Commentary box is one of the most interesting places during a Test match. It is the place from where fans get to listen some interesting insights from former cricketers. Not only insights, but sometimes it also becomes a place where former cricketers take dig at their commentary partners who were once rivals on the cricket field.
In the ongoing fourth and final Test of the series between England and Pakistan at The Oval, one such interesting conversation was witnessed during the second day of the match. Former West Indies pacer Michael Holding, who is known for his fiery bowling in his playing days, took a dig at his commentary partner and former England captain Michael Atherton for his attire. As per the record, there were three men commentating in the box — Holding, Atherton and Ian Botham. ALSO READ: James Anderson credits Zaheer Khan for helping him reach the summit
Botham at the middle was surely enjoying the banter between Holding and Atherton, when the former Caribbean pacer was having a go at the former England batsman as his sleeves were rolled up with no blazer. On the other hand, Holding and Botham were properly dressed like professionals with blazer, shirt and tie.
Meanwhile, former Australian spinner Shane Warne was also seen in the box and was trying to show off his batting skills to some one without knowing that there is an interesting banter going on. It was pretty interesting and funny, as Holding took a dig at Atherton. Take a look at this interesting incident here.
