Funny Commentary Quotes

[cbuts]

another sidhu classic. im not sure if this one has been posted, but during last years indian tour to nz. after another dreadful fielding display by the indians, one of the subs dropped an easy boundry catch. to this sidhu said "someone please give that indian some rope, so he can put us all out of our missery by hanging himself."

Richy Benau- "that was a great **** shot..."

 

[Damien Martyn]

err sry guys it blanked out the word it was "that was a great C*NT shot:rolleyes: :wow: :P

 

[marc71178]

Hmm, maybe it blanked it out for a reason?

 

[Sudeep]

One of my fav. Sidhuism is:

A shot without elegance is like a kiss without passion!


And the most annoying is:

India is jelling together as a cohesive unit.

If Sidhu uses the words "jelling" and "cohesive" again, I'll kill him.

One piece of commentary attributed to John Arlott:

Discussing NZ bowler Bob Cunis at the close of play Arlott said:

"Cunis's bowling, much like his name, was neither one thing nor the other."

He was a rather good Indian opener...

12th man is great in my opinion.. Tanny Grig

Didn't hear this one myself and I hope it hasn't already been posted here but it's funny never the less - Ian Smith in the VB series a couple of years ago "Ohh can you believe it they've run
themselves out again- this is double suicide" then Richie Benaud interupts "Ahh Ian, thats the replay"

Merv Hughes, unhappy with the English field placings, says, while Stewart runs off to fetch the ball, "they've dispensed with the keeper now, he's gone down to third man".

Mohinder Amarnath's "he uprooted the offstump out of the ground!".

Sidhu saying "clean as a whisker", and on being told it's "whistle", not "whisker", shutting up for a whole five minutes.

Kris Srikkanth's "squire cut", and his reference to the Indian team as "us"...

I'm new to this board, so I would like to say "Hi all!!"

Well, I remember a funny quote from a commentator, from radio i think. There was an aussie commentator and one from another country. The aussie said "he's nackered" about one of the players, but the other commentator took it literally and was getting all freaked out, coz he thought the player had actually been nackered.

Thanks!! I'm suprised at how many other west aussies there are on this forum!! It's cool that there are other ppl here from perth!!

I hate when Tony Cozier call Chanderpaul "Chandrapaul" and Sarwan "Sharwan". You're West Indian dammit..learn to pronounce their names correctly!

Maybe cozier's being correct by pronouncing their Indian names.....chanderpaul would be chandrapal, and sarwan is pronounced shrawan in india.

I don't think the name "Sarwan" has anything to do with "Shravan"...

sidhu's dad was a lawyer....and he was famously known in court for his book of phrases/proverbs.....it was a HUGE book!sidhu, i reckon, makes use of that and pains us with his seudo-intellectual remarks!

Shane Warne - it's been worth the "weight"

this was a quote from a paper in Sydney!

"Murali has been having some problems with impotency due to the constant chanting of "no-ball! no-ball! no-ball!"

 

[Prince EWS]

Richie Benaud: "Australia need to score more runs and take more wickets if they want to win."

Bill lawry: "Someone should rush the message out to Steve Waugh."

I was watching an old tape of the 93/94 B&H World Series between Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In the game between Australia and South Africa at the 'Gabba, Dean Jones was smashing all the SA Bowlers around the ground and then he cracked a six straight down he ground, to which Richie Benaud said "I'll get it!"
