Please dont comment(ary)....

Hey people...now that i am firmly into the corporate culture(yeah right!)...i thought it is time that i updated my blog and report that training has got over and my learning has begun...no no...that last line isnt erronous...its true...so anyway...to keep up with all the cubicle talk and not find myself lost out here...i am following the twenty20 world cup closely...well as closely as i can get to the tv in ccd...whilst standing outside....yeah... i stand outside the cafe on the street and watch the match...and yes i do that so that i dont have to order and i can save money...HOW cheap!! eh?...well if i get better tea at "Lakshmi chai tapri" than the crappy "Darjeeling Tea" which costs 30 odd bucks...and is essentially hot water served with milk and a tea-bag, i see no sense in it.

So as things were i got fed up of listening to shakira feat. beyonce - " beautiful liar" and what not while watching cricket. So for the India - Pak match i hauled my butt to a friends place to watch the match with full commentary and all. So here i am, all pumped up for this gotta-to-be-great match...and to my horror...the match was available on Star Cricket only, and with HINDI COMMENTARY....noooooooo!!....God save my ears from decay!

So to those of you who missed the torture....dont worry i will reproduce some of the finest moments of Arun Lal, Atul Wassan, Jimmy Amarnath...and group.

1) "aur yeh tez prahar yuvraj singh ka!! pakistan par!!" .... tez prahar!!??....What the...Where's the war raging mate?

2) "Yeh bahut hi karara shot...nishchit taur pe yeh chhakka hain....lekin...kintu...yeh yahan par catch out!!"...man could you eva be more on the wrong side....guffaws!!

moments later....

3) "Yeh dekhiye...bahut hi tez prahar kiya tha yuvraj ne...mujhe to laga tha ki yeh to chhakka jayega hi jayega...lekin ground thoda bada hain....hava bhi chal rahi hain"....blah blah blah....whateva mate...you screwed up!....

4) "ballebaaz theek se ball ke neeche nahi aa paye"....huh?...ball ke neeche?....whats that man?...i guess he was trying a word-to-word translation of 'getting under the ball to hit over the top'...man!!...more guffaws!

5) Now, Salman Butt (thats a joke right there huh?)...gave himself room and smashed it through covers for four...see the reaction of "Jimmy Amarnath" :
" Yeh bahut hi sundar shot....bas balle ko mod karke halke se bas disha si de di ball ko"....dude he literally wacked the cover off that one man!!

6) Now for the clincher....get ready for this guys :
One of the pakistani batsmen swings through the line and top-edges one from pathan...its a skier....our mate in the commentary box gets all excited....the blood flow to his brain increases so much that his skull gets flooded...he cannot think...he just blurts out what comes to his mind first :

"Aur yeh gaind hava mein!!....seedhi upar gayi hain!!....neeche aayegi zaroor." whoa!...that was unexpected!!....HA HA HA!!...(guffaws)....clutch-your-tummy-roll-on-the-floor-and-roar-with-laughter!!...

I thought of adding to the commentatores words as so...:
".....neeche aayegi zaroor.....mujhe Newton pe poora bharosa hain...woh bola hoga to theek hi bola hoga...."

he he he....feel free to add any of your own remembrances of these foolish clowns posing as comentators.....

Inspite of yer post's title here i have to! was fun reading, can't comment abt hindi much cuz i watched all of india's matches on espn. However, the most amusing thing abt hindi commentators like jimmy and the ones doin it for AIR is the sudden (outta nowhere) variation in wateva they sayin..An AIR commentator :: "Aur yeh zordar shot lagaya hai...ball boundary ki taraf daudti hui(with full excitement)..Aur yeh ek run(in a relaxed, phlegmatic tone)..lolz.

"Aur yeh saurabh ki taraf se lekhni ka ek aur shandaar pradarshan" ;). Very well narrated article- seriously these hindi commentators drive u crazy. But u also need to see hindi commentary of football match-u will get plethora of such examples"aur ...... ne gaind idhar fenki aur udjar fenki". Waiting for ur article on hindi commentary of football match :):):).

Heard on Star Cricket:
"Agar wahaan fielder khade na hote toh ye nischit chauka jaata"

Isme naya kya hai bhai??? fielder nahin hoga toh chauka jaana hi hai

The game is english and will obviously suite english commentary, so Y make fun of these petty hindi commentators? It ain`t their fault.
