Atherton doesn't know much about the England team either, look at bad he was as England captain and selector.

Not sure what the exact team would be, but Boycott would be first pick and I'd stick people in with him that he royally take the mick out of (like Greig). Slater and Benaud would be other choices of commentator that immediately spring to mind.

Oh and I don't think Boycott is particularly biased towards players, obviously he wants England to win and I don't see a problem with that.
