Favourite commentary lines

[Uppercut]

Indeed. But it isn't always so unambiguous when sweeping statements are made followed by an insult aimed at anyone who disagrees.

 

[Arjun]

A Pakistani fielder drops a catch near the boundary in that 1999-200 series in Australia.

Richie Benaud says- "I've been sitting here thinking of an excuse for why that happened...it's one of the hardest things I've ever done".

 

[harsh.ag]

Jeez you Pommie-Aussie ****s. Not even a single mention of "They're dancing in the aisles in Sharjah" from the late great man.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jeff Dujon (sarcastically ): And there it is folks, the cat just caught the rat, and is now sinking it's fangs through the poor rat's throat; sucking its blood .

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I'd forgotten this thread. At the time I hadn't touched LSD for nearly 30 years, but whilst following this thread I needed it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Can't remember when or who it was, but as a kid watching a random Asian ODI on TV the commentator opens up with "Not a Sky in the Cloud" with incredible charisma (might have been Ravi Shastri), and for some reason it's stuck with me ever since

 

[mr_mister]

Wow how much of a square was Richard

You know someone knows nothing when they say all drugs are bad except alcohol

Remember the name,CARLOS BRAITHWAITE.

Quite prescient really - you have to remember him for that since he's not going to do anything else

The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey

Along similar lines for some reason a random IPL commentator yelling "IT'S GONE INTO ORBIT" in one of the early seasons has really stuck with me as well

You bunch of weeds oughta be stoned in public for rolling out these puns, abysmal joint effort, I feel like giving you both a smack and then pouring acid on you

i feel like cw has improved, but now we just make de kock puns, so maybe i'm wrong

My high tolerance for Richard around this period is up there with some of the girls I dated in my teens when it comes to questionable life choices I've made.

You can send someone into a spiral with this.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The strange is that most regular posters always knew what Richard meant even at his most obtuse, but they argued with him anyway because it was funnier. His line when someone told him he was wrong is still the best thing ever written on the Internet: "No, I'm not wrong. I'd not have said what I said if it had been wrong."

 

[OverratedSanity]

"I don't know why the bowlers aren't bowling more bouncers" - Ramiz Raja commentating a NZ/Pak match a day after Phil Hughes' death

It's my favourite because for once, Danny Morrison just shut the **** up and didn't know what to say.

 

[Kirkut]

EA Cricket 07 commentary glitches with Mark Nicholas and Benaud. Especially when Benaud keeps repeating "spin it into the rough" after every ball while you're bowling with a spin bowler in a test match.

 

[Bijed]

Michael Slater at Trent Bridge 2015, just before the third ball of the innings is bowled:

"Australia have got to focus on batting to lunch."

Prophetic

 

[wellAlbidarned]

someone must've slipped richard some shrooms to make him quit cw

 

[King Pietersen]

Johnny that's better than most. How about in? That is better than most. BETTER THAN MOST.


Oh, sorry, wrong forum.
