Anything said when Bill Lawry and Tony Craig are together and Pakistan is playing. AWESOME!

"Its all happening here" probably uttered a milliion times but never loses its excitement.

"Pakistan is on fire here at the MCG" is probably a derivative of what Lawry really said during the 92 world cup final when Inzi and Wasim were batting.

Aamer Sohail's tongue in cheek comment, I think when Afridi hit a century in India against India

"Afridi is on fire" ... and a few seconds later Sohail: "and soon the stadium will be too"


followed by a few more seconds of utter silence... BRILLIANT!
 
50 association between these two *or something like that* Ramiz sahib
 
Rameez Raja:

It's up to Boucher to start a relationship with de Villiers

Another one of go to lines:

"There is no m"a"thod to his batting" :raja
 
'You don't try to kill someone before they're about to commit suicide' - Navjot Singh Sidhu commenting on a run out in the 2004 Pak-Indo series.
 
I remember one from Sikander Bakht as he was doing urdu commentary during a Pak vs Aus game.
" mein in angraizon (aussie players) Kay naam lenay sey avoid karta hoon k bahot mushkil hotay hain"

Watson pulling a ball which wasnt nearly as short

"What a shot, the ball wasnt there but he made it there" :waqar

And there are two things I simply hate about commentating

1) Arun Lal saying "Indeed"
2) Mbangwa saying "Oh my word/world" (could never figure it out in all these years) :manzoor
 
"Well i think we've worked out which pakistan have turned up today"
"Its The One To Be Afraid Of"

Nasser Hussain - After Kamran Akmal Smashed Dale Steyn for a massive six - World t20 Semi Final VS SA at Trent Bridge June 2009
 
Not sure if this counts but I'll put it in anyway.

Rameez to Adnan: "Is your dad 'pumping out' more Akmals?"
 
Also Mark Nicholas saying "Hello? Helllloo? Hellloooooo?" When theres a big appeal in progress

Does he find nothing better to say than that??

I was just gonna mention that! Some gems from that match:

"Hit straight--how straight--perfectly straight! A 50 in 23 balls!"

"He's lethal!"

In the same innings: "How far's that gone that's gone is it yep, you're right, it's gone all right!"

Not really amazing commentary, but I'll always remember this Holding quote for the humour.

"I always prefer having the option of two balls


... cricket balls that is".

:akhtar
 
Ian smith talking about a leg glance played by Tendulkar

"Any batsman in the world would have put that away, but some just put it away better than others"
 
During Pakistan's last tour to Aus, Warnie & Slater were talking about Bollinger bowling a fuller length then other Aussies before the start of play. When Bolly mentioned he likes to target batsman's box.

Warnie in his typical style later remarked. "Well Bollinger likes to aim at batsman's middle stump" :warne
 
Just heard this one

"Well we've worked out which Pakistan have turned up today. Its the ones we're afraid of" by Nasser hussain after kamran akmal's six to dale steyn
 
Just saw the show on the 1992 world cup, and have a new quote that I will never forget

Richie Benaud on Alam Lamb getting bowled by Akram "Allan Lamb has been cleaned up, and perhaps, so too are England"

LEGEND
 
It is in the Chris Gayle 92 from 40 balls thread:

' Anything that goes that high needs a flight attendant'

If you didn't get a PoTW award for this one, you will never get one. Awesome effort. :14:
 
i liked the way mark nicholas said, "This is Pakistan!!" when Ajmal took someone's wicket in the World Cup 2011.

Also when the commentator was praising Miandad in that Sharjah match with the last ball 6, he said about the crowd, "Great Miandad! Great Miandad they chant......"

cant remember who it was, maybe Bill Lawry who said, "it's all over! it's all over!" in the early 90s when pakistan won a tight match............
 
Pommie Mbangwa:
beautifully played..it's a BEAUTIFUL SHOT...It's a beautiful six..it's a beautiful bowler:afridi
