Of commentators.. and other things

These days, when it comes to sport, especially cricket, watching it can be more fun if you pay attention to the commentary.

As retired players, they've got nothing much to do back home, and decide to bring a little humor *unintentionally of course* in to the game. :P

Ramiz Raja is perhaps the biggest clown in the box. He rambles nothing but flim flam sprinkled with some fancy english words. Eg: "How well he has managed to mitigate this innings in the last few overs."
What sort of nonsense is that!?
And one more on the leg spinner Amit Mishra - "Amit Mishra... he can spin the ball" :|
Yea, thanks.. I didn't know that.

I remember the old days, when I used to listen to Tony Greig, and he has made a few cracks like this as well. One of them went like - "Oh! All the Indians in the stands are alive now!" xD

Set Max had a few muddleheads for anchors this year. This guy, Samir Kochar.. looks like a constipated horse trying to be funny, lets loose a comment such as "It's not going to be easy..... because it's going to be hard." <-- Really? Wow :| These people must have an IQ of a worker ant.

And this other chap Chang, the lame Indian Idol winner. He questions a player who didn't make it to the playing 11: "Are you happy, that you are not playing today?" Chang, you should just go home to Assam or wherever you came from. :|

Danny Morisson, THIS guy, is my favorite. He never ceases to entertain me with his pathetic BUT funny gimmicks. In the final,when things were getting tighter for the Royal Challengers, Kohli cut the ball to deep backward point. Danny : "oooo virat coolie.." *coolie? LMAO* "he's just so cooool...." :|
And for the last excerpt, this one from our very own 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar commentating on Shane Warne's brilliant bowling :"An Indian would say, 'Usko ullu banaya' ... that is he has made him an ullu."

^ oh, brother... :\
