in the end

[davado]

that catch was well taken ' in the end '
when is a catch ever taken in the beginning?
possibly the most irritating commentary in vogue at the moment-in the end.
Closely followed by ' long leavers '

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's long levers, not long leavers

 

[_Ed_]

In the end, it doesn't even matter.

In the beginning, there was nothing. Nothing I tell yah.

Wanna see some long levers?

Here,

It's long levers, not long leavers

but its still a still dumb thing to say. Not as dumb as ' in the end ' or even as dumb as the reverse sweep. But dumb. you have to admit

It's become a dumb thing to say because it's overused, I'll grant you that

 

[Aritro]

I love "long levers". It's very evocative. I've never noticed "in the end" at all, but on reflection they tend to say it when a fielder gets caught under a high ball and adjusts their position in time to take it. In the end.

I'm a lot less perturbed about any of this than you are, I'd say.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

It almost makes sense for one of those juggled catches where the fielder fumbles their initial attempt but are able to catch the rebound

 

[mr_mister]

It's appropriate for anything that's not a straight forward catch

 

[Himannv]

I honestly don't mind that sort of commentary and it sure beats profound pieces of insight like this one:

"What Jayasuriya will be trying to do is to hit the ball with the bat and get runs in order to win the match" - Ranjit Fernando.

Good catch in the end? Yeah, whatever.

 

[honestbharani]

To be fair, there are those skied chances where fielders initially misjudge the ball and end up having to dive or something to take it when it could have been more straightforward had they judged it properly in the first place. The "in the end" wont be out of place there either apart from what GAS mentioned.

Captain puts a man out on the hook and then the batsmen gets bowled with a yorker.

Commentator: “Got ‘em with the DOUBLE bluff!!!”

A particularly high scoring over should be known as a "wanton over", to distinguish it from a maiden. #slutshaming

No, just call it a "Broad".

Another that gives me the ****s is “He just about made the catch,” meaning the catch was completed.

I grew up thinking “just about” meant that you were close to achieving your goal but just missed it.

Maybe it’s a UK English thing.

England just about won the 2019 CWC

Yeah I think that’s just a UK thing not a cricket thing. It’s a little annoying that they use an expression to mean the exact opposite of what it means but….the English amirite

 

[thierry henry]

Imagine how hard it must be for Ben Stokes to remember to use ‘just about’ that way while doing the accent at the same time

Sick British people say they're "feeling poorly", just ignore their weird language quirks.
