Nous, that comes not from watching, studying, reading, following a game; but from having played it at the highest level.
Dry wit, that, which like a dry martini tingles and tangles but does not gush or slush.
A rounded voice, that allows the ears to be eased into the visual spectacle assaulting the senses.
Gary Neville has some.
John McEnroe has some.
Geoff 'my grandmum' Boycott has some.
Shane Warne… ?
Watching Wimbledon and the Ashes is as much about McEnroe and Boycott, as is watching Champions League football with G-Nev.
