Russel Arnold is terrible (although anyone remember the travesty that was Aravinda de Silva's commentary career for Sky on the 2006 tour?). The man they should have got is Roshan Abeysinghe who I have really been impressed by over on TMS, then we wouldn't have to hear Nick (shudders) Knight.........




And I think Willis is alright, especially on the highlights programmes playing the 'grumpy old man' role with Charlie.
