Rugby, Tennis, Golf, Boat Race.....don't think there's much doubt he's the new Barry......talking of whom, I wonder if we'll see him at Wimbledon this year?
According to the Wimbledon press pack Barry will be commentating, as will Nick Mullins which is slightly surprising

Looking back in this thread, it seems he was involved in Eurosport's coverage of the Australian Open this year. I know nothing else about him though!

I think he was a British player of some years back, a bit of a doubles specialist if I remember correctly.

Funny these two should both be commentating because the only voices I get confused with involve these two

Men - Petchey and Chris Bradnam sound similar to me

Women - Pleming and Liz Smylie sound so similar

If a series of slapstick puns are involved at rapid-gunfire-rate, then it's Chris Bradnam...

Great to hear Barry Davies get the first live main televised match of the tournament (i.e. on BBC Two, not the red button).

Lindsay will be part of a quality line-up including: Tim Henman, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Pat Cash, John Lloyd, Greg Rusedski, Andrew Castle, Tracy Austin, Virginia Wade, Mark Petchey, David Mercer, Barry Davies, Mark Cox, Simon Reed, Andrew Cotter, Nick Mullins, Chris Bradnam, Matt Chilton, Liz Smylie, Sam Smith, Jo Durie, Jason Goodall, Louise Pleming, Paul Hand and Ron McIntosh.
Ron deserves a higher billing than that after his epic match last year, his very first BBC Sport commentary, no less, the never-ending Mahut v Isner match. I'll think of that match whenever I see/hear him for the rest of his career.

He really was tough to listen to during the Schiavone/Dokic match

David Mercer and Barry Davies on the other hand have been on form as usual. I was slightly surprised to see Nick Mullins get the first match on Court 1 and an early run out on BBC Two today.

Ron deserves a higher billing than that after his epic match last year, his first, no less, the never-ending Mahut v Isner match. I'll think of that match whenever I see/hear him for the rest of his career.
Didn't that end up being the only match he did at last year's tournament?

Don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me! That one match was probably longer than everyone else's commentary duties put together!
