Exactly who is Channel 7's worst commentator/broadcaster?

[Hudu Gurusingha]

We've all had to endure the absolute horror of Channel 7 broadcasting the Aussie Open, but who exactly takes the mantle of the worst of the worst?

Did I miss anyone worthy of note?

 

[Kram]

Bruce.

 

[drummond2fevola]

I am forced to listen to Basil on 6PR every weekday.

Fair to say I hate the campaigner.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Jim is leagues better than 7s worst. I say Bruce for the amount of coverage he is in, but special mention to that hipster flog Ash Williams and Basil.

 

[SterlingArcher]

That British woman is infuriating. Nasal and would be surprised if she knows Kerbers first name

 

[Redline]

Geoff Masters is the best of the locals in my opinion. He needs to be added.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I have to pick one?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Where is the 'everyone bar Courier' option?

For those of us that watch the masters series tournaments, we know we are lucky to have Jason Goodall and rob Koenig in commentary. Both extremely knowledgable and easy to listen to, while maintaining an excellent level of analysis.

Tennis is a visual sport, in terms of that it does not need a play by play commentator. We can see the score, we can see where the ball has gone, we can see the emotion on the players face. We don't need people like Bruce, Hamish, basil, etc.

All you need is a host of the overall coverage and then each match being commentated by tennis experts who can analyse and discuss key points and not talk at every single opportunity. Hewitt and courier, Woodbridge and clijsters, for example.

Bruce pisses me off 100x more than Hamish/Basil etc... at least they're on the alternative channel matches, Bruce is somehow on the A team and commentates the main matches.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Bruce cause he geniunely has no idea about tennis.

....Where to start

Bruce. Actually don't mind Hamish and Basil, or Todd Woodbridge. Renae Stubbs annoys me too but Bruce is the most annoying. I like Geoff masters and Alan Stone the best.

I mentioned on another thread I watched a doubles match the other day using their live stream and there was no commentary at all - it was pure bliss

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

I dont rate Woodbridge. At all. In a visible box on the bottom left of screen it says "two break points". We can see it. You don't need to tell us.

That's what I hate about his calling. Just talks for the sake of it and states the obvious. Oh, and his poonsy, arrogant tone.

And because he is a campaigner.

Where has Fred Stolle been? And Newks? They're not amazing, but miles better than the tripe we've had to deal with this year

I love Newk and Fitzy and their unabashed barracking for the Aussies No doubt they will be around for the Davis Cup in a few weeks

Fred been doing a bit of commentary for the alternate streams on the app/online heard him a few times. A real professional.

Fitzy got my vote for worst of the worst. I literally can't tolerate listening to him at all. He's so terrible at micro-analysing every point of a match and then contradicting himself. And he is so biased too - will only focus on one player only, to the point that if it's an Aussie or 'Roj' you'd have no idea who they'd be playing if you were just listening to him.

Hamo

The British women is called Sam Smith and she was at one stage the No. 1 British women and was a top player in the 80s. She travels the world and is a fine tv commentator in her own right. She is one of my favourites. Ash is not a tv commentator and really shouldn't be included. At least I don't have to put up with Luke Darcy for a while longer.

 

[Hamingja]

He has been gone for a while now but I still want to vote for John Alexander.

 

[Tulip]

Stubbsy just ahead of Hamish, with good memories of pre-2001 Bruce keeping him just off top in third.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Roger Rasheed tied with Bruce, with strong mentions to Newcombe. The only good one is Courier and the nice change with Kim Cljisters.

 

[mikeh]

Actually most of them sound pretty good when you compare them to Channel 9 cricket commentators!

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

It really is embarrassing how many of their staff could be reasonable entrants in this poll. Sports broadcasting in this country is ****ed.
