Best Commentator?

For me it's Boycott by a country mile, his harsh, yet insightful, criticisms entertain me.
Next it's David Lloyd, or "Bumble", as he affectionately known, he's just fun.
Then it's Michael Vaughan, who has made a seamless transition from player to commentator and although more than a little biased, at least he's biased towards the right team.

Fellow JA606ers, who's your favourite commentator and why?

The thing i love about boycott, was during the ashes, at the MCG on the first morning, i remember listening to the commentry on tms. After 5 overs or so (where we had dropped a couple of catches) he basically said, we arent bowling well and we are going to struggle. By the end of he day we had bowled em out for 98 and had a lead of 50 odd with 10 wickets remaining lol :D

I like most of the cricketing commentators in stark contrast to the football pundits. Nasser is probably my least favourite but even his dull voice is preferable to idiots like Robbie Savage on the bbc!

best :

1. tufnell (for intellegence and insight)
2. vic marks (for god company)
3. boycott (for knowledge)


worst :

1. justin langer (for mumbling and general annoyance)
2. vaughan (for lewd comments)
3. martin jenkins (for continuallly shouting "he's out" when he's not out.
