That list is bogus. 'Best Commentators of All Time' ??!? Should be UK's Best, but the article does not mention that.
I don't see Danny Gallivan or Pat Sumerall or Howard Cosell, etc., or for racing, Chris Economaki.

Most people have no idea who 95% of the commentators on that list are!

The article was published in a British newspaper, and voted for by British citizens. The title was 'Best Commentators of All Time', and every name on there is linked with British broadcasting. It doesn't claim to a worldwide comparison or it would be titled "Best commentators in the WORLD ever"..

I would expect a Canadian newspaper to have a list of all time great Canadian commentators, and it wouldn't bother me...
