5 most biased commentators in cricket today

#2 Shane Warne

Chatty style Warnie

It’s hard not to enjoy listening to Shane Warne, but it’s also impossible to disregard his bias in the box. His chatty style and banter with his colleagues help to brighten up the dull moments, and a daily scan of his Twitter for the latest Warne shenanigan all adds to the fun. However, his evident bias towards Australia - in his defence, he was still playing for them less than a decade ago - is almost enough to make one give in and support them, if just to shut him up.

Subtlety is not something associated with Warne’s commentary. He is wild, shouty, and opinionated, and somewhat resembles a tabloid newspaper column which has come to life. When the Aussies do well, he gloats, and when they struggle, he sulks. To his credit, he does have valuable insight - as you would expect considering he is one of the greatest spinners of all-time. But his playground jokes, cheeky ribbing of the opposition, and fawning over Australians while on the mic that we could all do without. I’d happily go for a pint with you Warney, but when you’re on my TV, I’m afraid you’re going on mute.
