How do Shastri and Manjrekar manage to make so many mistakes during commentary?

[tweaker]

Listening to heavily accented hindi commentary of Laxman

[CoverDrive]

Idiot manjrekar now says that Rahane at first slip would be in a better situation to see the line of the ball for DRS

[Trichromatic]

So they were discussing about number of balls Pujara has faced and most number of balls faced by batsmen in history of game.

When discussion turned to Gavaskar, Shastri guessed that Sunny might have played many innings close to 700 balls and Sunny immediately corrected him and told that his max would be around 450.

 

Considering that Gavaskar didn't score any triple why would anyone with little bit idea of game would guess that such batsman would have faced close to 700 balls many times?

Towards the end of Indian inning, Shastri said that Kohli needs to declare to take advantage of crowd presence. 20,000 people on the ground, they can cheer and back the team. 

 

Never heard such random logic before.

Shastri seems perpetually drunk so that makes him somewhat entertaining.

Actually I thought it made a lot of sense tbf.

 

 

Sunday sizeable crowd , good atmosphere so if we get momentum could be really intimidate Aussies and get on a roll.But unfortunately we didn't have enough of a lead for that.

What is wrong in that? Game is more mental and with almost 20k crowd, batting in last 8 overs of the day is always tough, especially after fielding for 2 full days.
