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.

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.

[@lorenzocrepaldi1630]

I really appreciate Jack Nicholls commentary, but he clearly miss something (maybe experience) about Marble Race. It would be great if Greg Woods could be with him maybe talking about more technical details about marbles

[@monkeylemur]

Yeah, the commentary was definitely spot on in terms of play-by-play. But Greg Woods always added a lot of storytelling aspect to each of the marbles, and it really enhanced the experience

[@daxshell242]

He will figure it out! He just needs to buy into personifying the marbles.

Im sure as the season goes on, he will improve!

[@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]
