Is there a more annoying commentator than that Isa Guha? Makes me watch to switch off the cricket listening to her. I cant be the only one surely.

Heard her scream out "what a speccy" after a good catch was taken. Get here outtha there please somebody.

Uh, Dan Norcross.

I like Isa Guha's commentary. Seems to be free of the usual boys club in-joke's and seems quite self deprecating.

She's quite nice to look at too which is a bonus.

Quite like her holds her own with the more experience commentators
IPL commentators are the worse shouting and speaking  assertively over nothing

A two match series is daft. Should always be three or five, in my opinion.

She seems a nice lass - indeed, the one time I met her in person the same applied. But she is very obviously there to fulfill a quota and adds nothing.  It seems a shame when someone like Charlie Dagnall only get a few games in the RL50 - if they were picking a commentator on merit, he's got it hands down.

That’s not quite right as Ali was in as the only spinner but I do see your point

As I posted a while back ‘what next for mo ali’ It’s becomes harder for him to get back in

He sees himself as a batsman who bowls so you can see the irony

Given that the current requirement seems to be "Can you hit a couple of nice cover drives before giving it away wafting outside off" then I reckon Moeen might have a decent shot at the #3 spot.

Wasim Akram, Ian Botham.

Isa was by no means the worst or most irritating person on the mic this series.

Indeed.

She wasn't bad and she'll only get better.
