  • The good old 'Geoff' walks away with 'roons' and 'wickits'

 
London, Sep 14: The outspoken cricket commentator Geoffrey Boycott was voted as Britain's favourite cricket commentator by the Wisden Cricketer magazine on Thursday.

The former England cricketer beat BBC Test Match Special (TMS) colleague Jonathan Agnew in the poll among the readers of the magazine.

'The Bible of Cricket' described Boycott and Agnew as the 'Lennon and McCartney of cricket Gavaskar column: Great opportunity for India’s rookies | Full Coverage: Twenty20 World Cup

Boycott was polled first among 57 per cent of readers, with Agnew placed first by 53 per cent while the Sky Sports’ David Lloyd got the third position.

"Propelled by his sheer enthusiasm, Bumble jumps five places to third,'' the magazine described Lloyd's selection.

The fourth place was taken over by Michael Atherton dubbed as ''the most natural successor to Richie Benaud'' and the Sky Sports’ Michael Holding was fifth backed by a 'voice of pure honey'.

    I do consider Geoff Boycott to be a good commentator and head and shoulder over some mediocre ones. It is very sad to see those who had no accomplishments as one day batsmen or cricketers and one of whom made a fool of himself by carrying his bat throughout the innings and scoring paltry runs and feigning ignorance that he had to score at a very faster rate in this version of the game.

    There is another commentator who has neither played first class cricket nor is a cricket journalist and there I wonder if he knows the technicalities and history of the game. In his commentary there are plethora of superlatives like "Oh, what a shot .....". "That was a wee high" and so on.
