Noble just reads from his book of clichés whether they fit the situation or not, he's like a broken record 'for our viewers at home, its called a test match because it tests every facet (loves that word) of the game',

Think all commentators and pundits outstay their welcome at some point (apart from true greats like Richie Benaud). You can tell when someone produces a Bingo sheet of their sayings. Stevo was a classic case.
People used to moan like mad about Eddie Waring and Ray French being out of touch and a bit "northern music hall" but the players who those blokes commentated on held them in great respect. We have moved on a long way from the days of the "up and under" and "the 6ft 4, sixteen stone, former Blackbrook AMATEUR player".
It's a difficult job as you need to inform, educate and entertain. Catering for a terrestrial free to air TV audience with massively varying levels of understanding is a challenge too. Too much jargon and technical talk will turn off the average sports fan and too many cliches will annoy Seth and anyone else that wants a bit of insight. It's a balancing act.
