Look who's talking?

There is nothing more hilarious(sometimes frustrating) than watching a boring cricket match with Hindi commentary on. From the ballebaaj dor rahe hai to the fielder ne lapak liya to ball hawa mein uchal di hai, it all is a lot of laughs...

Today was one of the days when I was forced to watch the match with only two hindi commentators for company. I decided to take advatnage of the scene and noted the following jewels. Read on and decide what was more interesting, the match or the commentary:

1. Aur wicketkeeper ab batsman se bilkul chipak kar khade hain.
2. aur ye michael clarke reng kar ball par lapke.
3. aur ye acha shot aur nischint hi chaar run. Par ye out. kahi se ek fielder udta hua aayan aur hawa mein se ball ko kheech nikala.
4. After five overs: Aaj balleebaajo mein kuch taalmel nazar nahi aa raha.
After six overs: Kaushik, kya aap dekh rahe hain ki aaj dono batsman bahut achi running between the wickets ka pradarshan kar rahe hain.
5. Aur drinks break mein humne dekha ki gambhir ne khub gap gap karke kele khaye. Shaayad ab unme Shaktimaan wali taakat aa gayi hogi.
6. Australia ek aisi team hain jise aap ek ungli yaani ek wicket pakdayo to woh pura haath yaani puri team ki wickets ko le jaati hain.
7. agar aap kaptaan ke chehre ko dhyaan se dekho to aap samjhege ki woh mathe ki stress lines fatafat gayab ho rahi hain.
8. Aur Brett lee ball par aisa kude ki khoonam khoon ho gaye.
9. Brett Lee wapis maidan mein aa gaya hain aur khooni sher jo ghayal ho gaya ho, bowling ke liye daud rahe hain.

Funny...But very irritating when India seemed to lose track of the match.
All panned out well in the end, India won the match. Or should I say it in the same way the Hindi commentator said it in 'matri bhasha'

"Aur iss tabad tod shot ke saath, Punjab ke sher ne bharat ko apne sheher Mohali ki ticket dila di hain."

Ufff...He must have completely written this down as part of a script earlier. No one is that funny(read dumb) to come up with this one...
