The Battle of the Commentators

Benaud

Some of my favourite memories of watching cricket, when Ch 9 had the score in white in the top right hand corner, with a red line underneath, and someone would work a ball through the field, and straight away Richie would say, "..and that will be 3". And it always was.

For Benaud

For Benaud

Yeah, I miss the box in corner showing the batsmen running between the wickets. That used to be great.

 

[Mister Wright]

The main reason why I went for Cozier was because of his work on the 1995 West Indies v Australia series.

I think that was the last time cricket has been shown on another free-to-air channel other than 9. I remember it was on channel 10, and David Hooks was a commentator. What a great series that was.

This really should be a final rather than a Round Two but my vote goes to Bumble. Though Richie's ability to predict how much the batsman will run straight after the shot has been hit will not go unnoticed.

Richie went down in my opinion after his major hilarious blunder in the Ashes 2005, Test 5, Day 5 lunch break blunder when he attempted to read Kasprowitz's statement regarding his controversial dismissal and got the first few words horribly wrong, prompting Nicholas to make the save.

Richie: "I would have..."

I do like Mr "start the pedalo" Lloyd...but it has to be Benaud Is he still commentating in Australia btw? Sky's coverage of the Australian season would be worth watching just to hear him again...

Does he remind you of yourself?

For: David Lloyd Best commentator out there.

 

[Pratters]

Benaud easily. Bumble is good but loses out to Benaud by a fair bit for mine.

9-9 at the moment.

I'll admit I'm stunned by this, and I mean that as no offence to Bumble.
