On social media, there is an entire subgenre of jokes about the cliche-heavy commentary that a certain well-known cricket commentator delivers. There are lists of some 10-15 phrases, which are said to make up almost everything that he says. There is even a downloadable sheet of the game Bingo, with each of his favourite phrases in a square. Presumably, his fans print these out and as he says something like 'that went like a tracer bullet' or 'all three results are possible', they cross out the square of that phrase. However, cricket and cricket commentators are far from being the only guilty parties when it comes to creating commentary out of a stream of cliched phrases. When a cricket commentator says something like 'the batting side will be looking to make runs, and the opposition will be looking to take wickets', then the statement is at least factually correct.
