I have to say Graeme Swann is a revelation this summer. Usually I find him to a little twerp making cheap random comments but with all the rain breaks we’ve had he’s been sharp, insightful, opinionated and absolutely hilarious. My favourite line was to fazeer mohammed discussing mankading
“It’s like kissing your sister...you just don’t do it”

Most annoying commentator has to be Isa goha. She has such a drone and knows nothing but the most cliche ridden statements about a team or player. Pakistan are unpredictable...so and so is bowling short, finch likes to go after the bowlers. Etc etc. Sometimes I wonder how these people get picked.

I’d love to hear more from that Aussie bloke maxwell. Thought he was a class act.
 
Swann is always a laugh.

Boycott is gold. He actually is providing World Cup match reviews via WhatsApp which I've subscribed to.

I’ll have to connect with boycs. He used to be my favourite but he’s a little dated I feel and often repeats himself.

Swann is just going from strength to strength. At one stage I was worried he’d end up like Tufnell and any number of Indian commentators who don’t realise there is a team other than theirs also on the field, but Swann has been remarkably balanced.

The other day he was discussing with ramiz anout 1992 World Cup and imran constantly playing qawali in the dressing room. Swann apparently is a nusrat fate Ali Khan fan.
