Ndlovu I think is done at international level.

Bring back cremer, kiss and make up with Chisoro or bring in the chinaman.

What’s wrong with Dean? Listening to the same three guys for 4/5 days is like being in a throat slitting polygamous marriage.

The only way Dean is going to impress me is if he takes the wheel and drives me to Shurugwi
I like Dean.
But let’s be real.
This is hardly an outrage if he can’t get a commentary gig.
The guy is blind! He can’t see the action!
He will need to guess the action on the field from hearing sounds and filling the rest with stories of the good old days. He also can’t really bring in any ex player perspective or something of notable unique value. He’s more novelty value sadly.

He did ok in the past, but A commentary gig is no doubt highly coveted. He can make one huge mistake and look like a real idiot. He also sounds too similar to Dirk.

In the box Dirk does ok. Vusi does ok. Tino has been sensationally comfortable in the box.
We can only guess who else would like a gig who hasn’t got a look in.

He is way more suited as a journalist, podcast fella, maybe a guest stint in the box. Even though I think more fans would probably like to hear from an injured player as a guest stint.
He would be perfect for radio commentary. Describing where and how a ball is played is very important for radio but not so much for television which he does a lot from the times i've heard him.

Nothing wrong with giving him a couple of slots. He has a unique skill. It’s not the Ashes, we’re watching two teams trying to bore each other to death.

I think they will take Burl to Bangladesh based on his bowling in the BPL.

The last time anyone listened to radio here was the Lyons Hit Parade in 1846
