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 I turned on the radio on 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 the World Cup."
*So cricket is secondary, and sightseeing is of prime importance... what a cricket-loving 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 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 break, but work hard."
*no comments....rape me*
7. "Ppl have come from all over the world, and India and particularly central India. Central India is very close to Nagpur."
7. "Ppl have come from all over the world, and India and particularly central India. Central India is very close to Nagpur."
*Nagpur is the center of central India. 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.*
