I dunno, Hendry and Parrott are perfect for this match. Both are the type of guys who'll really say it when the players are playing crap. They really shine as a sort of Statler and Waldorf for this kind of snooker.
Hendry I like in most matches, but Parrott is often too negative for me, but ideal here.
I never got used to Farrar, he seemed to be even more generic random catchphrase than most of the people who already have a reputation for that.
You just described Parrott as perfect.
Just behave.

Quite fancy Craigie to be the surprise of the tournament and make the quarters.
The other three players on his side of the draw have not looked great, or in the case of Williams, is quite inconsistent

Oh!,what a pity,it,s finished!.
4-3 is a great result,considering the way John played,it,s nuthin new though,he,s done it countless times,managing to be only a frame,2 behind,instead of trailing by a lot more frames,playing rubbish.
Well done John!.

I remember watching a Boxing Match a few weeks later and he sounded very different on commentary. Almost like he was trying to emulate Ted Lowe when commentating on the snooker.

Yeah, he's mile better when doing Serie A. Hate his Ted Lowe approach to snooker

He wasn't very good. He tried to be like whispering Ted Lowe, but failed miserably.

Tian also received a one-year ban from China's cue sports administration, following an investigation into allegations that he had sexually abused and beaten his fellow team-mate, Zhou Mengmeng, at the Doha Asian Games in 2006, in which she subsequently gave a formal apology regarding this.

Rob Walker tried the whispering approach once. It was worse than Farrar. By far. Rar.
