Simon O'Donnell on SEN breakfast:

"You just have to wait for the facts to come true."

His upspeak is getting worse. I feel like I'm in Bizarro World when other people say they don't even notice it, let alone let it annoy them. It does my head in. I must have ishoos. Damien Fleming is probably worse

Tbf it has an onomatopoeic ring to it. It sounds as if that’s what it means.

Hah. Bit of a bump for this post but it's got me. Like a condensed version of laid-back-conic. I rate it. Over to you, Webster's.

So many cricket commentators, when describing conditions favourable to swing bowling refer to the “over head conditions”. They actually mean “overcast conditions”.

Not sure when they started this nonsense but it’s very prevalent now.

"...falling crowds in 2022, how are you going to re-birth the club?..." In the '80's we had a neighbor who did that to expensive Torana's, yeah George, not sure even he would touch GWS . Often wondered what happened to Georgie, not a bad bloke actually, I mean, he'd kill you, yet he was still alright sort of thing, strange

Was trying to find footage of Andy Harper's reaction back when it was announced Australia missed out on the WC to Qatar, and stumbled across this from years ago. I personally had never seen it but I'm sure some of u may have...****ing hilarious

Fox cricket commentators all have nicknames for each other. Mark Waugh..."junior", Kerry O'Keefe.."skull"..Brett Lee.."binga"..etc. On Saturday in Hobart Molly Strano was live reporter at the ground and was asked how things were down there. "What do you think Moll".............stunned silence.

I played a bit of cricket with a bloke whose nickname from a few team members was 'Sl*t'. In one match, he was on the scorebook, and a female from the opposition club was scoring the other book. One of the players in our team yelled out "What's the score, sl*t?".
