The Battle of the Commentators

Chappell.

I can tell that this one's a popular battle. Could be the first winner to actually receive a negative overall vote total comes from this one! Not necessarily the best commentator, just the least bad!

Still, you guys voted them into Round Two. Could just as easily been CMJ vs Cullinan.... hmmm.

 

[Dan]

Cmj?

Sadly, Arlott bows out 14 - 9 allowing Boycott passage through to the next round.

And, with that, my general opinion of this forum's posters plummets to Hadean depths. Feather-brained philistines, the lot of 'em.

 

[neville cardus]

I'm voting for Lawry simply because he doesn't always sound like his pet hamster has just died.

That's because (fittingly, perhaps) he sounds like a just-castrated lory. My vote goes against him.

Yes he's grumpy, but he knows his stuff.

He's never biased for a country, but playing styles he likes (which isn't necessarily that bad). He doesn't like Kallis much though lol.

I don't think Lawry's style has moved on since he started commentating at Channel 9. At least you know what you are getting. Very entertaining but after 20 something years I'd like a few more shots in his repetoire.

Ian Chappell on the other hand is quite aggressive and forthright. He knows his stuff.

It was so close that I had to ask the third umpire for a decision. After much deliberation he awarded it to Chappell.

 

[Sanz]

Against Chappells. I dislike them.

He's never biased for a country, ...

He is biased for his family though.
