Then there was the pundit chatting about relays with champion
runner Phil Redmond.
"Well, Phil, tell us about your amazing third leg."
- and.....
Richie Benaud commenting during a British Masters golf tournament - "Notices are appearing at courses telling golfers not to lick their balls on the green." ?
The media moral is plain to see
For those who talk to you and me -
To prevent your meaning heading south
Engage brain before operating mouth!

Good golly! I'm discovering
A thing, not one but two
That cricket's full of raunchiness
Ring-a-ding-a-doo
Told to me by WOLer

An expert on all raunchiness

I also seem to remember David Coleman, the doyen of Colemanballs, saying of the Cuban runner, Alberto Juantereno, “ he only has to open his legs to show his class”.

Please note that I intentionally omitted the legendary line attributed
to dear departed "Johnners" while commentating on a test match
and mentioning the names of the West Indian batsman and the
English bowler together in a riotous coupling. For younger
readers it is probably the most famous sentence in the history of cricket commentary..
