    Who has Knight replaced in the commentary box ? Why does KP dislike him so much ?

    thanks

    Havent watched enough of the first test to know if he replaced anyone or just added him to the team but lets face it, nick knight is the most run of the mill, banal, talk in cliches dullard on the team, sticks out like a sore thumb on the test team where everyone, bar botham, is an expert analyst and very interesting, whilst botham is always value for money.

    i totally agree with KP and if it had been anyone else from the team tweeting this it would have been ignored, if it had been swanny for example it would probably have been lapped up.

    commentators make a living critiscising players yet the first sign of something the other way and why? because knight is employed by sky and sky have the sword over every sport because of the amount of money they pour in.

    KP tweeted something along the lines of 'how has nick knight worked his way into commentating test matches? its ridicoulous'

    and he is right, he is one of the poorer of the bunch of county commentators, mark butcher especially is great value and insightful and even rob key, much as he's a tosser, makes worthwile & interesting comments.

    No doubt its a simple case of a player reacting to criticism.

    anar the last person you'd expect to offend anyone he is the king of mundane.

    'Fiery' types like bob willis and boycoutt make a living slagging people off and remain unscathed, probably rightly too scared to criticise them. Proper grumpy old men them too
