Had the great pleasure of listening to Aggers and Blofeld live in there commentary box in the Lords media centre a couple of years ago when England played New Zealand, both extremely funny and very welcoming, oh and what a view!

If you had to pick one commentating legend from each sport and then from them choose the ultimate legend it, for me at least, could well have been Benauld.
As a side note I could never stand Brian Moore of ITV, who always seem to do sport and commentating extremely poorly.

Great choice.
You missed Tally Ho Kaye, Tiger Boy Simba, Big Shirley and Giant Haystacks - who I seem to recall seeing at a televised event by the Old Manor School (Goldwell Rooms.....?)
