Muddly Talker is a legend, there will never be another like him sadly.

Towards the end of his career he became very useless. Constantly getting drivers, positions and times wrong and mixed up.

That was part of the charm. He's very passionate about the sport, and in the heat of that passion gets stuff wrong.

He was part of the commentary team for the Australian TV broadcast of the Aussie GP this year, and he was as brilliant as ever. He managed something that Allen, Ryder and Blundell haven't quite got the hang of - he was enthusiastic about Hamilton without going waaaaaay too far overboard with it

Tough choice!!

Blundell is better but Murray has the better voice. You know commentating was only ever his second job, he was a advertising executive apparently and only went full time commentating after retiring

Just to clarify

Brundle = Commentator
Blundell = Pre/Post Race analysis

Finally - All of those who dislike the current team can listen to Murray and realise how useless he actually is.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why he ended up leaving (sacked?) F1 commentating.

Although having said that Murray coming out with something that was completely wrong only to have the other guy (can't remember his name) trying to make sense out of it made F1 slightly more interesting.

awesome, I'll be listening to that then. The man is a legend.

OT, but I'm sure a few F1 fans will enjoy this

Well you have now.
Personally i prefer an Accurate commentary of the race i am watching. Having said that i would rather have Murrays mistakes instead of the current bunch of Divs who commentate.
