and over.
