This

is priceless. And I don't even like cricket.

That rocks. I still don't understand how to you score cricket though.

Wonderful.

We need more people like this in the world. Can you imagine Paxman having one of those days on newsnight? It would be great!

I found myself reading his accounts of the world cup, and I hate football - but he's very funny. Not usually *quite* this off the wall, but always silly.

This was superb.

Reminds me of when one of the news reporters on the BBC sighed, looked deep into the camera and announced 'I'm getting old...'

At least he didn't (as far as we're aware) don a turquoise shellsuit, decide he's the Messiah and prophecy the end of the world (twelve-foot shape-changing space-lizards an' all). Sports commentary can do that to you...

Hehehehe! Now that Hunter S. Thompson is writing almost exclusively about (American) football it's nice to see the sprit of Gonzo arising in the cricket field, as it were!

Well, Scott Murray is still covering the cricket, and it's still pretty good:

"Meanwhile, for some unfathomable reason, I'm told this morning's over-by-over cricket report is to have a work-related theme. So send your employment gripes in detail to scott.murray@guardian.co.uk and let's see if we can't get at least one of you sacked by the 25th over."
