I can't think how Ramiz, Bhogle or Shastri got there.
Shastri and Ramiz with their DLF IPL maximums whenever a six was hit and Ramiz continuing that with his Spirit of India maximums in the Kitply Cup.

 

[Skywalker]

He was among top 10 cause there was only 10 commentators.

No, I remember I voted too.
I voted for Holding, Akram, Imran, Bishop and one other person I can't remember.

 

[EagleEyes]

Amir Sohail and Waqar are the best.

 

[Majnun]

Oh yeah. That's the other person I voted for. Waqar Younis.

 

[Vinod2070]

You sure your choices are not reflecting your "patriotism"!

 

[EagleEyes]

Wasim Akram is horrible. No doubt about it.

 

[araz]

Amir Sohail and Waqar are the best.

webby.
I have heard Waqar and he is always logical and I thought he had good insight into our Bowlers. I still think Ramiz his a bit more cultured and therefore more acceptable to all. Ihavent seen too much of Aamir Sohail so cannot comment

Ramiz Raja and Waqar Younis are the best commentators.......

 

[Majnun]

If they did, I would have picked Ramiz Raja and Zaheer Abbas instead of Holding and Bishop.

 

[EagleEyes]

Waqar and Amir always make the most sensible comments, also they pour in some inside news. Plus, they let the audience know what every player is going through every second.

Ramiz Raja i think is too bias against Pakistan. The credit needs to be given where it is due.. but notice that he takes all that away sometimes.. which is pathetic when you are suppose to support your team when they are doing good.

 

[Flintlock]

Hey..where's Harsh Bhogle? Oh there he is....right on top

 

[Majnun]

Bhogle never even played a match. He shouldn't be commentating at all.

The best Indian commentator I find is Shastri. Gavaskar is horrible.
