On a side note about this match, whilst Jimmy Butler and his co-commentator ,who he very frequently referred to as 'Barbara', both provided some welcome insider knowledge into the game along with astute tactical observations, two things very much bothered me:
1- About half way through the first game Barbara pointed out that Truls was playing with an unusually shaped bat. At this point Jimmy commended her on noticing this and himself said this is the first he'd seen of this and that they would have to look into it. My issue with this is that it shows that neither commentator had watched any of Truls' previous matches in this competition nor have they had any research done about him beyond what is presented on screen (age, nationality, WR). This is fine if your casually watching a game but when being paid to commentate on a World Championship match then you ought to have some knowledge about what you're talking about that goes beyond your own playing days.
2- Both commentators seemed biased towards Truls to the point that it made me feel uncomfortable.
I welcome Jimmy and Barbara and would love to hear more from them. Just please with a bit of research and less bias.
