From those on the list, I'd have to say Sanjay Manjrekar is the only one who stands out; he is in fact a very good, balanced and insightful commentator, on his days as good as Atherton or CMJ. All of the others on the list have some major deficiencies: Waqar's knowledge of English and of up and coming overseas players is very weak; Benaud is biased, and has a very blinkered, Anglo/Aus-centric view of the world; David Lloyd is good for a laugh and the comedy value, but is not exactly a 'commentator' or expert, whilst Ramiz, though professional enough, is hardly ever insightful.
