Sports commentators have the best job. Secretly we all want to be one. Every weekend a few hundred have the privilege of going to sports events and doing what they love. But who are the best at it?

I’ve created my top ten Australian Sports Commentators I have listened to. Feel free to tell me if I’m right or wrong:

TOP TEN
10. Sandy Roberts
9. Gordon Bray
8. Tim Lane
7. Dwayne Russell
6. Fred Stolle
5. Ray Warren
4. Clinton Grybas
3. Dennis Cometti
2. Bruce McAvaney
1. Richie Benaud

Why Richie, you may ask?

Well, I love Bruce, as he could call a Fijian hackey sack competition and know everything about it. But I can’t go past Benaud and his masterful voice.

He has an aura around him and when he leaves, he will be sadly missed. His ability to sum up a scene with very little words makes him the best going around.
