Silly topic I know, but which cricketer or commentator would you say sounds the most like YOU, accent wise?

I think I sound like Andrew Strauss.

I would LIKE to sound like Holding or Manjerkar

Holding more than Manjeraker

I probably sound like Inzi.

TO, as an Indian, and PP, as a PAK, can you pick up our regional English accents, or do we all just sound 'English' to you? I've often wondered.

Possibly shades of David Gower, a bit on the deeper, softer side.

Do you say "garn" instead of "gone?"

Cheeky fooker. That's only those Sarf Essex boys that sound a bit cockney. Get past Chelmsford and everyones a farmer.

I sound a bit like that Welsh commentator. I can also do a cracking, "Well, what more can you say" Bob Willis impression.

I don't think so. I did say shades. Mostly just a little bit posh.

I'm trying to think of anyone who sounds neutral - probably Beefy then.
