In the world cup against Pakistan:

Andersons on fire.
funny for me anyway

And the guy who does live commentary on the Sky Sports website:

Commentator 1: This is a day-night match.
Commentator 2: It's a good thing Anderson isn't playing, otherwise it would be a day-night-day match.

John Arlott (IIRC) - England v WI in the 80s:

"The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey"

That's been mentioned 156029384 times so far in this thread. This was the first one I could actually understand though. The rest were just "the bowlers holding the batsmen willy!" and made no sense to me, now I recognize that they were the players names.
