We have no right to complain
By Will 4 months ago, Comments
I’ve just returned from the beach, where I have mostly been lounging for the past few days, and thought I’d watch Queen’s. Summer and tennis go hand-in-hand, never more so than when you’re not working, but I’ve only managed to last eight minutes. The match hasn’t even begun, even - but if I have to listen to these mindless imbeciles commentate, I might just put my foot through the TV.
We have absolutely no right to complain about our cricket commentators. I’m sure you all have your favourites, and you certainly will have the odd one or two who make your ears bleed, but on the whole we’re extremely lucky. They’re knowledgeable, interesting, sometimes witty and decent. None of that can be said of tennis commentators, all of whom seem to have fake mid-Atlantic accents which make Lloyd Grossman’s dulcet tones palatable.
“He’s not only a great player - he’s a great guy.” Oh do climb out of their arses, for the love of god.
