Several problems

Post by Vershner » Tue Jun 06, 2017 11:21 am

Barton to Karunaratne : Slower ball from Barton. Low bounce fools Karunaratne and the ball squeeze under the bat and hits him on the foot and it's LBW. Hawkeye on the reply shows that the ball would have bounce twice before hitting the wicket.
Given some of the commentary lines I've had rejected, it's pretty galling to see something this bad make it through.

Should be:
"Barton to Karunaratne : Slower ball from Barton. Low bounce fools Karunaratne. The ball squeezes under the bat, hits him on the foot, and it's LBW. Hawkeye, on the replay, shows that the ball would have bounced twice before hitting the wicket!

If you are going to criticize in that way you would have thought you would be spot on in your suggestion but alas you have a comma followed by and. In fact it is fine if you replace the second and with a comma
Obviously reply/replay was a bad error clearly made late at night

A comma followed by an "and" is fine if it's the last item in a list.

"squeeze" and "bounce" are still wrong.

Honestly don't know why people bother to bag on about the Commentary so much, like who cares if the comma isn't in the right place? :thumbsdown
