[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 942686, member: 58362"] I was meaning if you had taken the handicap from the start, but I follow the logic in what you are saying either way. By and large, I agree with your ranking too, the BBC are much better off for ditching "he's just gone favorite" Thorne and bringing Alan McManus in. Davis is much better in the studio than in the commentary box, my big problem is that he's a puppet for Barry Hearn, this is patently obvious at times (a bit mike Wayne "there's definately going to be a 9 darter tonight" Mardle in the darts), but I feel like it creeps in to him just saying what he thinks the audience want to hea far too much. He'd be excellent if he was more candid. Maybe Murphy will develop as a commentator, but he's also more suited to the studio at the moment. I'm not sure that he's got a clear idea of the difference between the two in his head at the moment. Think I'd have to slide Taylor down the rankings a bit, he's a bit of a dinosaur, but he's so likeable, he gets away with it. It goes for many sports, but snooker maybe could benefit from the old fashioned idea of having one broadcasting professional partnered with a recent player "colour commentator". [/QUOTE]
