#6 Ian Smith

Ian Smith has been the voice of New Zealand cricket season for many years

The leading voice of New Zealand cricket for a long time, Ian Smith is a former wicket-keeper batsman who is now an integral part of the New Zealand cricket summer.

He too possesses the great ability to both bring moments alive with his powerful voice when important things happen and also pierce through the banality of the game with expert comments that make the viewer more knowledgeable about what is happening.

In many ways, Smithy, as he is referred to by his co-commentators, is a true all-rounder with the mike. Apart from being an astute analyst and a lively voice, he also has great stories to tell and frank opinions to give on various issues related to the game. A great sense of humour and wittiness contribute to the quality of his commentary.

Smith has become the de facto leader of the Sky New Zealand commentary team and is carrying this responsibility proficiently for nearly for a long time.
