One of the common situation with most of them:

Batsman hits a smashing lofted drive when there is lot of pressure on batsmen. Hits 4 or 6.

Commentator: That was a handsome shot. He should play his natural game. If you defend, you are going to get out without scoring runs. This is exactly the way they should play. You hit boundaries and put pressure of fielders..blah blah blah.

Next ball! Batsman tries another hit, gets clean bowled or gets caught on boundary.

Commentator: What a poor shot selection! When team needs him around, he played very irresponsible shot. He should adopt to situation and curb stroke making instincts. There was no need of lofted drive when singles can work....blah blah blah...

Believe me, I have watched it umpteen number of times.
