Commentator: 'It doesn't get better than that'

I'm currently on a two-day 'web design masterclass' and rather busy as a result, so today's post comes courtesy of an email that Chris Frumplington sent us a few weeks back. He wrote:

Here's something that amused me recently.

Snooker player, Ali Carter, beat Peter Ebdon on Wednesday. For the first time ever, Carter is through to the semi-finals of the World Championships.

The commentator (Clive Everton, I think, but don't quote me on that) said, "It doesn't get better than that."

But it quite clearly does: it gets much better if a player gets into the final, doesn't it? So, was this a journalistic gaffe or a mere error of logic? Or just another example of sports commentators getting carried away with themselves?

Thanks, Chris. It's been a while since we've had an amusing sports or sports commentator-related post:

Who nose who'll win?
