Not being at the ground the game is played at.
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."

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

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