There are the two classic Cricketing howlers, both done by the late Brian Johnstone.
1) In the late seventies, New Zealander Glenn Turner was playing in a one-day match for his county (Worcestershire?) Whilst batting, his testicles received a direct hit from the 5th ball of the over. Despite wearing a protective box, Turner was 'caught' rather painfully and rolled around on the ground until the tears in his eyes dried up. When he was well enough to resume batting, he took his stance, whereupon Brian Johnstone utter the immortal phrase "One ball left!"
2) In 1980, the West Indies toured England. In one of the test matches, Peter Willey (now an umpire) was picked to play at least one match. One of the West Indians was fearsome fast bowler Michael Holding. With England batting, Peter Willey was at the crease, facing Michael Holding. When Holding started his run-up, Brian Johnstone came out with the line "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey!"
