Superfluous 'the'?

Post by spark » Tue Jul 17, 2018 11:39 am

1.6 4 Rivas to Hills : [Bouncer] That was lucky! A lightning fast bouncer is edged, missed by the Baksh and runs for four.

Whilst it's possible that the commentator has started calling my keeper, Carlton Baksh, 'the Baksh', I suspect it should either be 'the keeper' or just 'Baksh'.

Also is the reporting commentary bugs topic supposed to be a guide/rules for reporting commentary or just a heading?

Anyway, I'm off to see what the Baksh is up to. Probably dropping catches. :)

Different line; same problem:

Sarra to Barclay : There's an appeal for a stumping! Beaten in flight and just enough turn to beat the outside edge. Sharp work from Kekwick behind the stumps but looks like the Barclay's foot is back behind the crease. Sarra was unlucky not to get his man with an excellent piece of bowling.
