How bad is John Gywnne?!?

It's more depressing watching bowls on Sky with that muppet commentating than it is watching Derby! Wink

Why have Sky chosen a man that knows nowt about bowls to commentate on the Waterloo? He constantly says that a bowl is a good 'un, even when it is 2 yards short or 2 yards through! Why don't they have an ex player commentating? Are they trying to kill the game as a spectator sport? My seven year old daughter could do a better job!!!

to be honest can anybody name a single individual who is both familiar with the game and an experienced TV commentator.

Everton Well-Biased ?....... don't think so.

Might I suggest Keith Rudman ?

To be fair to John Gwynne.... he aint a complete stranger to the game.

Keith Coates at Grate Moor - presuming it's the same Keith Coates who used to voice the totally unbiased County videos in the early 90's ?

Born in Fallowfield and brought up a Salopian actually.

We had him a couple of years back at our presentation night and it was that connection that apparently got him a shot at the Waterloo commentary.

Not a bad bloke actually, and while its right his bowls knowledge is a little limited, it was thought that his radio/TV experience was more important facet.

However, if the TV coverage is gonna take off we need a new bowls mouthpiece. A succeeder to Harry Rigby if you will.

i would like the commentator to be a bowler who knows all the phrases used around the green and make it more like being there. Even a Legend of the game would do although they would all be playing in the competition.
