I see your point. Tessem’s probably better suited to TV co-commentary rather than Radio where you really depend on the clarity and immediacy of every word. It’s primarily Blackmore though who describes the game to the listener…. or viewer. Tessem’s job surely is to add the special comments; analyse what’s happened and give the been there/done that expert ex-players viewpoint. English is not his first language and his voice is not easy on the ear….but, what he does say is often on the money and his analysis usually accurate. He certainly doesn’t have the golden tonsils of a Martin Tyler or a Jonathan Agnew, but he’s formed a good partnership with Blackmore and as an unlikely duo, they deliver a decent commentary without sounding like a couple of one eyed supporters at the Pub.

Agree. Once you get used to Jo’s shouty, passionate style of co-commentary you realise his words are quite astute. He’s a decent analyst and while he obviously wants Saints to win he’s got an objectivity many ex-player commentators do not.
