Charles -vs- Gooch

[The General]

These 2 are commentating together again. They really do dislike each other ...

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

Who is Charles?

The only Charles I can think of is Ray Charles, and I'd be rather surprised if he was commentating.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I don't blame Goochie, Colville's a knob. How they can let that guy anywhere near a microphone is shocking. Thankfully they don't let him near the Tests. The other one who really grates with me is Allott, thinks he was really great but can't hack it when up against the likes of Nas, Beefy or Mikey.

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

Of course Colville. I didn't realise Kev was on first name terms with him - I was trying to think of someone with a surname Charles.

I agree with you entirely BB. One of my greatest cricketing disappointments was at Old Trafford a few years back, when one of my mates missed Colville's head with a tennis ball by about 2 centimetres. We were all so gutted as chances like that are so rare, we refused to speak to him for the entire journey back.

Quality story.

Really? One of the surliest, most curmudgeonly commentators I've ever heard... someone I always try to avoid. Give me Gower, Boycs or Nicholas any day...

Most of all, give me Richie. No one else comes close.

I meant more in standing in the pro game. The likes of Nas, Beefy and Mikey are legends, whereas Allott is just a reasonable county pro, who managed to play a couple of Tests.

Can't disagree with that

Incidentally, Northants all out for 200....

The Jury is still out on Willis though. Did he ever have a sense of humour ??

Yep. Poacher turned gamekeeper. he always used to moan (and quite rightly too) about the miserable Yorkshire gits like Trueman and Illingworth criticising in their "wouldn't have happened in my day" and "I really don't know what's going on out there" modes. Yet, he sits in the commentary box, and spouts the same kind of stuff.

I rememer listening to Colville on the radio a few years back, when he presented Sport on 5 Sunday in the summers, and he interviewed Anika Sorenstam ( I think) after she won the Women's British Open golg championship, and the first thing he said to her in the interview was:

"Now, you have won this tournament do you think you might go and do something useful like caddy for Faldo!"

Ar5e hole!
