It's Just Not Cricket
Added DiffLines:
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Birmingham's debut single from '84, ''It's Just Not Cricket'', has not been officially available in its entirety since 2009. Previously it was a bonus track on his debut album, but was replaced with ''Bruce 2000''. The only official release currently available in a 5 minute excerpt from ''The Best of Richie'' (the full length track is over 10 minutes), though there is a vinyl rip of the original single on Youtube

* TotallyRadical: Invoked in-universe in ''Boned'' when the commentary team tries an image makeover to appeal to a younger audience and makes cringe-worthy attempts at hip-hop slang. Richie uses the malapropism "homos" instead of "homies" and refers to Andrew G from Channel V as Andrew V from Channel G (and as Andrew points out, he wasn't even working for Channel V anymore at the time).

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: As well as inventing wacky shenanigans, Birmingham exaggerates actual incidents in Australian sport, such as Tony Greig losing a key down a large crack in the pitch in Perth (Birmingham has him lose a shoe) and Bruce Reid's constant injuries (he snaps in half in ''Still The 12th Man''). ''Bill Lawry...This is Your Life'' credits Lawry with nailing Richie Benaud's shoes to the floor; while that did happen, the prankster was actually Frank Tyson.
