Biggest commentary bugbears?

[windyhill]

“Get the ball in Brad hills hands”

 

[Deathray]

Luke Darcy and his ‘ohh look at this’ and ‘ohh look at him go’ crap. We’re watching it on tv, your job is to call the game.

 

[Billy ray]

Not being at the ground the game is played at.

 

[Stottzy]

Noticing this heaps tonight for Dons vs Tigs, but the long view/from the stands replays they are showing. Show the normal coverage footage or zoomed in!!

 

[rank and file]

Mute the TV like I do.

If everyone did that they'd miss out on the commentary bugbears and this thread would die.
So selfish.

Seven usually do it whenever they broadcast a game which either:
A) Has a capacity or near-capacity crowd, or
B) Is being played at Optus at night, when the stadium's lighting is on full display.

Saturday night was both of these.

When ch 7 are not at the game , they turn up the volume for one side ( usually the sude they’re going for ) and keeping the volume down for the other.

Sometimes the bias is astonishing.

Structure up

Has anyone mentioned "Fisted" yet?

The current obsession with intercept marks. Yes, they're important, but the 'special comments' have become so repetitive and lazy.

They'll divert the conversation back to intercept marks many times each quarter, at the expense of analysing other important tactics, who's tagging who, etc, because it's easy and sounds fancy.

Blokey joking. Brayshaw is the worst - "yeah, we're going to make Richo wait a bit longer out in the cold down there on the boundary till we cross to him for his report, just because we can. Hnah hnah hnah."

I don't know why but Eddie's insistence of calling "CJ" instead of "Jiath" is just weird.

Maybe be cant pronounce Jiath

 

[1989]

I can live with 'CJ', but some commentators say 'CJ Jiath'.

apparently he wants/prefers to be called CJ (according to 3AW)

green grass

 

[1989]

Not asking proper questions in post-match on ground player interviews.

Total waste of time.

"It's not clear what [insert club here] stand for. What's their brand?"

 

[James1970]

An obvious one, but the commercial saturation of calling the game on radio is beyond a joke. SEN is the worst at it, but it's so bad now across the dial the enjoyment of listening to the game is gone.

AW now drop brands into the passage of play...unless there really is a forward called Ebay that has passed me by.

I really like the quality of SEN's cricket coverage, but I noticed this shit all the time last summer.

"Starc bowls to Pujara who lets it pass....that ball brought to you by Rheem Hot Water, Install a Rheem!!"

The Hutchification of the media.

SEN has essentially become one long ad interrupted by the odd passage of play.

 

[gimp!]

Brad Johnson saying "IN TERMS OF" EVERY ****ING SENTENCE. I hate that campaigner.

 

[Trucker Tiger]

"Four minutes and change" - Rompingwins started it but now others are using it.

And he got it from US sports as i recall Hubie Brown saying in when Jordan was playing
