Test Match Sofa - the alternative cricket commentary

[andyc]

Huzzah, heard Jono getting a mention.

Edit: Haha, and SS.

 

[Jono]

I tuned out, what'd they say?

Was mine about me saying we're lucky to have 2 tests, so don't complain?

And how did they respond to SS's claim about opposition teams whinging when India's wickets break up quickly?

Yeah they agreed and then made jokes about hardons and teased pricks.

They completely missed his point and started talking about overseas bowlers becoming more knowledgeable about how to bowl on wearing Indian wickets in recent times. Don't know what they thought he meant tbh.

Mathew Sinclair>Norf

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Oh man this is tremendous. Gonna get me through uni tomorrow.

 

[Shri]

This is ****ing great. Taking my speakers from the PC to the TV tomorrow. Will mute the game and listen to these guys instead!

TBF no one on here can understand SS and he's been posting for nigh on 4 years..

 

[biased indian]

can some body tweet them about the disabled ball boy being looked after by the Indian team ..think he is find in many stadiums during India matches

 

[Jono]

@ the commentary right now.

Basically saying Sachin doesn't show disdain in his face, he's too nice a guy, but just then he saw a delivery by George and for a second it looked like he was thinking "Really? Really, is that what you're bowling"

Forgetting of course that George got him out in the first dig lol.

 

[Jono]

Would have been good if The Sofa was on air for the Razzaq and Mathews ODIs!

 

[Corli]

They did broadcast the SA-Pak ODI on Sunday, at the end they were shouting so much that you couldn't hear what was happening in the match. But it was entertaining nonetheless.

 

[Jono]

Yeah I listened to the 3rd ODI.

Aatif, who is their Pakistani (well he's English, but of Pakistani descent) commentator. He's hilarious, so following the ebbs and flows of Pakistan making come backs then faltering was very entertaining.

 

[Flem274*]

They're broadcasting NZ/India apparently. Least these guys will be funny when we get written off and subsequently don't disappoint. Much better than being patronized by the TV commentators.

 

[Jono]

During the tea break they're facebook liking the least liked player profiles on cricinfo

Some hilariously random names being popped up. Players I've completely forgotten about.

 

[Jono]

Lol @ the Sehwag iPhone app idea

 

[Dissector]

Listening for the first time. Like the commentary but there seems to be a lag of around a minute from the action. Any other Indian posters having the same problems?

Prince EWS mentioned just now!!

I've been mentioned about 50 times today. Should probably shut up for five minutes.

 

[DragonPunk]

Haha between you and me Prince, I think we've hit the hundred.

Yeah, there is a bit of a lag whenever they call, Dissector.

 

[Smudge]

Not bad, not bad at all - the Pommy fella on at the moment has an excellent broadcasting voice.

 

[Jono]

You get used to the lag.
