Cricket Commentators

[Booney]

Outside of punter who is far and away the best we have, the others really highlight how great the team led by Richie was. And the best thing was they let the action tell the story. Today we have mark Nicholas, haydos, JL and co. who just keep jibbering

Since when?

O'Keefe is good entertainment.
To say otherwise is a poor reflection on where humanity is leading

[Brodlach]

He’s not on Fox

[am Bays]

He’s not on Fox

Yes he is, when they’re broadcasting the games from Seth Efrica

Another one who made it all about him a la Howie

“Have you ever seen anything like/as magnificent/clever like that?”

Yeah mate plenty of times

Now F*** off back to England and let the big boys commentate

Chappell bar, WED Imperial Pints, satisfies this grumpy boomer...

Tom Morris - honestly. I heard it yesterday, comes on and just repeats what previous guys spoke about for 15mins

[Corona Man]

Topical, and no intention of racism, though I suspect this will be received as such..

Harsha Bogle, and whoever Sandat Banderesaan is. Awful. Couldn’t care less about your opinion. No cricket bona fides… just making shit up and getting paid for it. Fraud of the highest order!

I don't mind Bogle

[RB]

Bhogle's one of the better ones in my view. In fact I'd probably have him straight after Ponting.

Nah it's reflection that the commentators think we are tuned in to listen to them instead of appreciating what's on the screen

If I want to be entertained I'd watched a movie/comedy, listen to music. I don't watch sport to be entertained by an individual I cant see. I want to be entertained by those I can see exhibiting their skills.

Same goes for the footy commentators who think its aBouT them, too!

Have run a survey on the best cricket commentator since 2000
1 Ritchie Benaud
2 Kerry Okeefe

Personally i dont mind humorous commentators
The ones that irk me the most are the ones who try and captain from the commentators booth
" I would have an extra slip, I would have my mid on straighter, the captain should be ..."
Its fine to state any of the above or similar- but not on and on and on and on and on and on and on ...

Reckon Skull has toned it down alot when commentating and leaves the humour to the breaks in play.

He actually speaks alot of common sense in his commentating and has a good feel for the game
