Barry Wilkerson Again!!!!!!

Not sure if I got the spelling of his last name correct, I stand to be corrected, but this bloke is not improving one bit.

It really speaks to a dearth of (non former-player) commentators in the region.

With the exception of Fazeer, the region has no one who can cut it internationally. Since the late Cozier and the now retired Reds P, the region commies, like Barry, are very poor.

Fortunately, past players like Mikey, Bish and others still represent the region internationally.

Nothing wrong with commentators not being former players.

I've seen Barry play on several ocassions, albeit not at the top level, and he was a decent player.

What's wrong with his commentary? You said all that and never said what was bad about it.

I didn't say anything is/was wrong. Commies are grouped into two camps:

1. Former greats- and we all love them and what they bring to the commentary team- Bish & Holding represents the region well and and we have many such commies in the region, so no problem here.

2. Professional commies- Those who never played the game professionally at the highest level. Like Cozier, Reds P, Fazeer. This is the group Barry belongs too. This group usually leads the commentary team and are professionals broadcasters- they do it for a living.

My bone is of group 2 in the WI- with the exception of Fazeer, blokes like Barry have not been improving and much is desired.
