Personally I find all of the English side to be pretty articulate and
enjoyable - perhaps because I listen to the Japanese broadcast most of
the time and I am used to hearing the oyakata talk - actually the ones
sit with a play by play guy are mostly experienced but the occasional
ones who sit on the front are less experienced talking on TV and
rather hard to take sometimes as they seem to say the same thing over
and over but all in all NHK really does a credible job especially when
they don't have any competition.

I can watch and listen for hours and hours either in English or
Japanese.
