| Quote: t-r-i-n-i-t-y "Sky's cricket commentary, and the BBC's on Test Match Special, to me, is the best out there. Everything else lags behind. Voss (and Noble) have brought a warmth to the commentary which adds a little more colour to the action. Can't see any negatives in it.'"
To be fair, Cricket lends itself to the Henry Blofeld/Bumble commentary style of chatting inane nonsense - The actual action is so stop-start that it needs the comedic element to keep the listener/viewer interested.
As for sport like ours, it doesn't need jokes, anecdotes and wacky characters, it needs an actual commentary - A description of the action has it unfurls, with a minimal analysis to guide the viewer along.... For me, the guy on the BBC (Dave Woods?) does a decent job, its just a shame he has Jiffy with his incoherent rubbish beside him - Best for me would be Shaun McRae or John Kear as analysts, who are both intelligent guys, and who importantly know when to shut up and let the commentator do his job.

To be fair he did a great job on Sky before he went to Union.

No, because he wouldn't be having a chicken roll in the 3 Pigeons pub every game.

But we have heard which pub he's been in and what he eat and drank, every game.

Nice to hear him enjoying the culinary delights of the UK. Plus it will be good for local business. Fair play to the bloke.
I hope he writes a book about his experiences in the pubs around the UK once the World Cup is over. I'd buy it.

| You can't please everyone but the majority of posters seem to be a fan - And I am too in fairness.
But then again I don't hate Eddie & Stevo. Only current commentator I can't stand is Jonathan Davies.

| I'm disappointed by the lack of 40-20 attempts in this World Cup. In a normal televised superleague game there are at least 10 attempts according to Eddie.

Careful what you post about on here, Inspector Wire Quin from the Humour(less) Police might try to lecture you about enjoying yourself.

| The commentary I've heard this World Cup with voss in particular really does beat down the Eddie and Steve duo into the ground and then some.
I never comment on these Eddie and Stevo/ commentary topics but having seem the difference from what I hear week in week out we really are served up the rubbish left at the bottom of the pan.
