David Lloyd

David Lloyd

“Start the car”, “flippin’ murdered them”, “start the tuk-tuk”, and “time for a Root”. Any prizes for guessing who?

Hard to deem yourself to be a cricket lover if you didn't get that one.

It's David Lloyd or "Bumble" as he's lovingly called. These trademark exclamations delivered in a typical English accent have only alleviated an average fan’s love affair with cricket. Enthralling us all with his humorous anecdotes, the quirky Lancastrian is a priceless voice in the commentary panel.

Having had the experience of being a player, umpire and a coach, his cricketing knowledge is unparalleled. In addition to being able to provide a first-hand analysis from the perspectives of all three important men, he is always animated and well-prepared. Lloyd doesn't just restrict his logical opinions to the game and so there is never a dull moment when Lloyd is in the commentary panel. Here is a clip that amply proves the same.
