Oh, we used to DREAM of living in a corridor of uncertainty.
Sorry, that must have been the Batsmen of the Kalahari. I have watched too much Python recently..

King Pietersen
International Captain
It's actually "Start the car", he has used "Launch the Pedalo" in the past as well, used it a few times in the world cup to good effect.
"He played down piccadilly and it were on the bakerloo line" Another of Boycs' over-used phrases.
PhoenixFire
International Coach
"He's coming wide of the crease (the bowler). That is good intelligent bowling."
No you moron, it is the obvious thing to create variation.

Evermind
International Debutant
Yeah, hehe, the commentators just love dropping that name, don't they! Makes them sound real knowledgable. Anytime there's a match in Perth, it's mentioned within 5 sentences.
Daryl Harper
School Boy/Girl Captain
Yep, twice. Both commentators felt the need to say versions of it.
Such and such went "Inside out" is another one that irks me.

He's got a First Class 86 to his name!!!

I think it was used to describe Lionel Baker (FC best 26, List A best 8 before today), rather than Miller.
BoyBrumby
Englishman
Yeah, got me tailenders mixed up.
Daryl Harper
School Boy/Girl Captain
"Tennis ball bounce" 
Pup Clarke
Cricketer Of The Year
Which is correct, tis a cliche but has a point.
Daryl Harper
School Boy/Girl Captain
Lots of them are correct and have points.

State Vice-Captain
I can't remember it word for word, but another Chappelli cliche:
"I can't understand why "insert more often than not non-Australian captain name" is using the light roller. I can walk over the pitch and it does the same job."
