fliss44 346 Posted January 4, 2010 OK, not brain dead. But having heard Kelvin talk and commentate at various times over many years, I certainly don't think he'll be winning Mastermind any time soon. Erudite and learned his comments most certainly are not. Does one need to be erudite and learned to be a speedway commentator? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted January 4, 2010 Kelvin is a bit more than a mere 'commentator' as he brings practical experience at a high level of the subject matter. He comes over as a good deal smarter than a lot of footballers I have heard offer 'their pearls of wisdom'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zonkers 7 Posted January 4, 2010 Does one need to be erudite and learned to be a speedway commentator? What a ridiculous thing to say. I think anyone who is commentating on tv on anything ought to be tbh..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
