I look over Crofty's mistakes because he's juggling the timing, the race and what's going on outside the commentary box. It's very easy to criticise whilst watching the TV because you've just got the world feed in front of you. The commentators watch the feed and absorb all of the other crucial information as well as having to look out for when to hand over to interviews or Ted Kravitz. I have a lot of respect for what they do. All commentators will make errors. I mean, Murray did all the time.
But at least I find Crofty is generally entertaining and always sounds enthusiastic. I'm sure some of you find Ben Edwards entertaining, but he really doesn't keep me enthused. His voice isn't annoying like Allen's was, it's just quite boring. If he ever did audio books, I'd buy them to cure insomnia.
McNish is definitely better than Hill, but I think that Johnny brings some vital humour and charm to the line-up. It was a bit dry in Melbourne, when it was just Lazenby and Hill.
