Compare and contrast:

English PL commentators know in depth every player in every squad in every division in Europe.

Australian cricket commentators can't be arsed learned 8 squads and know less than the average chump on the somethingawful dot com forums.

The only reason I can see for re-applying the tape between overs is that he sweats a lot and he's trying to make his finger sticky for grip.

The most infuriating thing about mark Waugh commentating isn't that he's a selector, it's that he says literally nothing interesting or insightful. It's just 100% pointless banter

If he wasn't a cricketer I'm pretty sure he'd be a labourer spending all his cash betting on the greyhounds

I once went to a driving range when I was about 10 and Mark Waugh was there and all I remember was him dishing out a lot of banter, it's probably all he does 24/7

That's a rating of 6 on the nervous racism spectrum. Mark Taylor and Damien Fleming talking about African tribal dances was through the roof.
