A cricket match is not complete without a television commentator driving you up the wall with his truisms and bizarre analysis..... I am no great fan but watching a match recently on T.V reminded me why i was not a fan in the first place......Occasionally the commentary is so bad that it is better to watch these matches without any sound......and the irritating thing is the commentary does not make any sense and is repetitve and unbearable......its really easy to see why....
Given below is a list of the some annoying phrases put forward by the commentators .....
1."he always give 110%"
Given below is a list of the some annoying phrases put forward by the commentators .....
1."he always give 110%"
Sorry but that is impossible ..... whatever you do,you cant give more than 100%.....
2."the other team just didnt turn up"
Oh this ones from botham....rubbish.........so who were the first team doing on the ground in the first place.....a match is always played between two teams.....
3."this would be a good time to take a wicket"
Er....when is it ever a bad time to take a wicket?.....what the hell are the bowlers doing in the team then.....?
4. "he's hit that into orbit"
A recent one....depending on the no: of times they use this.......space must now be filled with orbitting cricket balls.....however high the ball is hit,it still wouldn be taller than the smallest skyscraper...
5." A bad day at the office"
What office?.....i thought this was a cricket match they were playing......
6."he's just run out of steam"
forgive me for not being aware cricketers run on steam in the first place.....
7."the gap between the pad and the bat was so wide you couldve driven a car through"
If thats the case then the batsman would have a 2 metre long arm........and i am pretty sure Mr.Fanatstic exists only in comic books.....
8."cricket is basically baseball on valium"
I am not even going to start on this one......cricket must also be basically football.rugby,tennis,badminton and swimming with valium....
9."the ball went so high it couldve got an airhostess down with it"
duh....the only way that might happen is if airhostesses sprout wings,develop the ability to fly and keep circling the cricket stadiums all day......
10."if the throw had been target he would have been out"
If paris hilton hadnt made those videos,she would be a virgin
11."lookin to take the pace off the ball"
I have a cricket ball in my room....it doesnt have any pace on it at all.....
12."if they had been offered 300 at the beginning of the match they would have taken it"
so who is it that actually makes these offers?
13."the team that doesnt win win will find itself on the losing side"
how insightful and innovative......
14. “Cricket is being played more in the mind than on the field"
fine...then why do we still have stadiums.....or the crowd...or the cricket gear and other stuff....
15 "catches win matches"
i am pretty sure it does.....bowling and batting doesnt win matches at all........ its only the catches....
16."thats gone miles in the air"
50 feet....alrite....100 feet....very rarely....but miles??
17."he certainly knows how to bat"
Of course he should.....if not then whats he doing in the team in the first place........
18."the batsman's hit that down the fielders throat"
its a cricket ball for gods sake....wont the fielder choke and die?
19."the atmosphere's electric here"
i agree the indian crowd are really passionate.....but do the commentators have to say that line every time???
20. "never write off the aussies"
I know australia have been the best team for many a year.....but when they are down 9 wickets and needing about 30 runs from 4 balls to win....i think it would be safe to count your chickens.....
