Worst Commentators/Pundits XI

[jackbyrne91]

Having a think about this on the way to work this morning as I read this awful article from Alec Stewart that offered nothing other than stating the bleeding obvious. I also don't like listening to him, his voice, or anything he comes out with in general.

BBC Sport - Ashes places up for grabs in ODI series - Alec Stewart

I am sure there is all that one commentator or pundit you dislike.. Wonder if we can make an XI out of them??

I will get the ball rolling with my nomination for Stewart to be joined opening the batting by Nick Knight.

Yes. Prince EWS.

 

[benchmark00]

Lloyd
Boycott
Chappell*
D Jones
Arnold
Botham
Shastri
Healy+
Warne
J Thomson
Holding

Ian Smith, Knight et. al. very stiff to miss.

 

[Spark]

decent attack, that side. wonder if that says something.

 

[benchmark00]

Glenn McGrath up there as well. Probably running the drinks.

Bloke sounds like he's about to cry every time he talks/regales us with stories of the julios vs nerds.

 

[Daemon]

Gavaskar would be one of my first picks

 

[benchmark00]

Yeah him too.

So many **** ****s.

Where's Andre? Loves Sanja Manjrekar.

 

[jackbyrne91]

How could I forget Botham? When I was watching England/Australias Greatest Days on SS Ashes he used to be ok.

Now he just mumblesallhiswordstogetherreally quickly.


What about Michael Vaughan anyone? Anyone think he is making too much of an effort trying to become the next Bumble.

 

[hendrix]

I don't mind a bit of David Lloyd or even Holding so long as he's not talking about spin bowling. Excellent accents both.

Botham though...jesus.

 

[Maximas]

Vaughan doesn't do much for me, I've always hated James Brayshaw as well

 

[hendrix]

Vaughan is such a ***** and has such a punchable face.

 

[jackbyrne91]

I think Bumble/David Lloyd is hilarious. I can see why he would rub people up the wrong way though but when your broadcasting live events for 8/9 hours you need a bit of comedy.

The things about the Jazz club in the Pakistan away tests, and then whenever he refers to his "brother Clive Lloyd". Love him.

craig mcmillan

 

[Jono]

Benchy naming Chappelli captain

He hates him so much

 

[Teja.]

I actually came in to post that Chappeli should be captain regardless of anything else as well.

I don't really mind a complete cheerleader that much but it's the combination of actually taking himself immensely seriously while being so patently and stubbornly illogical in his cricketing perspective that irks me no end with Chappell.

 

[Daemon]

I think Vaughan goes alright most of the time tbh. Nasser is one of my favourites currently.

 

[uvelocity]

such an easy thread. commentators universally liked XI would be a harder task

 

[Spikey]

shane warne a shoe in

 

[Spikey]

shane warne the first man picked for this team

 

[Spikey]

shane warne a certain inclusion in this team
