*Official* Indian Premier League 2011

Sidhu epitomizes the phrase "verbal diarrhoea" more than any other commentator.

Sidhu?, Simon Doull?...

Sidhu epitomizes the phrase "verbal diarrhoea" more than any other commentator.

Somehow the word "Petty Bourgeois" springs to my mind when Sidhu is mentioned, dunno why.

Sehwag supposedly made a 1000 IPL runs... I wonder what these records would be worth in the long run?

Never noticed his "massa" attitude. How did you reach to that conclusion? And his role is not just of an interviewer but also a cricket expert. It's obvious that he will give his views on the subject...
And of course everybody loves the irish.
Maybe am just a Harsha fanboy. He is the ultimate Indian male's fantasy> Never played cricket at a very high level, studied at a top institution, got a respectable job but managed to dump it all for a life watching cricket matches.

I first noticed his "masaa" thing this during the podcast coverage on cricinfo during the world cup, very subtle but there none the less. As for cricket expert ... umm whats the nature of his expertise? I dont remember him ever making any insightful comment whatsoever. He is glib, doesnt cliche like Shastri, or a jackass like Sidhu or an snivelling irrating git like Sivaramkrishnan. That's all that can be said for him.

Can someone please help me out, what is Massa attitude?...

No insight has ever been forthcoming from him but then that is true for almost everybody else in the commentary box. The ability to provide an original point of view doesn't seem to be a perquisite for getting the job.

Yuvvi!

 

[GGG]

This Aussie commentator makes Morrision sound like a Rhodes Scholar.

Missed out on his third hattrick! WAG

Waterboy What a Boy!

Go Yuveh!

Pune would be even awesomer if they had NMac coming in at 6-7. Heck, even if he didn't bat or bowl he would still be worth it as a specialist fielder.

Speaking of Sidhu, he came up with this gem yesterday : "why kiss the maid when you can kiss the mistress" ! (and this was in response to a question about Cameron White being dropped, if I'm not mistaken).

 

[MyLord]

Wow, stepped away for a few minutes and the DD are well on the way to KKR'dom.

Carrying all that water sure did help develop Waterboys muscles, attitude and hunger.

Surely he will replace Smith next game. He is fielding.

Manjrekar, tries to follow the plot or *tries* to comment on the less obvious onfield shenanigans. Best of the sorry lot.

Oooohh Finch, tweet tweet tweet!

 

[Blaze 18]

Finch!

I really think Shastri is having the laugh on us... he is probably lolling in a hammock in the commentary box and depending upon the play selects a precorded cliche from his set of 36.

Looks like Yuvi really likes that car ... another wicket.
