As he gets ready for his first-round match, former world champion Judd Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with the BBC commentary crew.
Former world champion Judd Trump has blasted the snooker pundits on the BBC, saying many of them should “do their homework.” play Wednesday, Trump takes play Ryan Day at Alexandra Palace in the opening round of the Masters tournament.
The BBC will once more carry live coverage of the Masters, along with the World Championship and UK Championship, snooker’s two major championships.
Ronnie O’Sullivan claimed Dechawat Poomjaeng “was off his head” at the English Open after defeating him 4-2 to progress to the next round in Brentwood on Wednesday. The pair engaged in a fun encounter with O’Sullivan enjoying his match up with one of the big characters in snooker.
While praising the legendary snooker player John Virgo, who will be replaced at the conclusion of this season after more than 30 years with the BBC, Trump held back his compliments. He has a unique voice that is great and cannot be taught. You either have it or you don’t, and he conveys everything well.
Following the World Championship later this year, Virgo and fellow snooker great Dennis Taylor announced last year that they would be leaving the BBC commentary team. Snooker enthusiasts took issue with the idea to substitute younger voices for the mainstays.
