Every player as being described as "being quick between the wickets"

Agree with the Shastri comments. I think he's the most annoying commentator going, i think even Nick "get off the fence" Knight has a laugh at himself occasionally

I think the biggest one for me : sponsors taking over / renaming sixes to "xyz sponsor maximum"

Very much agree Nick Knight is terrible spends the whole time asking himself questions (Is he going to be good enough at this level. . . I'm just not sure Nasser) Cheers Nick riveting stuff

Commentators being biased towards their country even if they loose badly...

20. People losing their sh*t over slow scoring ("come on, take some initiative please")...and then exploding when batsman gets out trying to do just that ("why did he have to play that shot??")

People who don't watch much cricket pretending they know more than they do.

Slow over rates, get on with it!

And this. Definitely!

The price and poor quality of food and drink at venues.

The price of Test tickets. And the amount taken by corporate hospitality.

Only in silly cricket. What did you expect?

No balls scarcely being looked it at/ called unless there's a wicket.
Calling it a perfect cover drive based purely on whether it beat the fielder and made the boundary irrespective of the lack of footwork, and then the very identical shot that gets caught behind being pilloried for poor footwork!

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

That's a good one. 'Great shot' when it goes for 4 regardless of the actual quality.. Yet the perfect shot might go St a fielder or he may make a awesome shot and it's not even commented on. Sigh, the price of idiot players/commentators.

Getting hit in the noggin and then sending out the Team physio. What is the Team doctor for?

Commentators who become better players than they were in the com box
