I just watched a video that popped up on my YouTube feed.
And have to say that the commentary was outstanding. ITTF take notice, entertaining and informed commentary kept me watching a close mid level match that I would never have watched without it. I think that this sport like all sports, needs an informed and entertaining voice, that gives insight and doesn't just react to the score or a long rally. The serve, and receive were respected, and discussed and strategy also. All with good humor and intelligence. Well done guys, whoever you are. A bigger effort needs to be made to credit the commentators and package the video/ match. If they ( the commentators) were thrown into ITTF matches, Superleague, and DTTL, I think TT might actually have a fighting chance. USA table tennis might certainly not a force in the rankings, but it should and could take the lead in packaging an untapped sport. |

I'm pretty sure that one of those guys is Adam Bobrow.

Off topic, but when it comes to commentating the Irish commentators got game... |

I too know Adam and I agree with OCVillager that he isn't the one playing. But the original poster was referring to Adam being one of the commentators. I'm positive too that the play by play was done by Adam. Excellent job! |

"And here you can see that er, Tuan Le has 9 points, while- Oh, it looks like this game is over at 11 points to the other player. Well that was a quickie, I thought games were to 21 points."

At 07:33 one commentator refers to the other as ‘Adam’. I think it’s a really good commentary too. Learnt some new terms from them. It’s always my impression that the North Americans give such good commentaries. Unlike John Burgess (that’s his name right?), who has nothing more to offer than ‘topspin’, ‘down-the-line’ and ‘you beauty’. |

Don't forget the really weird one... "That's a good boy" Yeah I definitely meant the commentator and not the people playing. He was one of the people who took my girlfriend and I around LA last September and I thought it sounded like him

A lot of those serves look illegal to me. I see the ball disappearing behind the body of the player right before they strike it. Isn't that a no-no?
"Dr. Le" agrees with me and is complaining to the ref, so I guess I'm right. If a guy was serving like that in a tourney game without a ref, I'd be catching the ball. Edited by chopchopslam - 02/22/2013 at 12:13pm |

The commentators are Adam Bobrow & Matt Winkler. I know both of them; one VERY well.

That's actually not true, the only commentator without technical knowledge is John Burgess. The other itTV commentators are expert players (though not pros) or coaches (Donald Parker from England, I think).

This is a comedy routine right? If this is a real commentary - I want to get a subscription to that network. It's hilarious! |

I'm guessing it is just a parody, but it sure is funny! |
