19 Most funny bloopers in cricket commentary

19 Most funny bloopers in cricket commentary: Commentary is all about keeping the listener informed and enthralled about the happenings of the event on the field. But in their excitement sometimes the commentators mess up, and that results in them saying something totally different from what they intended. Like all sporting commentators around the world, those who preside over the cricket microphones are also known for their ridiculous statements and bloopers. From the downright ridiculous ones to the absolute hilarious, you will find cricket commentators quite often goof up with their thoughts and uttering something that they didn’t really mean. Here are the 19 Most funny bloopers in cricket commentary: 1. Did you just say that: Rameez Raja.

( Photo Source: Google) Raja described Younis Khan’s running between the wickets like this – “Younus Khan is running beautifully” Two salutes to Mr. Rambo Raja. 4. Oh really!!: Rameez Raja. ( Photo Source: Google) Commentator 1: “Absolutely brilliant! Complete credit to the bowler, Umesh Yadav bowling at 146 kmph and it’s not easy for a 6’2” fast bowler (Morne Morkel) to take such a catch!” Rameez Raja: “Well, I think the credit must be given to Aaron Finch (The dismissed batsman) for playing that shot, so that Morne could catch it!” LOL? Seriously Ramiz? 5. “GentleMen” game: (source) This happened in one of the IPL 2015 matches. Russel Arnold commented on a incident where players showed sportsmanship: “This is why cricket is called a ‘Gentlemen’s game'”. The other commentator in the box was Lisa Sthalekar, a woman cricket player. Awkward silence prevailed next… 6. During an IPL match with RCB batting: (Photo Source: BCCI) The commentators were discussing the star studded RCB batting. The lone female commentator says, “Chris Gayle, Kohli, AB… It’s a mouth watering lineup isn’t it”. *pause* “Speaking solely about their cricketing abilities of course!”. The microphones were switched off for a whole minute after this statement! 7. Umpire Cam should strictly be switched off after the match: (source) During an IPL match: Imagine if umpire forgets to turn off the cam on his head and goes to rest room, then we can see everything the umpire does, the commentating panels laughs so loud. Then one lady commentators says, people will “Switch off the TV” 8. Mr. Raja at it again: Rameez Raja. ( Photo Source: Google) Rameez Raza on air when Zimbabwe batsman, Gary Brent was struck on the unmentionables by a Shahid Afridi delivery in the 2007 World Cup: “The pain is momentary. I can tell you… from personal experience. It’s very painful at first, and then it evaporates. The physio is out on the field I wonder what he’s doing to Brent. Maybe taking a look to make sure everything is OK. Perhaps to check if the cup is well positioned”. 9. HOPE!: Rameez Raja. ( Photo Source: Google) Rameez Raja: “Kamran Akmal is not Misbah’s next choice. He’s not padded up. He’s not even wearing his trousers. He’s wearing shorts I think..I hope he is!” 10. Brian Johnston, BBC Radio: (Source) “Ray Illingworth has just relieved himself at the pavilion end”. 11. Johnston again: (Source) “Welcome to Worcester where you’ve just missed seeing Barry Richards hitting one of Basil D’Oliveira’s balls clean out of the ground”. 12. Great arithmetic: “If you go in with two fast bowlers and one breaks down, you’re left two short”. 13. Oh we didn’t know!: (source) “This game will be over any time from now” – Alan McGilvray, ABC Radio. 14. The hazards of saying it too fast: (Source) “In the back of Hughes’ mind must be the thought that he will dance down the piss and mitch one”. – Tony Greig, Channel 9 15. Can’t stop laughing: Rameez Raja. ( Photo Source: Google) During a match Raja described Praveen Kumar as “Praveen has an experienced hand” 16.
