gult Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Is he the worrst we have seen so far in the IPL? Pretty loud mouth, talks BS all the time like a mad dog. I know there are many bad commentators but IMO no one (even LSRK) can top him. What do you say? p.s. I don't usually open threads, but I was so irritated with him for so many matches, and hence this thread

julianlev Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Not to generalize, but Aussie commentators are usually quite blunt and direct I know because I've listened to them commentate rugby and cricket for years I personally dont mind it, but I can see how it could get on someones nerves
kubrickian Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 He struggles to pronounce names and often mixes them up, quite a few times during every match. Sometimes its funny and sometimes annoying.

He can be all that. But he struggles to pronounce even simple names.
gult Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 Hmm, I didn't notice that he stammers!! I thought he was purposefully trying hard to imitate danny morrison by twisting the words and shouting loud. Probably because of stammering, he can't control his pitch when he talks a long sentence and yes it's really irritating. I think I was a bit harsh in opening this thread because stammering is not an easy problem to get rid of. Of course, this doesn't change my opinion about his general commentary skills.
VRV Singh Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Sorry, I'm sure he's a nice enough guy but damn he's terrible. Mispronunciation is fair enough but he regularly mixes names up as well. Think he tries to build some sort of persona with the shouting and faux outrage when something goes wrong on the field which doesn't work..
Rusty Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Wow people are slamming brad hogg(irritating yes) here when clowns like danny morrison are let loose to commentate. He's the worse commentator by a country mile closely followed by LSK,BH and russell arnold.

But Brad hogg has some additional qualities.
Sid Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Youthappa,DFL maximum,Adressing Simon Taufel as Simon Doull,this man has done it all :facepalm:
SachDan Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Hogg is the worst, closely followed by LSK and Morrisson.

urbestfriend Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 To be frank, I enjoy Hoggy's commentary not because he is good at commentating but because he regularly provides some WTF moments which are unintentional but genuinely funny. He is extremely loud mouth, rude on co-commentators, umpires and players and have very strong views. He gives a different perspective to otherwise boring commentary. Some of the WTF moments I can recall from back of my mind. 1) He was interviewing Symonds, Symonds repeated twice that pitch is two faced, next question Hoggy asks " Is this pitch two faced". Symonds was pissed off :) 2) Square-leg umpire refers a stumping decision to third umpire, Hoggy is going mad for time-wasting. He doesn't stop his ranting no matter what. 3) During his interview with Taufel, he asks why umpires are very strict on legside wides, Taufel gives an answer, but our dear Hoggy is not to relent. He is asking the same question again. Simon doull is embarrassed and he chips in to improvise the situation. There are lot of WTF moments he provides and I started liking his commentaty. Go Hoggy.
ganeshran Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Worst commentator is L Sivaramakrishnan.. this guy is so irritating, he make Siddhu look tolerable
Ramzz Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 LSK, Hoggy and harsha...get on my nerves. Harsha has become a blabber mouth.
