    Default Worst sports commentators

    There are lots to chose from but here are mine:
    Brendan Cannon
    Fittler
    Johns
    Ray Warren (he used to be good a long time ago)
    Alistair Lynch

    I'm sure there are more but these ones spring to mind immediately.

    Boy oh Boy! Wowee! We have found BT's target audience. I knew there was someone out there.
    Is it is side splitting banter with Richo that you enjoy? His crusade against umpires? Or his tendency to commentate on anything except what is happening in the game, like the length of socks?

    BT is the worst for me. Dwayne Russell gives me the shits too.
    I'd mute, but then you lose the atmospheric sounds too.

    From a "special" comments point of view in the AFL, can't stand Robert Walls.

    Anyone who refers to the sport they are commentating on as "our great game".

    How did I forget Leigh diffey and mark Howard? Both should be shot, at least twice.

    Johnny Miller shouldn't be on this list. He is one of the best analytical commentators in golf.

    I can't think of a good Australian golf commentator though. They all spend all day pumping up the product and not daring to be negative or attempt to be funny like those ****wits Ogle and Riley.

    I reckon with Miller it's more about the "how fkn good was I" routine than the quality of the comments he makes.

    Johnny Miller is the Chuck Norris of the golfing world...at least to Johnny Miller.
