Nasser Hussain

Thought I'd just say I can't stand him. Just another commentator who states the obvious. Add to that the way he put the words "We Want to Humiliate Australia" into Pietersen's mouth the other day (He actually said "It would be nice to send them home, wouldn't it?"), and just lately he has really started to piss me off.

Nasser Hussain state the obvious??

for my money he's got more insight into the modern game than the rest of the English commentators put together.

Not afraid to lay into former team mates either ( are you listening Nick Knight?)

Yeah, I've actually liked Nasser's commentary . . .dry farker!

His commentary is better than Gooch's. Gooch is just a rambling old git with no sense of humour whatsoever.

Well he is a pom, FFS!

Didn't you hear Gooch yesterday when he compared Bangladesh's innings to the January sales; everything must go!

I think Gooch is secretly Baldrick from Blackadder.

Now hang on. If there's one thing the English have in general, it's a sense of humour.......Except for Gooch.

The voice.

The physical resemblance between Tony Robinson and Goochie is errrrr......stunning:lol:

Yes, I see what you mean.

I thought you were saying Goochie is fond of the odd turnip for a second there!

.... and Tony Robinson was involved in a series called "The Worst Jobs in History" whereas Gooch actually had the worst job in history (according to his hair ad!).

Didnt Nasser and Gooch have a falling out a few years back? I guess they've kissed and made up?

Aye, you see us Essex folk are working class people with dry wit with the added benefit of not living in the grim north...

One thing you Essex people cant do is pronounce peoples names correctly.

Alfridi, Twenny Twenny.

Aye, but then Gooch & Hussain do come from Ilford, which is in the grim south...

He's one of my favourite commentators and I particularly like it when he's coupled with Botham.
Have to say though that after his own harsh treatment by Botham et al during his time as captain, I'm still surprised by the way he laid into GBH.
All in all, a pretty decent bloke, I reckon.

Chandrapaul....

That's half the batool.

That would probably be the right pronounciation.

Despite the spelling? And the fact that his own teammates call him Chanderpaul?

chandrapal would be what his ancestors would probably call themselves. most of the west indian cricketers of indian origin have their names anglicised a bit

Hasn't Nass fallen out with just about everyone at some stage or another?
