What about the cricket commentator during a West Indies v England test match, who said: "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey", as Michael Holding ran in to bowl to Bob Willey.

Uproar in the commentary box followed.

Or is that another urban myth?

[Pierre ZFP]

Nope, it was a real one apparently.

Yes, it was the wonderful Brian Johnstone and Jonathan Agnew.

They are also famous for their commentary when a batsman was out when stepping back and hitting his own wicket. The batsman concerned tried to avoid being out by trying to step over his wicket, but didn't manage it. The commentary went something along the lines of ' he turned but didn't manage to get his leg over' Both commentators collapsed for about 5 minutes of laughter after.
