These guys should be in the commentators panel for the ongoing Ind Vs Eng series for Indian viewers too.

[@charlieobrien7023]

They’re not covering it unfortunately, the series is on freeview tv on channel 4 which is brilliant but I’m missing the great sky pundits

[@DoFi12]

The sky pundits are great. Channel 4’s coverage is very basic, and the English commentators in India aren’t great either

[@schpleeb]

@@DoFi12 I find if you watch on channel 4 but listen on TalkSport 2 (as long as it synchs well enough) is the best experience! It’s a little more TMS style

[@tommyphillips8547]

@@schpleeb it's like when TMS was covering in Sri Lanka and you sync them it is literally the best combo, live tv with the best commentators IN THE WORLD

[@ajaymurthy9212]

I'm fed up of hearing Sunil Gavaskar, Laxman Siva rama krishnan and the new chap Murali Karthik..... They hardly give any insights.. Mostly biased commentary....

[@harshapaga4560]

In simple words..THIS IS ENGLISH CRICKET.. what a class conversation.

[@fryliver4953]

Keep these coming Sky. Lovely conversations!

[@IITianProudIndian]

How I wish the sky team was in india commentating, and that we..the cricket lovers in india, had the option of listening to them. And instead what do we get? Siva, Karthik, Dasgupta, Agarkar and butcher..who were horrendous and did no justice to the fantastic cricket by root, Jimmy, pant. 🙄🙄

[@fryliver4953]

@@IITianProudIndian Yes, sad that Nass, Athers and co aren't commentating

[@ravisharma8473]

English are lucky to have Nasser and Atherton together. Two of the best pundits currently involved in the game.

[@IITianProudIndian]

As an indian cricket fan, I really envy the English cricket lovers who get to hear such quality pundits regularly. On the other hand, the commentators put out by bcci for the first test, subjecting us to the torture of listening to the whiny voices of Karthik, siva and Agarkar. 😭. Atleast Bhogle could have been a saving grace. I watched most of the test on mute! Such a crying shame despite our rich heritage!!

[@vishaldora8803]

The English commentary team of Starsports is very boring except Gavaskar, everyone only knows how to lick the boots of Virat Kohli

[@Krishna-ry3gg]

Kartik is okay but Ajit agarkar is a torture

[@amitm2692]

Hahaha....yeah man ....third degree torture listening to Indian commentators

[@Krishna-ry3gg]

@@amitm2692 worst part is whenever Indian batsman are playing he will say india should lose a wicket and then atleast two will fall

[@IITianProudIndian]

@@Krishna-ry3gg Kartik for me is the worst commentator ever in the history of cricket, with such a dull monotonous voice. Makes siva look like Richie benaud

[@Peter-ci1zw]

Cool glasses Athers

[@sa7038]

Atherton’s comment about hitting and hitting thousands of balls is so true, practice and practice and then Bumbles comment on telling someone to go and hit it that way and let them develop their own style before working on technique, personally found those two points really important.

[@mrkipling2201]

I can watch stuff like this all day!! One of the few good things to have come out of Covid is sky sports producing videos like this. Keep it up!!

[@hardikshah3120]

Love the conversation. Also friendship & Respect between Naseer & Atherton is visible and really nice to watch

[@divyanarayan2214]

Nasser and Athers are born just five days apart...Athers born on 23 March 1968 and Nasser born on 28 March 1968. They have known each other since their school days. Think they played age group cricket together...Athers made his test debut earlier, but Nasser joined him in the England team soon after. And both have captained each other in the England team...Atherton was captain in the mid '90s and Nasser became captain in 1999. And now, both working together for Sky as commentators. So, their equation is not just professional but personal as well...Athers knows exactly how strict Nasser's dad was when it came to cricket (mentioned on one of Sky Sports Cricket podcasts).

[@chrishutchison6896]

I could listen to these guys all day

[@divyanarayan2214]

I've seen quite a few comments here saying that this discussion makes no mention of cricket being more accessible to those who attend private school, to those who can afford money to attend academies, financing proper coaching, etc. That means accessibility of the game is a huge problem when it comes to England cricket. Yet the ECB is part of the "Big Three" of world cricket (along with India and Australia). Can someone please explain this? How is it that a cricket board can be so rich yet the sport is not perceived to be accessible enough to all sections of society?

[@sudhanshg16]

This was an amazing and class conversation. Thank you lads! 😃

[@clementankit6436]

What a wonderful conversation. Top notch. Thank you very much.

[@drswapnilborde]

[@ammarkhankhattak4011]

[@newdarkagenow]

Brilliant show guys much appreciated

[@AmanMehraaman]

Great conversation. There's so little content on stories behind the field. Cricketers and families. The haves and the have nots. The growing up and the environmental factors.

[@Choco8Ice]

Without doubt, these presenters / commentators are encouraging cricket in England. I also love listening to Micheal Holding and his view on the game. They talk about the game so positively, it does engage you. Thank you Sky Sports Cricket.

[@Choco8Ice]

Best advice from this clip : play cricket in any format when your new /young. Quick cricket is such fun and you can learn a lot too in this short format. As a football coach, getting everyone involved is the best way to promote opportunity. You won't please everyone (e.g Parents/Arm chairs supporters) but your giving the chance for all. That's what a coach is there for. Opportunity to learn.

[@UTFR]

No wonders Sky is the gold standard in sports broadcasting, fascinating chat...grateful this is not under any paywall 👍

[@dnbWORLDWIDE]

love these :D good work sky

[@XiagraBalls]

The discussion at the 27:00 mark is so relevant to me as a captain and a coach. Parents have high expectations from their kids and we had a situation last year where an Age Group Manager had his son (who is actually a brilliant all-rounder - altho his fielding needs work) opening the bowling and the batting and other kids weren't getting a go, according to some parents. He ended up being player of the year for that age group, of course, which probably irritated some other parents. It's difficult to balance competing priorities - keep interest, being fair, being competitive and winnings games, leagues and cups.

[@ChorltonOutlaw]

Good idea to put these on youtube :)

[@sunnysarkar4521]

[@roy1257]

[@Pcolloins]

Really interesting 👍

[@cjmgsport8545]

Great chat guys! So passionate about this as there is huge benefit to the game. However, I think the goals are off? Pro’s represent a small percentage of the game. Can we have an unwritten clear liveable, cultural goal that as coaches we have players who play the game for 10 years after you have been involved with them. Cricket is behind on development, environment design and coaching. Pick up game no, progression through the ages game no, do we have to have 11v 11 at u 11 or even worse u10 age group. Forgive me, deeply passionate about cricket and development.

lovely day💛

There's a town in Essex called Little Snoring, maybe that's what Bumble was thinking!

[@thanksgood1809]

I wanted to learn or practice English by this clip but when Bumble started it all fumbled

[@sudhirchada6908]

Haha haha! Hilarious!! Great fun listening to you guys!

[@schpleeb]

That is quite a fashion statement even by Bumble’s standards!

[@ajaymurthy9212]

Those feelings of bowling 10 mins and doing nothing for next 8 hrs so true.... Kills the interest sometimes

[@nabhus]

Is there nepotism in English cricket? Is it a meritocracy? Does physiology and anatomy have an impact (batmen typically shorter than bowlers, finger spinners having long fingers)?

Parents tend to push their kids into the profession which are more glamourous in nature, therein lies the problem. People should be comfortable with whatever profession their kids pick up.

[@mskshorts555]

What a pity not having one of them in India for the series. The commentators we have in the box are Deepdas Gupta, Siva and Karthik👎🏽 only Gavaskar Saving the grace

[@divyanarayan2214]

Interesting that while both Bumble and Athers are from Lancashire, Athers' accent is not as strong as Bumble's...seems much more refined. I suppose all those years at Cambridge University, marrying the daughter of a solicitor (and a journalist), plus living in London for more than 20 years now have refined Athers' accent to a great deal. Remember JDC (Josh de Caires; Athers' son) has his home county as Middlesex and NOT Lancashire.

[@PERCY-26]

Just Wow

[@ummeshbapat]

These guys would have become successful in anything they would have attempted even if it was not cricket. Extremely intelligent blokes talking about parenting, sport, kids and actually life. Great job skyports production team who think that this is as important as anything else that comes with so called modern sport broadcasting. And look at what IPL is doing with their broadcasting- shame.
