If I wanted to listen to a bad talkshow for hasbeens that is awkwardly played over the top of the cricket, I'd mute the cricket and put one on the TV. That stuff's not "comedic" it's just plain sad.
I think the best way I've ever heard anyone but Benaud's career was that he was a great commentator, that just happened to be a legendary Australia Captain once upon a time. Listening to him speak, you'd have never known.
Listening to Warne or Slater though, you'd expect that you were listening to the second coming of Bradman or something, which whilst Warne can get away with that kind of thing to an extent, even with him it's seems like a platform for a sad attention grab, and is just an annoying racket over the cricket. I miss the days when TV commentary was actually commentary.
