The footy season is nearly over. Hooray! This means no more commentary of this quality:
"That's a very handy lead in the context of the game."
Now it's just several months of listening to Richie Benaud slipping ever deeper into senility and Ian Chappell reminding everyone that he was the best cricket captain ever - mostly doing this by putting down every captain since.
However, it will be worth it when a commentator from the West Indies comes on air. I don't know why people go nuts over an Irish accent. For me, the Caribbean vocals reign supreme.

I love the kind of comments you hear from cricket commentators.
"I think that they'll try to get as many runs as they can during the innings and then try to bowl the opposition out."
Well ... yes. That would be cricket.
True. Cricket commentators also enjoy the philosophy of possibilites: "If there'd been a man out there to catch the ball, he'd be out."
I have become quite a fan of your blog and have been reading for a few weeks now. However, please try and refrain from suggesting that the Irish accent is not the bee's knees of accents or you may lose me from your fan club.
Good Lord, Hazel! You're on fire today (well at least your fans are.)(Where is Super Freo? I thought for sure he would have commetted by now.) And yes, SF, I am aware that the placement of my parentheses is all wrong. I get very nervous about posting these days because I know how scathing he can be.
PS I just thought, I do hope I am not one of those intellectual friends that Ted is worried about.
No, scrap that. I am not an
intellectual friend at all.
You mean, Edward?
Spud Mack - Begorrah, a tousand apologies, to be shure.
Ciad mille failte!
Funkysmell - Nothing can make baseball look good. No need to deride cricket in such a dastardly fashion.
Ted - What on earth are you talking about?
Thanks for noticing, K, my dear.
While I find comments flattering, I'm in a bit of a pickle about all this horrid spam. I've been a deleting demon today.
As TISM once said re Ted.
Ted E Boy, Ted E Bear, Ted E Roosevelt. Grable Fable Definitable.
As Tarrantino once said re Ted.
Ted's dead, man. Ted's Dead.
