tried to watch the recent snooker, but ruined again by endless commentator yapping

I think its time for a change from Parrot and Davis now , it needs revitalising as good as they both are and are legends of the game I think its time for new faces . I would like to see a rotational systems to give all a crack at it

Maybe, but I really like Steve Davis' analystic style and opinions because he is one of those who when he speaks, people listen. I'm always interested to see what he has to say and seems to spot things that sometimes the match commentators don't notice. And at the end of the day, he's been there, done that and people are more likely to listen to someone who has more world championships than the rest of the commentators combined.

I agree a change around though would be good though, who does everyone think would be the next pro/ex-pro to try his hand on the mic..

Nothing against Jimmy but i doubt if he would be any better than Davis, Parrott and Doherty. Just IMO of course..

John Virgo is the only one that I absoutely cannot listen to. My cat knows more about snooker than he does. Like another poster mentioned here, I find myself constantly talking back at the TV - 'No it won't', 'No he isn't', 'Actually you're wrong again- he's not playing for that ...' And he doesn't know when to shut up and let the play do the talking. Truly abysmal commentator.

I can bear Willie Thorne because he calls the shots, from a break building perspective, very well indeed. It's a pity about his conceit/insecurities or whatever it is that makes him so overly critical - that can be a bit onerous at times.

The rest of the bunch, I like.
Everton and Griffiths are pure class. Taylor is good, And I'm hoping to hear a lot more from Darren Morgan. These four know when to keep quiet and let us enjoy the good stuff.

Apart from the fact that I haven't got a cat I couldn't have put it better myself!
