Allott isn't one of my favourites, but he strikes me as reasonably
competent. My bete noir is Bob Willis; just listening to his dreary
voice makes me depressed.
As for "Blowers", I think a programme that goes on as long as TMS needs
a mix of commentators of different styles, and I find that he makes a
good contrast to the more "serious" types. His return to TMS has at
least partially filled the void left by the death of Brian Johnston.
