Cork is really aggressive for some reason when he commentates
Struts
Winger
He takes the IPL approach that every boundary and wicket are monumental milestones in human history.

Tries to get to clever with technical stuff

Plays on being the posh Englishman abroad after not getting a go here. Not keen on him.

Swann is on the radio unfortunately. During the England v Pakistan match he tried to involve the West Indian commentator Fazeer Mohammed into some of his awful banter.
Mohammed was having none of it, and then went on to put him in his place in a row over Mankading. It was beautiful to listen to!
Sucks up to the Aussies , worse than Tony Greig. Can't stand the bastard .

Never felt like Greig was one of us

I can’t abide Ian Bishop.
A man picking a single up on the boundary, is not profound.
The shot to get it there wasn’t profound either
The bowlers run up/delivery was not profound.
Everything is not profound, you don’t have to commentate it like it is and if anything profound does happen, the viewer will spot it long before you and your gammy back.

Smithy is excellent and the Kiwi go to man for all things Sport when commentating. Heads up their All Black love in too.

He started being a bit arrogant with Ian bishop towards the end and I wished bishop would knock his block off..
Sag all always sounds like he’s got summick stuck in his throat like he needs to hockle..
Sag? Dagnall!

Dagnall does not have a good voice - very crusty. Hussain is hopeless - talks absolute ****. He described Tahir as a line spinner...what is that in cricketing terms? What he meant was wicket-to-wicket. He uses stupid inane terms like grabbers for catchers and he is disrespectful to other people calling them all by their surname but not Botham I noticed. Sir Ian probably threatened to hit him hopefully.

I can't get away from that review of him on C4 ashes 2005 where someone wrote, 'its as if he's trying to make love to the camera with his eyes'.
Sums him up, and he's a Crim lover.

Ashes 2005 though...if I ever see a better series of matches I will consider myself very lucky. Two teams at their peak, sporting pitches, full stadia, England’s fighting spirit coming through..then -aside from the cricket- on the last day of the series my wife told me she was pregnant with our first child. What a summer!

Bloody hell. I like Hussain. I also think Daggers’ voice is perfect for radio.

Hussain started off great years ago but has declined vastly. I also hate the term grabber and it's as if he's trying to sound modern with terms like this and his all too occasional hyperbole.
Oh for the gentle days of Arlott, Johnson, CMJ, Trueman, Mosey, Bailey, Blowers. Everything about cricket (life?) seemed so relaxed and uncomplicated.

My favourite time for listening to cricket
CMJ utter class
Trueman always mystified never like this in my day
Bailey concise and knowledgeable as was Mosey
Blowers never be another like him “ my dear old thing “

Totally agree about Bishop. Wish he'd just shut up.
