The BBC commentary is not miles ahead, it heas been the exact same commentary for the past 25 years. They always say the exact same things, seem clueless, irritating and boring.

i D...dave, i wasnt 422 and dont know who they are.<br /><br />i DO think you are a fantastic commentator.<br /><br />however, youre reply saying "thats why we have a player in the box" is a bit of a farce.<br /><br />yes, most of the players "in the box" with you are ex players, but they call all the wrong shots.<br /><br />mike "my apologies" hallet and joe "guesswork" johnson are notorious for it.<br /><br />they were great players and are both nice guys (met them several times), but theyre absolutely rock bottom as commentators. <br /><br />unsurprisingly the criticising i put there isnt widespread, because most dont understand simple stuff like reverse side and delicate things, but having a commentator who calls every double a cross double is shocking, even if he was a good pro.<br /><br />without you and alan macmanus (maybe with one exception) eurosport is a very poor comparison to the bbc.<br /><br />mind you, the bbc has its fare share of jokers in the box too, but with a larger team, most of the time there are no major gaffs.<br /><br />if anyone reading this disagrees, go and sit through any random 4 frames with mike hallet or joe j commentating and count the errors and guesswork on offer.<br /><br />as said, YOU are great. i undertand the analyst and ex pro combo and it would work great at the bbc...like when phil yates is in the box at times at other evernts elsewhere....but on ES, is pants. not fresh pants either!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-29377056624456382502012-05-30T10:33:26.006+01:002012-05-30T10:33:26.006+01:00That's your opinion.

I enjoy it and the blog very much. <br /><br />However, I would like to offer some constructive criticism on your commentating skills. I know you're not an ex player, but I think my point is highlighted best when you take the BBC commentary against your own commentary of Hendry's recent 147 at the Crucible. On BBC, and with John Virgo and Dennis Taylor, you are getting a blend of comments about their character, skill, personality, mixed with a lot of comments about how they are going to play the next shot and explaining the options to the viewer. Your commentary, however, is solely based on statistics, how many previous 147's made, there is very little comments on the actual shot taking place (in fact there were none in your commentary against Hendry). There needs to be more of a mix to make it an enjoyable commentary. At the moment guys like Virgo, Taylor and Foulds are considerably far ahead. I'm sure you will take this in the spirit it is meant though and up your game for next season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-79823347826939590882012-05-26T07:09:16.793+01:002012-05-26T07:09:16.793+01:00Snooker Cue Is the most important part of Snooker....<a href="http://www.snookercueist.com/category/snooker-players-maximum-breaks-of-147/" rel="nofollow">Snooker</a> Cue Is the most important part of <a href="http://www.snookercueist.com/category/snooker-players-maximum-breaks-of-147/" rel="nofollow">Snooker</a>.
