It's not just what you say in an online cricket commentary, it's the way you say it. Here's from the cricinfo.com commentary on today's fourth One Day International between England and South Africa:

32.1	It is raining but the game continues Broad to Botha, no run, very full outside off stump, Botha tries to paddle it away but misses

Yep. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Do you want to do the opening chapter then?

Mind you, I can't see the US rights selling for a bundle . . . unless we can find an excuse to put Isa Guha on the cover . . .

Are you going to be at Fantasycon this year?

I would, if I knew the first thing about cricket. Who's Isa Guha, by the way?
I'm still not sure about FantasyCon. We get back from Poland on the Monday before it starts, and money's getting a bit tight. I'd like to because I'd like to see you both again and I'd love to heckle when New Writings wins the award it so richly deserves, but I'm still thinking about whether I can afford it to go.

"Who's Isa Guha, by the way?"

I seem to recall you agreeing with me a few months ago that, on her own, she was a good reason for a chap to be a cricket fan.

"I'm still thinking about whether I can afford it to go"

It'd be great to see you two again as well. I'll keep my fingers crossed you win the lottery.

Oh, Isa Guha. Sorry, the name completely slipped my mind. Yes. Cor.
If I do manage to make it to Nottingham I'll be on my own; because we'll have been in Poland the previous weekend Bogna will have to work the weekend after we get back.
I too will be keeping my fingers crossed for the Lottery, but it hasn't worked so far.
