Commentary Highlights: Cricket 24

“Perfectly timed” - a total mishit

“Lovely shot through the covers, that’s 4” - glanced away and stopped by a fielder

“Big appeal, but it wasn’t doing enough” - nicked to first slip

“THIS COULD SPELL TROUBLE” - a DRS review of the ball missing the stumps by 2 metres

“Sometimes the batter is just too good” - a fielder throws it to no one for 4 overthrows

“The media have been circling about their place in the team” - I’ve averaged 100 for the series

Also every single pitch is a bowl first pitch according to commentary. Doesn’t matter if it’s dry or grassy or sunny or raining, they will be absolutely shocked if you choose to bat. “Even the openers will be surprised” Well I’m the captain and the opener, so..

There’s a hundred more examples that I’ve missed. It’s at the point where I’m genuinely shocked when the commentary actually matches the play.

Impressively bad programming by the developers.
