It won't be much of a laugh when translated. It is mostly based on some rhyming words which may make no sense in English dude. and in the first place, it is not that funny in Hindi either. So, you are not missing on something great mate.]]> Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:53:58 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5292&PID=213499#213499 Commentary for the World Cup : Sam, why don't you convert... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5292&PID=213493#213493 Author: spin wizard

Yes Ganguly always comes out with good points, but fails to capture my imagination as a commentator. Feel he's not dynamic or pro-active enough. Doesn't raise the enthusiasm level of me as a spectator. Yes his articles are always a good read but too dull to be a commentator. Seems to still be hugely popular with the masses ( and rightly so). Got huge cheers whenever he was being flashed on the Big Screen.

Talking of commentary, here are some sentences used by Hindi commentators on Star Sports. absolutely hilarious, it is like comedy + cricket at the same time! sorry about posting the stuff in hindi though, I hope the mods won't mind. only for guyz who can understand the language.

"Do over baaki hai ab... teen over... nahi char over baaki hai abhi"

"meri agar maane to ye out hain our out hi dena caahiye kyunki mujhe lagta hai ki ye out hain"

"Flower jinka matlab phool hai, ek murjhaye hue phool ki tarah ho gaye hain"

"Suresh Raina aisa catch tab bhi le sakte the jab 8 saal ke the"

"Bhartiye chehre ab khil gaye hain, daant nikal aaye hain"

"fast bouncer jhukne par majboor kar deti hai, slow bouncer rukne par majboor kar deti hai"

"achche achche ballebaaz ki batti gul kar dete hai umer gul"

Yes. Morisson was there. Shivaramakrishnan and Arunlal are a part of Neo Sports commentary team. So they won't be here.
 
From Pakistan, would have preferred Iqbal Qasim over Rameez Raja. He used to comment in the 90's. Not seeing him now a days.

Interesting piece of commentary during the SL/PAK game had Rameez Raja saying:
During the Ind/Pak matches under Imran Khan, Imran was very particular that no one was to give away their wicket to Kapil Dev, doing so would make him furious.
And once even a century vs ind didn't help rameez'z cause, he'd got out to kapil and had to face the wrath of imran's fury.
That's why i always prefer to have ex-cricketers as commentator no matter their proficiency in the language as one gets to hear such inside stories..]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 06:12:12 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5292&PID=213178#213178 Commentary for the World Cup : You are right.

Here in India it is broadcasted in Star Cricket. The team (so far) is:
Ravi Shastri
Sunil Gavaskar
Mike Atherton
Ian Botham
David Llyod
Nasser Hussain
 
How about the commentators in different countries?
 
I'm surprised that you didn't hear Ather Ali Khan in the first game Kiran, also Wasim and Ramiz are commentating for all games that are being played in SLN. I think Holding is also there and will be on once WI start playing (tomorrow) we'll have someone from RSA too.
