It’s not just the cricketers who’ve been winning the fans over on the tour Down Under. Commentator Harsha Bhogle has earned some plaudits of his own — his work with ABC Radio has got him the top rating from Aussie media website crikey.com.crikey, which describes itself as ‘‘Australia’s leading independent online news service’’, assessed all commentators, radio and TV, accessible to the Australian public during the tour.Bhogle won praise from the site’s ‘Couch Potato’ columnist for being a ‘‘consummate professional’’ and for his alternative point of view. ‘‘He proves you don’t need to be a champion player to be an interesting and well-informed commentator’’, the column said, adding that he was a clear favourite with its readers as well.Reader responses back that statement, calling him ‘‘knowledgeable and articulate’’, with one wondering why Channel 9 had no Indian commentators.Peter Roebuck, covering the one-day series for The Indian Express, is ranked second, also for his spots with ABC.
