Re. Scotty Stevenson. The trouble with cricket is his simple mistakes. The most simple task of determining which player is on strike he constantly gets wrong. Even if one is left and the other right handed. He also preempts things too early by screaming in his boisterous voice, the outcome which is often wrong (I.e. that’s out as the ball sails over the boundary)
Both are so infuriating and you gain the impression he tunes out and is watching someone in the crowd and then tunes in half way after the ball is hit. Maybe this is because cricket goes for so long and he struggles with concentration.
In football however he seems to be able to focus on the play as it is constantly moving,
.
He also doesn’t need to fill gaps in play with cheesy one liners like he does in cricket and rugby.
So I actually really enjoyed his work last night and was surprised. That however is also because the local commentators are crap and the bar is so low.
