In a way it's like baseball commentary because of the pauses. 5-day Test commentary is the best for tangents because there are long periods of attritional play. You can easily listen to it in the background. Watching Test cricket live is also continuous partial attention plus beer.

(Another aspect is that there's no single play-by-play / color team: there's a biggish group and everyone takes half-hour shifts so you get slightly different interpersonal dynamics throughout and the smalltalk never gets repetitive.)
