Caught & Bowled :

(bat) hands a simple return catch to (pace-bowl). He was completely foxed by that wonderful slower delivery.

 

[Karachi Xpress]

Four
Hes edged that through the slip and it will run away for a four.
Dropped catch
(bat) takes a smash at that but doesn't quite connect and its high in the air, should be caught, and yes hes gone. NO! Hes dropped it!!

Dot Ball

Just get back to reading your paper. Another dot there!
Nothing exciting another genuine dot ball.
Good ball, good shot, good peice of fielding. Top cricket all round from both teams there.
Yawwn! That's a dot and a waste of a delivery!
Full and wide no need to play at that. To be honest not much point in the batsmen being out here for that delivery.
(bat) tried to do something different there! (bat) tried to hit the ball! but he failed miserably!

holdenator added 4 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

Wickets (Stumped):
He's gone for a walk and been stumped!
Strolls out his crease. Play and a miss and he's out by a mile.
Two steps forward and one step back. If (bat) had taken one more back he wouldn't have been out but he's paid the price and is out stumped.
Flighted up, (bat) has moved like a cheetah down the pitch and forgot to play. He's out stumped.
(bwl) saw him coming and fired in quicker and wider and (bat) is out stumped.

Dot

That's a dot ball and the pressure is starting to get to them in this tight run chase.
(bat) goes for an agricultural heave and he's missed it completely

(milestone-50-fast)
This has been a blistering knock from (bat). A quick (batruns) from (batballs)!
It has taken (bat) only (batballs) to get to his fifty! Let's see if he can keep going.
(batfours) fours and (batsixes) sixes in that half-century from (bat).
Everyone on their feet for that knock. It's been a great 50 from (bat).

(milestone-50-normal)
Nice little knock from (bat). He needs to stay in and make the bowlers keep paying, though.
A pleasant half-century by (bat). He's scored (batruns) off (batballs).

(milestone-50-slow)
(bat) limps across the finishing line for that half-century.
The crowd does not appreciate that knock from (bat) too much. In fact, it's a surprise they're still awake.

That is what I was going to ask. If we could have changes in the milestones for 50 and 100. For example in BT it is always the same so a bit of variety depending on the speed of the milestone would be great.

What about bowler ones like:

(bwl) has picked up 5! Raise the ball to the crowd son! (as most bowlers do these days)
