After having to listen to the ABC's radio coverage due to no Fox Sports I've had a re-think and thought I better list my worst c ommentators again:
1. Jim Maxwell
2. Jim Maxwell
3. Jim Maxwell
.........and so on.
If being 'knowledgable about the game' includes shouting 'Out' before having to add 'no it's gone away for 4'; making up words for certain shots etc when there's already terminology in place that eveyone understands; and saying things like 'a french cut, they practice that shot in the nets' then Jimmy must be the most knowledgable man in cricket...........or he could just be an absolute goose.
Then we have the time he spends trying to convince us that a lot of people actually turn the sound down on the TV and listen solely to him.......

When I last heard Thomson commentate he irritated me to death (well, not to death obviously) by saying "too, as well" all the time.Slow Love™ said:

It think it was Australia's tour to Pakistan, he was commentating and they cut to him in the crowd and he was picking his nose.

I find Sidhu amusing, but I haven't heard much of his commentary. I can see how he might become annoying after a while.SJS said:I know there are those who are his big fans and he is not one of the worse students of the game but he has to be the worst specimen let loose on the cricketing public...Navjot Singh Sidhu
Sanjay Manjrekar has really made an impression during the Ind-Aus coverage. A nice line in wry humour and very knowledgeable.

You must have heard him just that one series.
He was terrific when he came in first , but the novelty wears off , and hearing him repeat himself (mostly) series after series is tiresome . Not that he was a bad commentator , just that its just too much energy for ones liking .
