Cricketers turned commentators best XI
Listening to their magic with words has been pretty delightful.
4. Nasser Hussain
The 52 year old former England skipper is one of the most revered commentators across the globe. His leadership abilities, more than his batting were instrumental to the success of the Brits during his tenure. His devotion towards the sport is probably the factor which drove him into commentary after his retirement.
Interestingly, during his playing days, Hussain was under a lot of pressure from Sky Sports’ commentary team due to his poor form. After scoring a ton in an ODI he made a gesture towards the commentary box. As fate would have it, he joined them in the commentary team after his retirement.
Hussain’s career was also filled with controversies. One of the famous incidents ones happened in the year 2011 when he used the term ‘donkeys’ to refer to a few of the Indian fielders. Needless to say, he received a lot of backlash for this unfortunate remark. He has a career of over 15 years in this profession.
