Cricket cliches

Lawrence Booth, the Guardian's excellent cricket writer, is collecting cricket cliches and meaningless jargon. "Scorching cover drive", "steepling bounce" "adjudged lbw" - that kind of thing. I am sure New Zealand cricket commentary is as riddled with them as the rest of the world, but I suspect we also have our own unique gems. Our commentators might not have the same level of repitition as, say, Tony "and he's just smashed that away to the boundary" Greig - but I am sure you can come up with a few pithy phrases which manage to capture the essence of Bryan Waddle and company. Post them here and I will e-mail them to Lawrence.

Here's a few to get things going:

Martin Crowe - "In my opinion, [insert the name of any player who has not scored 100 or taken a 5 wicket bag in the last 5 minutes] should not be in the team."

Peter Sharp - "Canterbury are 13/8 in reply to Northern's 400/1 declared, but Canterbury have looked the better team"

Ron "Wrong" Snowdon - "He's caught! No - it's six! No - clean bowled 'em!"
