Liggett could call any sport I reckon, keeps it simple but is very knowledgable and fun to listen to. Uses the right amount of enthusiasm to keep you interested, nothing over the top.
Larkham does special comments on the V8 Supercar telecasts like no other, no BS, just explains the intricacies of the sport in layman's terms brilliantly.
For me, both these guys convey the information in a no BS manner and make it all about their sport rather than them. No egos or pissing contents. Thats what I like.
I'm not familiar with Mark Larkham but Phil Liggett would have to be one of the best sports commentators going around; knowledgeable, says just enough, understands the difference between television and the wireless, isn't afraid to express an opinion, and has a voice that's easy to listen to.
