The funny side of cricket revealed on radio.
Sunday, March 13, 2011
I wanted to watch the World Cup match between South Africa and India but didn't have the TV so turned on the radio in my mobile, In India where cricket is a religion the people sitting on radio cricket commentary chairs are certainly atheists. These are some extracts of what I have been through...
-> Cricket commentary in quotes.
-> Comments on commentary in stars.
1. "Bad return...Bad overthrow rather"
*bad return must be on his portfolio and bad overthrow... a good example of a bad adjective that is redundant per se*
2."The South Africans have bought their family members, not only to tour the country but also to watch World Cup"
*So cricket is secondary and sightseeing is of prime importance... what a cricket lover crowd.*
3. "Styne to Harbhajan... he is bowled(is wicket k prayojak hai falana dheemka)....as I told you before he is out, he tried a cross-bat pull shot but the outcome was out."
*pull and hook are played cross bat...!!! OMG will Wiki that to confirm... I thought it was a batting doosra by Bhajji*
4."Gend mari leg me aur field kia.....(Sanjay Manjerekar whispering to him: "Dumini Dumini") Dumini ne"
*aap ko mahabharat ka live vivran denge sanjay aur dhratrastra...*
5. "Sanjay Manjeraker has rightly predicted that they might hit in this power play"
* hitting in power play..!!!! So naive...I predict that they r lazy and want a alibi for not running single*
6. "it's a four...if you lose your girlfriend you may be heartbroken but if you get hit for 4 don't let your heart to break but work hard"
6. "it's a four...if you lose your girlfriend you may be heartbroken but if you get hit for 4 don't let your heart to break but work hard"
*no comments....rape me*
7. "Ppl have come from all over the world and India n particularly central India, Central India is very close to Nagpur."
7. "Ppl have come from all over the world and India n particularly central India, Central India is very close to Nagpur."
*Nagpur is the center of central India you 'I missed my geography class for PT Period.' *
8. "Gend waha nahi lagi jaha se mithi aawaz aati hai, ek single se santust"
*Sachin is standing with a guitar in his hand...strings attached...sweet spot pe lag jati to 4 single mil jaate tere baap ko*
