10 Best commentators of all time
These 10 men made a significant impact on the sport with their iconic voices and viewpoints.
4. Mark Nicholas
“Hello this is Mark Nicholas and with me here is Richie Benaud,” – for most cricket lovers, this line has a special place in their hearts. Apart from being the voice of cricket’s most iconic PC game, the EA Cricket 07, Mark Nicholas’s beautiful voice caught the attention of everyone in a short span of time.
Having played for Hampshire in the English county for nearly 17 years, Nicholas shifted to the media side of things in 1995 and worked initially with Sky Sports. Another iconic Englishman in the Channel 9 Network besides Tony Greig, Nicholas produced some memorable spells in the press box while describing the iconic Ashes moments of the 21st century.
For a lot of Indian fans, one of their favorite Mark Nicholas spells would be the India-Pakistan game in the 2011 World Cup semifinal, where his ever-intriguing voice made every moment more special than it already was. His voice was so loved that he came fourth in a Melbourne newspaper poll that set out to find the public’s choice on the new host of the Australian version of “Who wants to be a millionaire”.
