"win the toss, put the runs on the board, get the wickets...as simple as that" - we need Ravi Shastri to teach us cricket every time he delivers the pitch report!
ReplyDeletethat up in the aaaaaaaair!!!! (after the ball is caught, after the batsman leaves...)... thats a supppppperb catch by 'the fielder' at long-on! One gets the feeling the match is almost over now...
ReplyDelete(At the presentation ceremony): We had an excellent exhibition of cricket today. Over <n> runs were scored and in the end, it took a superb innings from <some_player> to win the match for <some_team></some_team></some_player></n>
ReplyDelete'He's a powerhouse. When it's his day, it's his day. Great exhibition of power hitting.' At least now he's stopped using 'It's a pressure-cooker situation out here.'
ReplyDelete"doctor ordered"...overlooked....gaffe,this
ReplyDeleteNext we need a commentary generator for Siddhu.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't order the doctor? And the captain delivering the good? Flashed. Flashed HARD. But you did hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteI did now - thanks for that. :)

"Yeeesss( In a nasal tone)". "Great work on the outfield there. One gets the feeling he might have cracked his ankle." "One gets the feeling that he might have slightly injured himself there." "You just can't afford to drop those. If you need to win matches, you've got to take those catches."
ReplyDelete"The atmosphere here is electrifying to say the least"
ReplyDelete'The men who matter are out in the centre', 'The atmosphere is electric!', 'At the end of the day, cricket is the winner.' 'And the reason why he's out there in the middle is because...' 'ANNNNNNNND TAKEN!!'
