Disclaimer, if you do not believe Tony Greig is the reason bambi’s mother died, this post filled with expletives and character assassination may not be for you.
Cricinfo have just completed a survey on who is the most popular cricket commentator in the world.
Harsha Bhogle just pipped Ravi Shastri and Richie Benaud.
Not a bad top 3, but I would think Michael Holding was unlucky to miss the top 3.
That isn’t the problem though, the problem is at number 4.
Tony fucken Greig.
What the fuck?
Tony Greig?
How did he even get in the top ten, in the top hundred, the top thousand.
I was at a bar once watching cricket, and this guy was oozing blood from a wound on his neck, and that blood had bacteria in it, and the bacteria was more insightful on the state of play than Tony.
Then to add insult to herpes, he gets voted most entertaining.
What is that, an ironic award now.
How could he be more entertaining than Bumble, Boycott or Lawry.
Anyone who voted for Tony should be terminated, slowly.
If you ever needed proof the world was filled with fuckwits, this is it.
I thought i was finished but I’m not.
Tony Greig is a name dropping, attention seeking, money grabbing, loyalty diving, asian bride hating, parasite who feeds on the very game that made him.
He will go to any lengths to profit from cricket, and can’t even get the players names right.
But above all that, he is a shit commentator.
True story.
Interesting that the survey notes a significant percentage of voters were Indian. So either a significant percentage of Indians are fuckwits or Tony was logging on to vote for himself while in IndiaIt boggles the mind that he is even relevant in todays game
You don’t like him then? Is he related to Graeme Smith at all?

AMEN!
I love it when you get angry. I know you hate Tony Greig, but he does bring some of your best work out of you.
It’s all over red rover.
ato his credit, Tony Greig’ been planning on bagging the popularity vote by giving head to every Sri Lankan player since the mid 90s. so he s got the Lankans in his pocket.. He chooses his Indian assignments very carefully. Only tournaments where the other commentators are Arun Lal, Ranjit Fenando and L. Sivaramakrishnan.. He s aboviously going to sound intelligent compared to them.. and of course he captained England and was born in South Africa.. Wat the fuck did you expect.. Im surprised he s not No 1.. I can stand that bag of shit btw.. learned to live in a world where Tony Greig is popular and Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh are richer and bang more chicks than Laxman and Kumble..
Kumble is knee deep in pussy.
How the hell did Sunil Gavaskar make it to a list of favourite commentators? No, really. How. How?
> Kumble is knee deep in pussy.Hmm, I have never seem him and Hairy Front Bottom (err I mean Ryan Sidebottom) in the same room either…
abc radio commentators are da bombkerry o’kieffe is a legendthe entire list of favourite commentators (including richie ‘the reanimated corpse’ benaud) are rubbishlets not single out tony grieganother ‘citi moment of success’ for ravi shastri
Jrod, I’m in such a state of disbelief I’m struggling to comprehend how Toe knee did it. Perhaps he hired a small Indian computer savvy village ( of about 3.2m people) to vote for him. That can only be it. And Mr Panic…. lets single Tony out for the , well Jrod put it beautifully.I’m having a bourbon. This is to much
I’m starting to worry that Greig may actually be quite popular after all.Look at the 2 polls currently running on here. The Save our Bill poll has been around for a few weeks now, is for a good cause, and has been flogged all over the interweb and even made NZ radio. It has 70 signatures.The Arjantha Mendis poll is just a meaningless giggle with silly options about a player who’s played about 3 times. It’s got 76 votes.This is shitting me.
Mur, Sunny shocked me too, but it was essentially an Indian poll. MP, I think Kerry and Flemmo are brilliant, and I am a big fan of Campbell as well. LB, much easier to make people vote for poll than it is to get them to sign a petition.
Why is it harder to sign a petition?Sounds a bit gay to me…
I concur.
Even Indian people don’t like Gavaskar’s commentary, jrod. Or so I thought, anyway. How can anyone not be put to sleep by his drivel?Harsha Bhogle used to be good, but now he’s just become really arrogant and pompous. Ravi Shastri has to be the most repetitive commentator ever.Commentators like Gavaskar and Ranjit Fernando are the reason people in India are slowly watching less cricket and more football and Formula 1 racing.Let’s not forget Kris Srikkanth in all this. That man is an inspiration to me. Inspiration because whenever I’m feeling down about life, I just remind myself that if Srikkanth can get a job as a cricket commentator year after year, then I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to.
Shame on anyone who is reading this and has not signed the petition then.Unless they like Greig of course; in which case it’s even worse.
