I'm with the Central Government. I'm here to help you. Now bend over, really, I'm helping you, just, just stay still. You'll feel better in a moment.
Noooooo man... I love 'Deny Mooorison', mate!
The accent is supremely annoying, but he such a character!
Him and Neil Johnson are my favourites, along with Harsha Bhogle (that guy is a legend). and I'm loving Polly whenever he comes on ... like Harsha, the man has a beautifully dark sense of humour.
As for the worst (lcoally): Trevor Quick for sure ... the all-time king of cr@p. Kepler is close, though.

Can't really appreciate what you don't understand.
John Helm is awesome until he starts pulling up a snort every 5 seconds
Edwil van Aarde (cricket commentator) was the worst for me, closely followed by Sasha Martinengo and his 2 sidekicks that present and commentate on Formula 1.
I switch channel when I hear Naas speak.
I'm sure he has a lot of insightful things to say, but damn!
Ashwin Willemse speaks like he was coached by Prof. Henry Higgins. He is like a sausage machine of standard and greatly over-used expressions. A sausage machine of clichés are closer to the truth.
Breyton Paulse .... Please FTLOG ... take him off the air.

It seems like Supersport has become a pension plan for retired players.
This is BS.
Supersport,
There are people who know just as much if not more about the professional game who did play it but who can at least speaketh English.

The idiot called the SA team Australia during the end of the rowing finals. He has got to be the worst.
Facts however are that most black people, and chinese people here in Australia, have to adopt an English first name as an alternate or even the primary name, just because 'western' English speaking people do not take the trouble to find out how to pronounce their names.
In the case of Pommie, it clearly references his first name, but to an extent also his 'accent'.
However, he is one of my favourite commentators.
As for 'bakkies' , maybe that's a term of endearment from his parents, but Glenn McGrath is never called 'pigeon' in real life and hardly even on field either. Aussies like nick names or shortening of names more than any, however not may of the sports people have permanent nicknames.
Even the last four captains of Cricket team - Tubbie, Tugger, Punter, Pup are not addressed by that in real life. So the sporting argument is not a good one.
The female boxing commentator must win this category.

Whoever the guy commentating during the 2012 Olympic tennis was.
The guy commentating in the weightlifting. Had a permanent throat rasp. Highly irritating.
some of these kunts are commentating on sporting events that they have no fsckin clue on...
Its pathetic.
I could do a better job.
