He's now a commentator...

Sounds familiar, trying to think of all the Spinners who commentate, only other one that comes to mind is Richie Benaud but I can't imagine him ever saying something that un-civilised :).

he played against Warnie

Going to narrow this down, no windies spinners come to mind, can only be English or Indian... Symcox was a commentator until he got pee'd off at Boycott a few years ago when SA went through that huge slump against England.

There's that one irritating commentator, Russel Arnold and then Ravi Shastri, perhaps one of them bowled spin?

I remember Arnold being batsman only, so Shastri it is?

Yep!

Against the Aussies... Aussie 12th man was on the park while Shastri was batting. Shatri wanted to go for a quick single and the Aussie chirped him. This was Shastri's reply:
