Commentary Bloopers

[karan316]

Lets post some commentary bloopers here.

I started this thread because of what Rameez Raja said in a WC game when Misbah hit a six.

"Best part of this slogging is that it is not slogging". WoW

And this one from Rohan Gavaskar during a domestic match I had seen long time back,

"He is a gonzo"(when a batsmen got out)

Please share such gems on this thread. You will come across many in the WC.

R. Gavaskar says that gonzo thing all the ****ing time, he's a terrible commentator.

Ooh nice, an entire thread dedicated to Ramiz Raja's commentary career.

Another one from Rameez Raja

“These two showed how to do it safely! This partnership is an example of how to do it safely.”

 

[OverratedSanity]

" Hafeez is pushing smoothly. His partner Jamshed is satisfied today"

"The way Steyn releases those throbbing balls is a sight"

"I don't know why the bowlers are bowling yorkers here. Yorkers are not a wicket taking option" (In the 19th over of a t20)

"MCullum makes the bowlers fear for their lives" (barely a day after Phil Hughes' death)

All Ramiz

This guy is rapidly becoming one of my favourite Pakistan players.

Tony Grieg's excitement was legendary. "Great shot. No it's not, it's out!"

Healy has definitely been guilty of that before. Exclaiming how wonderful a shot was that he thought was sailing for six, only to be caught on the deep midwicket boundary.

 

[SuperMurali]

can't remember exactly how it went, but something like this

'so that's 61 needed off eleven hours, and it doesn't take a calculator to figure out the run rate required is 5.1818'

Calling Hashim Amla a terrorist is my favourite commentary blooper/

Mine was in the 06-07 Ashes when Ponting ran a quick single to mid-off and the fielder got a direct hit on the throw.
"Oh, that's poor field placing, and good running from Ricky Ponting," Bill Lawry said.
Ponting was run out by a few inches.

This is a good 'un.

not a blooper, but Botham couldn't quite get his leg over

That immediately sprung to mind for me. He literally said "I don't know why Southee isn't bowling more bouncers in these conditions" in the very first session of cricket after the event.

Yeah Ramiz in that test match had a series of amazingly uncomfortable moments. When Danny Morrison is completely dumbstruck you know it's something remarkable.
