CRICKET? OR COBBLERS...?

This from the BBC website covering the Ashes match:

'Short from Siddle and Strauss is onto it in a flash, swinging the bustling Tasmanian away for four. One more for Strauss, who moves to 23 with a nibble off his pads. You could have poured that shot into a little black dress and it wouldn't have looked out of place on the catwalks of Milan. What a doozy of a day up in Cardiff, it really is pretty as a picture.'

This is unintelligible nonsense. What on earth is this person on about and are they really commentating on the cricket or simply indulging in a frenzy of euphemism for their own selfish pleasure.

It's gonna be a long, hot summer...

UPDATE: someone else has had a moan and it has been posted on the BBC site so it seems our cricket blogger is annoying everyone.
