World Commentators' Playing XI
Commentary has always played an essential part in the broadcasting of sport over the years. Be it the iconic duo of Andy Gray and Martin Tyler in football, Jim Ross and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler in WWE, Steve Slater in Formula 1 or a whole plethora of cricket commentators who have immortalized some moments in our brain. Manchester City won the Premier League title in 2012 but that moment is almost as well known for Martin Tyler’s near orgasmic chant of “Agueroooooo!”. In cricket, over the years, a great number of ex cricketers proved to be as comfortable with the mike as they were with the bat or ball. You will always remember Geoffrey Boycott’s idiosyncratic voice reverberating with chants of “Sourav Ganguly, the Prince of Calcutta” or Ravi Shastri’s “He’s taken the aerial route”.
In this article, we shall attempt to create a World Commentators Playing XI capable of taking on any side in the world right now, in any format, and prove to be a stren test for their opponents.
NOTE: To narrow down the search, we have tried to keep it a young playing XI and thus might miss out on quite a few notable names.
Do comment with changes you would make to this squad.
