Geoff Boycott is a pain in the arrrrrrse !

[sqwerty]

The way he talks in the commentary box, you'd think he was the greatest cricketer of all time and we all loved watching him

If he was playing now he'd be laughed off the field.

Get him out of the commentary box

I quite like his as a commentator, actually.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I love Geoff, he's a great commentator. He's witty, intelligent, articulate, has a funny accent and knows a lot about cricket. I don't care what sort of player he was really, but for what it's worth I don't think he betrays his playing style that much. He talks a lot about the things which made him a great cricketer, like temprament and a defence-first strong technique.

He was one of the finest opening batsmen of the last fifty years. He can be a bit irritating at times but one loves to listen to him because he is one of the most knowledgeable cricket experts in the world. Its an education listening to him.

As to his being laughed off the field if he was playing today...no comments.

 

[archie mac]

Yes one of my favourites, even if he repeats himself a lot

 

[GladiatrsInBlue]

Boycott is cool.

BTW, did he said anyting in favor of the umpires which is annoying Aussie fans??

Not really. Boycott's response to the Ponting, Flintoff, Martyn and Katich decisions in the last test was basically to argue for the introduction of technology to reduce the number of mistakes.

I like his comments ... his little spat with Greigy the other day was gold

Agree with that. I think the best combo is Boycott and Benaud... I have to say though, Atherton really gets on my nerves.

Slats has a good future too.

Gotta say the Channel 4 commentary and analysis with that Simon chap is better than anything we have in Aus....Chuck in the super slowmo camera and I don't know why you would go to the games. Better watching on telly.

 

[Jamee999]

Benaud's starting to spout some real tripe.

My fav is Atherton and Slats.

Any commentary team that has Mark Nicholas can't possibly be the best.

 

[Deja moo]

Benaud gets boring after a while.

Boycotts good.

I think he's brilliant. The fact he talks himself up is just part of his witty charm. He's actually my favourite of the channel 4 team.
