The BBC is asking you to vote for the greatest sports commentator of all time. Sadly the list is a little limited and is no room for you to scribble John Parker's name at the bottom, but it is still worth voting - Richie Benaud is currently top of the table and he needs your help to stay there.
I have to say that I am really enjoying the rambling of the Australian radio commentators at the moment - in the brief periods given over to them by Radio Sport. Jim Maxwell and Geoff Lawson are a brilliant combination, the rambling dry wit of Maxwell sparks nicely with the, errr, rambling dry wit of Lawson. It reminds me of the glory days when Coney, Waddle and Parker shared a commentary box - back in the time before Waddle became all bitter and twisted - Parker's voice cracking like a school-boy's and wit so dry and sharp you weren't sure whether it would burn you or stab you.
