Not disagreeing, but he's nowhere near the BT level of crapness.
When BT actually calls the game properly he is head and shoulders above Basil. Basil just can't keep up with the action, regularly gets players wrong and tries awful anecdotes when they're needed.
BT obviously doesn't always just call the game properly.
And not content with using it once, but again later in the game. He is putrid.

"Thanks for the Membries" was the second one...I hate him so much.
He likes his name-puns too much (membrey/memory, "I fought treloar/the law"), and he probably throws in too much player trivia, but those are fixable flaws and I reckon he'll mature into a modern day Sandy Roberts type. I.e. A solid caller with the odd cringe-worthy moment.
The worst, most vile and wretched caller is Hame "he's my brother" McLaughlin. That much is undeniable fact.
Beyond dreadful.He doesn't limit his calling incapabilities to the one sport either.
His call of the 100m Freestyle Final in Rio, when Chalmers won gold, was embarrassing.
Imagine Basil calling the Big Bash this summer...
He's bad. But the question really should be is he worse than Mark Ricciuto? At least Basil sometimes actually commentates the game. I get the feeling Ricciuto gets full of piss before the game starts, barracks his way through the first quarter like a one-eyed moron, skulls a bottle of Beam at half time, then just tries to make it to the end without passing out
So on the radio this morning he mentioned he is doing just 8 games this year when it aligns with him being in Sydney, and the one game in perth on a Thursday night.
So i assume GWS and swans games.
