Top ten clichés that irritate your eardrum. I don’t care if they are true, players should be instantly banned for life if they allow these utterances to escape;

1. “Its just not cricket”……thankfully restricted these days to Henry Olonga quotes.
2. “Catches win matches”……try telling that to Kevin Pietersen
3. “The lads expressed themselves well out there”…..when did this sneak in?
4. “One brings two”…..except in the beer tent
5. “Form is temporary class is permanent”…..and shit is forever
6. “Cricket was the winner today Richie”……no, Australia were
7. “Nobody’s bigger than the game” …..Robert Mugabe is
8. “Cricket’s a religion in the subcontinent”…..no it’s not, it’s a game just like it is everywhere else!
9. “We’ll take it one game at a time”……ever tried playing 2 games at a time, bloody confusing.
10. “Yes we lost, but there were a lot of positives we took away from the game”…..this is always, always a barefaced lie!
