Worst ever commentary moment?

cover drive man · 14-06-2009, 09:34 AM

I remember listening to the ashes on the radio in the car and a women said "Warne isnt bowlign very fast, why's that?" Terrible for a cricket commentator.

Loved Ian Botham's "Four. Don't even bother running for that." when Alastair Cook scored three against the West Indies.

Richie Benaud "Good shot" as Viv Richards tossed away the 1983 World Cup Final by being caught off a skied slog. He then augmented the moment by saying "Not so good" as the catch was taken.

Sri Lankan commentator has his foot right up in his throat.

Somewhere in the middle, Beefy makes mockery of Eng's field placements, and next ball he is proven wrong.

Nasser's line on that ball is one of the best commentary moments itbt.

It's at about 0:52 btw.

Tony Greig's "mail order bride" comment when they showed a wedding in a nearby park during a ODD game a few years ago must be in the Grand Final.

Yeah, was thinking of that. Re CDMs original post, maybe the commentator meant Warne was really pushing it through, ie getting up into the 90kph range?
