Skaife - he just tends to shout when commentating and it's annoying
Larkham - IMO he is just not presentable and he hasn't raced in years and god only knows has he driven a new Supercar one without a watts linkage ? Crompton the Boss of BMX is really good given he is both a driver and commentator Murphy is wasted in the pits and would be better used elsewhere |

I don't mind the current line-up.
Depending on which coverage you're viewing, will detirmine your overall experience. The line-up they have, no matter which way you slice it, is very pundit-laiden though. |

I loved the Pommy bloke who did the on-track at Bathurst a few years back.
Addison??? No one else has ever said Winterbottom quite so properly.......... |

Crompton has done Aussie Racing Cars, TCM & Toyota 86 - besides Crompton was a commentator first and driver second
Would like to see them, Brad Jones & Murphy still driving eg Bathurst 12 Hour |

I don’t think the current commentary lineup is too bad. It’s certainly more bearable than the Channel 9 Cricket commentary team.
I actually don’t remember a time when people weren’t whinging in some form about the talking heads. Oastler anybody? |

let me leave you with two bits of commentary, pole laps from the last 12 hour and the 1000
Bathurst 1000 2017 Bathurst 12 hour 2018 Reckon we are pretty fortunate with supercars commentary, not perfect but still excellent |

I did enjoy the McLaughlin lap, certainly looked more on it than the Mostert lap. You can’t get much better than that

The Aussies certainly know how to commentate on a quick lap. I guess with commentary it’s whatever floats your boat, commentators are good in different ways

I like the 12 hour boys too, it wouldnt feel like the 12 hour without them. Not sur hwy theyre being compared, I think they both do a decent job, and both serve their purpose.

but when you watch those two bits of commentary on effectively the same thing (pole lap in bathurst shoot out), you can see how lucky we are in supercars with what we have, even though they arent perfect |
