i sometimes watch on mute with some music on in the background...extremely relaxing and enjoyable! try it

[Thesmiff]

Constantly blaming the lack of full DRS on 'the host broadcaster'. It's the ICC's fault and no one else's.

[eukaryote76]

Banging on a about 'natural variation', when they actually mean he doesn't swing it consistently, or pot luck on whether it seams or not.

Commentators never ever mentioning conventional swing, now that 'reverse' is the buzz word.

Ian Bell's "sneer" between shots (his left upper lip goes up and he squints), a cross between Dirty Harry, and trying to remember if he locked the backdoor

Ginger Harry in Bell's case

Just thought of another one... commentators (especially Mark Nicholas) gushing over an innings as "brave" and "courageous"...unless its a number 11 smashing mitch johnson, I don't want to hear it.

 Australian arrogance

[csnew]

Commentators Using the words "expressing themselves"
Overuse of "great player"

[potzy248]

Aussie commentators saying that NZ were beyond poor in all facets for Australia's first innings and then for us, saying the pitch is a road and Steve Smith was forced into going defensive. Grrrrrrrr

Marais Erasmus.

Aleem Dar.

Measuring the light every five minutes in the last hour of the day. The sun is still up, get on with it.

Slow mo replays of possible bump balls, although the soft signal thing seems an improvement.

(same thing annoys me in rugby league/union when they check late hits in slow mo makes everything look worse than it is)

And every inswinger is now reverse swing!

Don't worry Potzy, it annoys us (maybe just me...) just as much! Absolutely no respect for what your boys have done in this match!

If reverse is now the orthodox way of swinging the ball, then surely conventional is actually the  'reverse'? (That make sense?)
