Bob Willis - The Analyst

[Shri]

I have been watching a lot of his clips today and boy, he doesn't hold back, does he?

I don't know if he's good at what he does but he is very entertaining. Feel free to post your favorite clips here.

His best work is definitely on Daryl Harper

Half the fun is watching other people squirm around him. And Daemon is right, he is at his best when ranting about Harper.

He's never been one to hold back but it does feel like he plays up to the shock jock reputation these days.

This is stuff can be funny is hindsight but I find it pretty obnoxious at the time given how it gives 0 credit to the opposition and so basically denigrates the thing I just spent 5 days watching.

Man I/m stoned right now and can't stop laughing. I feel like I might break something inside.

 

[Furball]

He's a wanker.

I/m

Yeah, you are.

He's a complete douchebag but he's hilarious so it's OK. Still remember whenever he talked about Ajmal in the 2012 series, he'd say he "bowled" (while doing double finger quotes) pretty well.

Being a miserable **** is kind of his shtick though. Personally find stuff like this more tolerable in a studio environment than on commentary since the latter actively distracts from the viewing experience.

Yeah but it's got to the point where I'm not sure if I'm watching the honest opinion of an analyst or Bob Willis playing up to the persona he's created for himself.

The Ponting's become a mercenary one was golden..I remember hearing that at the time. Made funnier by the guys who taped in from the TV cracking up in the background.

'Well they're not winning any games are they Charles".


Anyway Shri, you missed the greatest one of all....

This is how I feel too.

When I first started watching him and he was just reaching the peak of his fame as an analyst and everything he said felt really real and genuine.

Now it feels forced and every episode of The Verdict, it looks like he is thinking of something funny or controversial to say because that is what's expected of him. He has essentially become a parody of himself.

Bumble's impression was gold.
