Phil Dark? He's a top bloke and a genuine motorcycle racing enthusiast. If you can do better, feel free to stick your name in the hat.

I thought he was quite good, although not sure about the 'backing it in Rossi styles' comments. Sure he's the biggest name in motorcycle racing but he's not the only rider doing it at that level. And I'm a massive Rossi fan.

Phil does a fairly good job but it can be painful at times. You see someone make a pass on screen and it takes him half a lap to notice.

The people on the camera are annoying. Battle for second going on and all they do is watch the leader go through the corner by himself.....

He might be a top bloke as i'm sure you are, can you tell me if that is commentated live during the event or later. Sorry but I don't like him as a commentator and i'm entitled to my opinion, he makes too many mistakes and comments on thing he doesn't have the facts straight on. That said i'll give Phil Dark one thing he's no where near as annoying as the Englishman that commentates on the WSBK broadcasts. It's not enough to be an enthusiast, some experience at a reasonable level in the sport you commentate on is always preferable. Just listen to the Australian that commentates on the WSBK with the Englishman, he's good because he knows completely what he's talking about. I know it's easy to be an armchair critic but don't pretend we don't all do that at some point...

I wouldn't think it'd be up for a while mate give it some time, I don't think that broadcast program is finished yet

Sorry dude but...
As usual we will have to wait for On Demand to post up the link, there is usually a delay after they screen a program to when you can view online, but i expect you will be able to use that link to view later

Agreed, but what I'm saying is that no one better has put their hand up, and therfore Phil is it for now. It's also extremely difficult to get all of the facts 100% correct when it's not your full time job. That team works pretty bloody hard on race day to get around all the front runners, interviewing them between races and trying to get shots whilst there's other racing happening that they also have to shoot.

Seriously though, give comentating a go some time, it's fricken hard. I've done it myself and even turned down a gig commentating for the drag racing Nationals at Meremere a few years back as I was afraid of knowing less than the hardcore fans and looking like a dick.

Edit: Jellywrestler makes an AWESOME comentator but there's no way in hell you could televise his words of wisdom, the BSA would be flooded............

[cowboyz]

ill be keen to see it too!

[cave weta]

Shhhh you guys - Im trying to watch!

All fair points but as I said i don't have to like it, there's alway the mute button anyway, I don't mind the interviewing side of it and i'm sure he and the broadcast team do work hard and i'm definitely not saying the job isn't difficult but some of the comments during the race are so obviously wrong as it can be seen on the broadcast but whatever at the end of the day it's not worth getting up over.

Went to school with Phill All he ever wanted to do was commentate on racing. He used to set himself up at our local Motorcross events and commentate them.

Shook his hand a couple of years ago at Paeroa, he was a bit busy at the time
