Pick your top three and bottom three:

Aggers
Blowers
Boycott
Dagnall
Hughes
Mann
Marks
Mitchell
Norcross
Rainford-Brent
Smith
Stewart
Swann
Tuffnell
Vaughan

Boycott and Blowers are easy picks. That sets a high standard of awfulness which no one else can match, but Hughes is a bit of a blowhard.

Marks and Agnew are all time radio greats. Vaughan is a treat to listen to in terms of insight.

Worst: Rainford-Brent by a country mile, obviously got the role on tokenism. Don't mind female retired cricketers turned pundits (Mel Jones is a delight to listen), but ERB speaks like from an instruction manual.

I don't listen too much but rate Vic Marks. Blofeld has become an embarrassment and I cannot listen to Michael Vaughan who is so smug and condescending that he makes me want to raid Aidan's axe cupboard.

I dislike a load of the old professionals. Find Swann and Vaughan tiresome.

Gonna have to disagree with Alviro and say I quite like ERB. Also Alison Mitchell is good.

been a while since I listened to TMS

always liked Aggers
can live with Marks

I take everything MPV says with a pinch of salt until I check who is in his 'stable' ditto Stewart
never liked Swann and Tuffers is a buffoon

the best thing that can be said for TMS is that Botham isn't on it
