I don't mind it when Kafe gives the occasional comment because he usually tells it how it is, but when he takes control he starts to sound like a brat

Phil Vickery has been a wonderfully impartial commentator for ITV..

Has never let his nationality get in the way of providing reasonable comments of English games. Almost as fair and balanced as Marto and Phil.

Biased commentary....Pocock is on his feet. There are no players (let alone opposing players) in contact over the ball: so it is not a ruck. Therefore Pocock was entitled to handle it. True that slowed it down but slowing it down is not illegal per se. Then Sharpe and Fat Cat drive over - neither comes from the side - but that is irrelevant since any ruck that was formed has ceased to exist either because the ball has emerged or because there are no longer (if there ever were) 2 players in contact over it.

We have a winner.
Peter Fiztsimons on ABC Grandstand with Martin Sneddon and others.
Every question addressed to Sneddon was either answered or translated and every answer was translated by the wordy Buffoon.
He gave long winded answers to question that he wasn't even asked and at one point was telling Sneddon what was involved in running an event like a world cup. of course like most things on which he expresses his long winded opinions he is an expert with no prior experience.......
Then he decided to tell we the hapless listeners that he had been to Marlborough Sound for the first time and it was wonderful: no doubt he thought it had been dramatically improved by his having been there as he thinks of most places he has been.
He offended half of NZ and half of Australia (maybe the same half?) by saying that NZ had the ugliest men in the world and the most beautiful women (has he seen once were Warriors - which is being remade as a documentary of today's event entitled "ONce were worriers")
Whoever it was who gave him his first gig in the media has a lot to answer for....

Good writers don't always make the best talkers.

He is a crap writer - it is cliche ridden, repetitive and permanently conversational in style and tone suggesting that he has no "range": he is not able to change his style to suit the occasion.
He was a bludger on the field and yet he trades off his 7 tests as if they were 1007

His major contribution to rugby was bruising Phil Sella's fist when he floored him.

Well as Ewen McKenzie said at a lunch I went to a few years back - he, Fitz, played 7 tests which was probably 7 tests to many.
