Cricketers you hated when they played but respect more post-retirement

What’s Slater done? Always enjoyed his comms over here though I seem to recall that (much like early Warne) he may have dumbed it down for the home crowd?

Apart from the domestic violence thing, his commentary has gone to the crapper. It's a shame because I feel like when he first started commentating he was one of the best going around, then he he went full Channel 9. You never go full Channel 9.
