FTA-TV Basil Zempilas- Commentary TIPS

[Cleavy]

Bazs go to topic during the aerials was a countdown of how many others needed to **** up the landing for the aussie advance to the next round/make the final/get a medal

to be fair, that's telling the viewers what they want/need to know.

I forget your average viewer is too thick to work that out for themselves

Basil: "Abramenko, you beauty!" FMD. I bet he practised that in his hotel room.... or is he here calling off the tv?

He's no Smokey Dawson.

Shame only footy fans would have an idea what he's talking about.

[Leeda]

cheap dormitory humour, he revels in it, but has a good voice to make up for it.

Well Kerry stokes must be confused. No other explanation for it. HeHmust be confusing basil with someone who is a talented, knowledgeable, nuanced sports presenter and commentator.

Kerry Stokes is old..and vulnerable, he thinks Basil is a lovely accompaniment to tomato..

I'm not sure if I heard correctly, but a caller to SEN last week might've said that Basil is a friend of Kerry's son

Is any profession so infested with nepotism as journalism in Australia. It’s like the royal family

TV

No chance of the North Koreans kidnapping him then

He's as bad at calling the tennis as he is the football.

Really needs to learn to shut up. It's bad enough that we have to listen to him when he's supposed to be talking, but he absolutely shouldn't be talking mid-point.

I don't know what Channel 7 sees in him. He's just completely hopeless.

Drove me near insane during the Australian Open. Would not shut up. Bastid nearly cost me a TV and my daughters got to hear me drop the C bomb for the first time. Eldest is 23 so I'd been going ok until........................Basil (Campaigner)

Talking about all of the swim meets that the swimmer Ruck had on her schedule - "So Ruck ... she's had a lot of hitouts"

Bas was dribbling his normal crap on the 6PR breakfast show last Friday and mentioned he had Dinner with Kerry Stokes last week.... probably shoring up his spot as the new captain of the cricket commentary team....what the hell does Kerry see in this guy????

Can just imagine it Basil, Hame, Darce and BT doing the cricket

 

[branedotorg]

Fellatio

how deep could he get with that proboscis?

got to be something else

 

[CJApples87]

Can just imagine it Basil, Hame, Darce and BT doing the cricket

Basil: “And he’s edged the ball to the man with the gloves and Ricky Ponting takes the catch behind the wickets!!!”

“No wait, it was Tim Paine. Well there was a lot of confusion from everyone about who actually took the catch but the confusion has cleared and it’s Tim Paine who has taken it.”

New Channel 7 commentary team recruit Ricky Ponting: “Not sure there was any confusion there as Tim Paine takes a great catch.”

 

[pepsi]

Basil on australia getting their first run in each innings, "Australia is off to a great start!"

 

[damochandler]

Basil doing the cricket. Australia lose 3 wickets in 3 balls to start the test match. “Great start by Australia”

South Africa win the World Cup beating Australia by 300 runs. “Solid effort by South Africa. Australia what a magnificent display in the final. So brave in defeat was so close”

or: "HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING AS GOOD AS THAT IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE?!!?!?!?!"
Other commentator: "Baz, do you know how long these games go for? It's 5 days, not 5 overs"

What will he be doing on the footy after the Empire Games end?

It's almost as unbelievable as Robbo being where he is in the media. It doesn't matter if they're good blokes

 

[GreyWind]

What will he be doing on the footy after the Empire Games end?

Besides ruining the game?

Besides ruining the game?

I'm hoping he'll be relegated to just doing Perth games, but that's probably very wishful thinking

This is amazingly accurate.
