What are you talking about? Whateley has a huge amount of respect from both the football and cricket communities

Yeah, I have to say this is the first time I've run across someone who particularly dislikes Gerard Whateley's commentary.

Murray Walker was shitcanned from f1... So legends be damned
I didn't particularly enjoy his commentary pre stroke. Couldn't help but think he should have got the redundancy instead of Drew Morphett. It's good for him to get back into it and giving it a go though. Perhaps they should scale back his duties a bit.

surely NSW cricket will have a say on it
Indeed - only happy when talking about NSW crickey. He's horribly overrated.
The ABC coverage has been very average for a couple of years. Nannes and Rogers are really boring. Jim Maxwell is past his best and I can’t stand Gerard Whateley.
For anybody wondering how somebody cannot like Whateley, Read the character assasination that he did on Ross Lyon when he moved to Fremantle. It was crass, false, unprofessional and appallingly self righteous. He was overly judgmental and has never acknowledged how pathetic his attack was.
Compare that to Offsiders last week when he was fawning over Ange Postecoglou. “Australia needs you”. He is not balanced. He plays favorites terribly.
Yes, he is articulate. His ball by ball descriptions arevery good, but he has lost me with his two faced views and now I am just annoyed whenever I hear his whiny nasal voice.
I enjoy Simon Katich’s expert views, enjoy Aggers to an extent, but fairly one dimensional nowadays and enjoy Alison Mitchell’s work.

I actually like Nannes. He’s the most two-eyes ex-player I’ve ever heard as a commentator and for a fast bowler of real pace he carries none of the traditional meat-headed traits of the ‘cartel.’
I don’t dislike him, but he is very white bread. Certainly not biased, I agree.
Yep - precisely why a lot of Freo fans have a significant level of disdain for him.
Haven't listed to ABC yet but it's incredibly saddening to hear that Jim's struggling. In many ways he's the radio's "voice of the game". Just hearing him talk brings back a lot of fond memories of summers spent with the TV muted and listening to Maxwell, O'Keefe, Harsha, Aggers etc putting the C9 boys club to shame.
