How come Dean Jones is back on commentators panel?

Question

especially after that outrageous and lose commentary against a Proteas player of asian ethnic origin.

Answer 1

Is he any worse then any other commentator? They all have made mistakes at times.

Answer 2

Yeah ,even I was surprised when I saw him sitting next to Manjrekar in the discussion panel of IDEA STRAIGHT DRIVE.I recall that he had called Hashim Amla a Terrorist due to his long beard resembling that of OsamaBin Laden.Haha !!!

It seems to me that the ICC wants to forgive all Australians and Englishmen for whatever they do or speak since they are seldom punished or if at all punished then for very little time.Another example is Darrell Hair who was again taken into the ICC ELITE PANEL of umpires about a month back ( though he has resigned from it shortly before 3 days).

Answer 3

Sense of humour and ability to get TRPs!

Answer 4

what did he say about proteas ,i missed that ?

first time iv seen him and he seems ok ,but as i say its the first time

d**n what a Burk !!  you cant go around saying the terrorist thing like that .....these people seem to live in a bubble and not know whats going on out there

thanks gambler and kookee

LOL ! kookee when i read your last comment i thought you said he hasn't been on British terrorist TV.. since.... lol!! seriously i had to look again

.

Answer 5

Newfy- Dean Jones called South African player Hashim Amla a "terrorist"

" The Terrorist gets another wicket"

It was a disgraceful comment made but everyone is entitled to a second chance. A similar occurance happened in England when a football commentator called Ron Atkinson said a racial slur to a black player. Since he made that racist comment, he hasnt been on British terrestrial tv since.

EDIT- lmao!!! wouldnt be the most popular of channels eh Newfy!!
