As Bill Lawry Would Say...

It's All Happening Here! Pathan has just walked out at the fall of Dravid's wicket. This is exciting. Flintoff has panicked and thrown more than half the fielders onto the boundary. About 8 runs needed per over.

20 minutes later:
And now Dhoni walks in at the fall of Jaffer's wicket. 170 runs to win in 75 minutes. Game on!

Boycott is excellent. I recall him saying once that he commentates as though he's speaking to someone who's played club cricket - he expects that you understand most of the concepts, but there are some technical points that only first class cricket can teach you, and this is what you need to emphasise.

Gower is fantastic though. He is closest to Benaud in style.

Interesting. I certainly learn a lot more when I listen to Boycott.

I guess Gower's alright.

I really miss Tony Grieg though. I can't for the world of me guess what he could've said to not be invited to commentate for South Asian matches. It's like an unwritten ban.
