We can start with James Jones-Buchanan, who is utterly unintelligible to me. I cringe every time a TV interviewer mistakenly puts a microphone in front of his face.

James Peacock is not a lot better, though if I concentrate hard I can pick up the drift of his conversation, which is often impossible with JJB.

It is not a matter of being working class. Adrian Morley is much easier to listen to, even though he comes from Salford Quays. (It also helps a little for his appeal to the the TV audience that Adrian Morley has a very pleasant face, and a calmly amiable personality, unlike the other two whom I have mentioned, who thus labour with a double disadvantage).

Australians, generally.

Getting the message out - like it.

Andy Raleigh is pretty good on Radio Leeds

Remember the interview with Gaz Hock what the BBC did when he got the boot from the England squad. "I just overlied" ha ha ha

I've been told that in Australia Baeu Ryan is hilarious.

I just think it's a case of humour not translating well from Australia to the UK where most people have been to school.

Tony rea is an excellent pundit and is wasted by sky doing his ten minute piece on a sunday night. On the subject of sky, has Paul Cullen been given a permanent break from their commentary team? Can't remember the last time I saw him on there.
