Kate Abdo is a surprise addition. No mention of Andy Clarke either, but I would not be shocked if he and Glenn McCrory are still involved on occasion. I wonder. if Ed Robinson will be moving back to commentary.
Nick Halling has been doing some articles for Boxing Monthly. It appears that the decision was made not to renew his or Jim Watt's contracts, Watt was allowed to bow out gracefully by announcing he was retiring. |

I do think Vassos and Dan is quite a strong line-up for main commentators. I knew it was a long shot but I was really hoping that John Part would be making a BBC comeback for this. |

I'm surprised they are not using Stuart Pyke for this considering he does some freelance work for the BBC, ITV and Sky. Particularly surprised Gabby Logan isn't part of the coverage as well considering she does the annual Let's Play Darts For Comic/Sports Relief.

Very disappointed that Colin Murray and John Rawling are not involved. It may be that JR is available for one day if he has boxing commitments and they would be unlikely to want commentators who can't commit to both days which is why probably also George Riley isn't involved.

The BDO Darts seemed to be the last connection for Colin Murray at the BBC and i have to say im not hugely surprised he has been replaced. But i cant say i would have picked Jason Mohammad as the presenter. I agree with your commentary sentiments. A safe and solid commentary team that should be good for the tournament.
Not sure if there is anyone else at BBC Sport I would have picked though, I do like Jason though. I know it wouldn't have been likely but I would have loved it to have been Matt Smith. |

Yeah I would have been happy with Stuart Pyke as well, he is a top darts commentator. Thank god its not Gabby Logan, I love her on what else she does but don't think she would be right for this.
I'm not all to surprised that Colin Murray isn't on although its slight ironic that today he re-joined Fighting Talk on 5Live and they are doing a special show live from this tournament! Not sure if there is anyone else at BBC Sport I would have picked though, I do like Jason though. I know it wouldn't have been likely but I would have loved it to have been Matt Smith. |

There was an article in the local paper the other day that Glenn McCrory has parted company with Sky Sports, not sure if this is down to recent events or Sky refreshing their line up.

Davis Cup Semi Final Great Britain vs Argentina
Andy Murray vs Juan Martin Del Potro - John Inverdale and John Lloyd Very surprised that Inverdale has got this one. The biggest match of the tie and it is surprising. I do wish that he would stop talking while points are in play. It shouldnt happen in tennis commentaries. |
