Everyone is welcome to post commentary quotes that have lingered in their memories

The ones I clearly remember are:

"They're dancing in the aisles in Sharjah"
Tony Greig's favourite commentary line from Sharjah Matches

"Going, Going, Goneeeeeeeee
"
Dean Jones on huge sixes

"You little beauty"
Used by many, but suits best and most commonly used by Bill Lawry

"The Earth Shook!" :))) :bumble!
 
Boom Boom Afridi .... by Shastri!
 
"and that's six number...TWO HUNDRED!" :afridi
 
He's moved to 95 and so far he's had a party. Shastri on Afridi's fastest ton's game.
 
Since the thread is about Quotes I can't forget, not favourite ones, heres one I can never forget because it used to come on tensports 1000000 times a day during commercials:

David Gower: "There it is, Brian Charles Lara becomes the first man, in the history of the game, to register a score of 400"
 
Alan Lamb has been cleaned up....perhaps so too England.
Subtract Lewis....played on.....Wasim akram is on a hattrick.

"Ohhhhhh, he's knocked him ovaaaa!" :akhtar :akhtar
 
These are not hits, these are Skud missiles. Down the track, opens his shoulders and yet another skud: Another gem by Shastri in that fastest ton match. :afridi
 
"Last ball coming up... 4 runs required... and its a six, and Pakistan have won, unbelievable win for Pakistan... Miandad the great they chant, Miandad the great"
 
Also Bill Lawry "Thats a ripper"

He is very fun to listen to
 
"Oh well bowled ... beautifully bowled ... wonderfully bowled ... brilliantly bowled ... that is absolutely unreal ... that man has risen to the occasion and has bowled the most wonderful yorker!"
- Tony Greig
 
This is the biggest commentary fail I remember from my life of following cricket :p

Another one I can't forget

Wonder where this commentator went off to :inzi
 
I think that was the 2nd fastest ton.

No, it was during his fastest hundred against SL. The famous Shastri quote from the 2nd one was "BANG again".

"Pakistan win the World Cup": Lawry. :imran
 
"Oh well bowled ... beautifully bowled ... wonderfully bowled ... brilliantly bowled ... that is absolutely unreal ... that man has risen to the occasion and has bowled the most wonderful yorker!"

quotes you will never forget!

speaking of :kami Nasser said something fantastic when he smashed Steyn for a straight six in the 2009 semi, something like:

"Oh, the real Pakistan has shown up today..."

something like that, can't find the clip.

that was class!
 
Can't beat this one:-
This quote was made after Eddie Nichols, the third umpire, ruled Shivnarine Chanderpaul 'NOT OUT' in the second test at Port of Spain T&T "Eddie Nichols is a man who cannot find his own buttocks with his two hands." :rondu

Even I can't remember the exact words..
"Which side has turned up today" .. something along those lines.
 
I think the exact words were - "Well I think we know which Pakistan has turned up today".
 
shastri on tendu reaching 200 in odi..

doordarshan hindi commentry without any background noise..

:amir
 
Nasir Hussain : "and the old man takes the catch!" - commeting on :moyo as he takes a blinder of a catch :akhtar

Tony Cozier: "Once again for Pakistan Inzamam is the man."

Lawry: "Baaaaaannnnnngggg"

Lawry: "What a ripper"

Waqar: "You youngsta beauty"

Waqar Younis ''You youngster beauty''

Pommie Mbangwa all the time after a boundary ''Oaawwww oawwww what a shot''

Dean Jones ''Going,going goooone''


Michael Slater is really enjoyable to listen to along with Shane Warne

Heres a Warne classic after a woman had to remove her pink cardigan as it was distracting the batsman ''Good thing she isnt wearing a pink bra underneath'' !

That was just outrageous :)))

Michael Holding's accent in general,John Bishop as well.Love their Caribbean lingo.
 
the most thrilling Test match I've ever seen, absolute drama...even my dad who never watches anything other than Ind-Pak was absolutely riveted.
 
Pommie Mbanwa: "OOoo My word............"

"Sound the Fawad Alam" (Slater or Nicholas? :13:)
 
You should know that Nicholas can never be so inventive. When somebody appeals all he can say is "What about it? What about it?" like some moronic novice.
 
Sorry Ian Bishop :))) Theres a comedian called John Bishop and got mixed up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bishop_(comedian)

He is very under-rated,he has been excellent with his analysis during the SL-WI Test series and he has made a good combination with Russell Arnold,who has a habit of smiling rather blatantly at the camera and makes for hilarious viewing.

Also,Danny Morrison is brilliant,very excitable.Similar to Michael Slater in a way.

''Game on folks'' !
 
I wish I sounded like Nicholas.

and Desmond from LOST.

Morrison, Bishop, Arnold, all 3 are great...especially Bishop.
 
Well Nass, I think the field is absolutely, completely wrong. They've changed the field, they've brought fine leg up, they've put a man out for a short wide-long off. What is going on?
There he is, the man out for the short wide-long off, and he catches it! Well done, Ian Botham!
 
For the full stretch of 5 wickets.very good stuff from everyone in the box.

Or he goes 'Hello? Hello hello hello! Hello?'
 
How can any of you forget the classic:



"Hawaaa me urtha ghaya shot fielder gend ke niche aa rahe hain our yeh ground se bahir aur che rans haasil kiye Imran Nazir ne! :mib"

:D that was awesome, and good on Harmy too!

never seen anyone use the slope at Lord's in a more devastating fashion.

absolute class bowling, was unplayable that day.
 
That made a real CLANGINGGGG soundddd

Everyone was top class throughout that spell in the box, agreed. 'specially Richie.
 
David Gower:
"So far so good for England..aaaaaAAAAaaaaaaa.." [pause] "sorry.. excuse me there..that was.. someone putting a chair on my foot"

:))) :)))

[utube]Pht2ApNG53U[/utube]

brilliant without a doubt! :D
 
one more for the entire over, which obviously is difficult to forget.

"Bangladesh fought hard, but they were up against the quality of a man possessed" :raja
 
"He's scooped it, he's scooped it to short fine leg and......." *crowd roars* "DILSHAN! Has FAILED on the BIGGEST OCCASION."

"Pakistan have QUALIFIED.. For the ICC WORLD T20. WHAT A fairytale this is for Pakistan!"

'Sreeeeeeeeeeeeesaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanth takes it!' - Shastri :misbah

Haunted forever.
 
David Gower's :)heart: in a completely straight way) quote when Afridi pulled Pathan for six at Edgbaston 2004: "He's not just cleared the rope, he's cleared the fence. It's into the crowd" Dunno why I loved that

Pommie Mbangwa's regular quota of "Awwwwwww that's a super shot"

Some New Zealand when Abdul Razzaq smashed 89 off 40 balls: He's lethal!

And perhaps the best of the bunch: Mal Loye sweeps Johnson for six, Bill Lawry goes:

"Ah, there he goes...OOH, THERE SHE GOES! Yoohoo, that's a big one" :)))

I find Tony Greig OK, he's very repetetive "Oh he's hit that, he's really hit that" Yes Tony we know. But he brings memories
