Did no one read the description? Jack is just here for the Formula E project. Greg hasn't been fired. I think Jack did a great job for someone who has never done commentary for marble racing!

[@belolano]

Agree. Soon both of them will be commenting on a LIVE race

[@PatrickGunderson]

I like Jack's commentary, but I miss the marble teams

[@matthewulanski217]

Am hoping for a blind draw to guide the Qualifiers as necessary in the remainder of this series. Marble League is going to be a quacker.

[@lassievision]

Jack needs to chat with Greg. The really important rule is to not really use the word Marble, but focus on the personification.

[@salvor5764]

Props to Jelle for letting these smaller teams get some spotlight. One day, maybe ‘Mercedes’ and ‘Audi’ will be household names just like the Savage Speeders and O’rangers...

[@ArchahcrA]

The opportunity is there, but they have to try harder in my opinion if they want to get going, it’s always tough at the start when there are no stories behind these brands, they can take a leaf off of the Hazer’s book given their pretty quick rise to prominence. Also they have such silly names! Jaguar? Dragon? Pfft. Let’s say that I’m cautiously optimistic.

[@JohnDoe-kv3cm]

A warm welcome to Mr. Nicholls to the world of Marble racing. I have to admit at first I was a bit sceptical whether it would be the same without Greg Woods. And honestly? It wasnt. Nicholls clearly is a different style of commentator and between that and his seeming reluctance at first I wasnt certain whether he would be quite able to capture the spirit of marble racing the way Woods can. But as the qualifier went on and into the race it was great to see Nicholls getting more and more comfortable and into at as time went on. Professional or not, it cant be easy switching to a niche event like Marble racing commentary and he did a great job of it in my opinion. I am looking forward to hearing more from him in the future.

[@HIM7070]

I was thinking the exact same thing he is obviously a skilled commentator for Formula-1 but putting someone, even a professional in a new unfamiliar situation can be jarring. I Think Mr. Nicholls did a fantastic job and can only see him getting better as the Series moves on.

[@rufocs686]

Actually that's exactly what I thought. As he got comfortable with this kind of event I could se he and Marbula's official commentator would have an interesting back to back interaction since Mr. Nicholls has the passion and Mr. Woods has the analysis. It would be really awesome to see them together.

[@amolveira]

Striking the right tone of treating this seriously as a competition while embracing the absurdity of humanizing marbles can't be easy. This was a very fine first effort, and the marble history color commentary was great. Excited for the rest of the season

[@tinfoilmkiv8394]

I totally agree. He's done a pretty good job for a first go at this, and he did improve just during this first race. Greg is still by far my preference, but he has all of the experience, and I look forwards to seeing how Mr Nicholls does.

[@TempestKitty]

[@alienworm1999]

It's kinda interesting listening to Nicholls' commentary; he's way less experienced in calling marble racing than Greg Woods (and they have a very noticeable difference in fluidity) but it adds a certain sense of legitimacy to the whole affair. I'm excited to see where this goes in the future, as well as any other collaborations that you guys have planned.

[@kevin_archeron124]

I have a feeling nicholls will figure it out as he goes along. just a different style but once he commentates a few marble races I am sure he will be on par with his official races too. still love Greg Woods though!

[@eg5165]

No, ibai is the correct person to commentary

[@daxshell242]

He will figure it out! He just needs to buy into personifying the marbles. I know it probably sounds and feels ridiculous to him, but part of Greg Woods commentary was maintaining story lines and using references from outside of the race to help the marbles seem more real. Im sure as the season goes on, he will improve!

[@vegigun]

I'm still a Greg Wood fan, but I'll admit that might be entirely down to it being his voice I'm used to hearing with marble races.

[@williamrizzo4296]

Logan it would be amazing to hear both Nichols and Greg commentating together!!

[@A_Bird]

Of course Greg will always be the voice of marble racing in my heart, but what major sport has only one commentator? It's a natural part of marble racing's growth. I thought Jack Nicholls did a pretty good job for his first go marble commentary, particularly for staying completely earnest and not doing it with a wink or smirk. I think the other thing Greg does really well that would help if Jack did more is to humanize the marbles, give them agency. It's too bad we can't get them together in the same booth right now, this is definitely a "Why not both?" situation!

[@MrUlf1337]

I totally agree. You can feel that Greg has more experience in commentating on the marbles than Jack, but he did a good job. A little chanting could also help in the background. Somehow Greg just gets me more excited about it.

[@cuhm]

Greg and jack would be a great duo tbh

[@Fringe31422au]

As this goes on, Jack will have more to go on

[@CuddyTG]

Yeah he just doesn't have the passion yet. It'd be great to have both commentators Edit: wrote that before I realized it was the whole race not just qualifying. Sounded really good during the race. Still would be great with both

[@marktuohy1088]

Greg Woods commentary is legendary, he just can't be replaced. But I have to admit, this new commentator really added something to the start of this series. I think it would be great if the new commentator and Greg could team up to commentate together in future Marbula E races. And to be honest, I think we need longer races. They're way too short. Marble racing is just getting better and better with every race! I'll admit it, I'm addicted lol

Of course it's different guys, instead of a guy who's been doing marble commentary for years with a style we're all used to and love, we have a brand new dude who is doing his first commentary ever on a marble race, it's completely alien to him obviously, just give it some time, you and him both will get used to it. It's an amazing opportunity for Jelle and Marble Racing to reach new crowds and achieve new goals and i'm all for it!

[@TomButler]

This new commentator is crap

[@jimkayser1880]

Jack Nicholls is great. He’s the Formula E play by play guy, he does F1 podcast commentary for the BBC, he’s an internationally known big time racing voice. His mere presence lends a certain legitimacy to the proceedings. Sure it’s different than what we’re used to, but this is a bold step for Jelle’s Marble Racing and it’s a well-executed one at that. We’ll have our regular commentator back for the Marble League and next go-round for the Sand Marble Rally and Marbula 1. It’s all good.

[@silentnode946]

It feels natural for me to hear my racing comentated with this accent.

[@TomButler]

@@jimkayser1880 I hear you mate. But having a professional takes away from what I think the entire draw of Marble racing was in the first place. It was home made. The former announcer brought the marble racing to life. He knew the players and knew how to keep running commentary going and keep it all exciting. But I'm glad he's not doing all the commentary going forward. I guess Greg's announcing was the entire reason I watched in the first place. He made you forget you were watching marbles. But yeah, mate, I understand this guy may have credentials and be associated with F1, which is understandably exciting for Jelle's Marble Racing. However, I will admit I did not finish watching either of the races. I look forward to Greg's commentary in the future!

Also for Jack: You did a fantastic job commentating your first Marbles race and I cannot wait for more of your races.
