She’s knowledgeable and knows the game, and she comes off much better as an interviewer or a panel member. She just doesn’t have the skill set for colour commentary. Very few people do.
Singh gets better every time I hear him. I have no issues with the way he calls the game.

I have a different reaction to Cassie. I don’t care about the bias thing, not something I notice.
And I like her voice and delivery. But it is what she says. Often just a rehash of what just happened vs any attempt at insight or explanation as to the why. And ever since someone pointed out the “if you will”, I can’t stop hearing it.
