Re: Rating the commentators
Reply #18 –
Two sports I know many on here don't like are cycling and V8 Supercars. However, IMO, they contain two of the best sports commentators in the business, one a caller and one special comments. They are Phil Liggett and Mark Larkham.
Liggett could call any sport I reckon, keeps it simple but is very knowledgable and fun to listen to. Uses the right amount of enthusiasm to keep you interested, nothing over the top.
Larkham does special comments on the V8 Supercar telecasts like no other, no BS, just explains the intricacies of the sport in layman's terms brilliantly.
For me, both these guys convey the information in a no BS manner and make it all about their sport rather than them. No egos or pissing contents. Thats what I like.
