skytv ran an experiment where they literally fed a senile labrador suffering from distemper a dozen rotten eggs and left it in the commentary box for half an hour during the recent pakistan ODI, to see if anyone could tell the difference between the labrador and mark richardson.

it didn't go to plan when the labrador loving shat everywhere, shed all over the seats and then pissed itself but no one watching TV noticed and scott styris decided he liked the dog better than richardson and asked to make the switch permenant.

but richardson had an ironclad contract so they let the fucker back in.

To continue the commentary theme, TMS have got Pieterson in the team for the world cup.

e:fb. It's only from the quarter finals onwards though, so England will be long gone by then.

I know you are trying for "shittest ever commentary" here, but when actual partnerships of Healy, Brayshaw and Nicholas, and Shastri, Gavaskar, and Dean Jones exist, you are going to have to try a bit harder.

Eh I don't mind most NZ commentators. Styris has an annoying voice but I've never really got the dislike for Doull, he's no Richie Benaud but he's solid enough imo. Smithy is fat and seems a bit smug but he's a decent enough commentator.

As someone who watches a ton of football it has to be said that former cricket players are far better at commentary than they are.

He's on TV, it's much less important to actually call the cricket when the viewer can see what's going on.

It's still important because 1. The viewer sees a single camera while the commentators have access to everything and 2. Not everyone who watches sport is an expert who knows the consequences of every play. Cricket is one of those games that is especially difficult to master a complete understanding of every rule.
