batting without discipline...

"is like an apple pie without cheese, or a kiss without a squeeze."

"small leaks will sink a big ship"



just 2 comments by the indian commentator in the past 2 minutes in the NZ test

 

[dr nick]

"it's very difficult to dance on a crooked floor" ..... referring to batting on this green-top

 

[dr nick]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

India are leading after the completion of both 1st innings after failing to score 100.

whatsmore... both teams faced exactly the same number of deliveries.

India 99, NZ 94.

Go India!

and there's more..

I had these sent to me the other day! There is fair bit to read... dzm

SIDHUISMS GALORE

There, there, that's a dead duck!

As innocent as freshly laid eggs.

All that comes from a cow is not milk.

The ball whizzes past like a bumble bee and the Indians are in the sea.

Bengal without Tigers!

He's in a soup!


Bamboozles and mesmerizes.

Commenting on Sri Lankans as demons on the slow and sluggish pitches:
When you are dining with the demon you've got to have a long spoon!

Don't open your old umbrella and run it over your shoulder.

Beauty even when silent is eloquent.

The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a haystack.

Yuvraj Singh - The pied piper of Punjab!

Harbhajan - The sardar from Jalandhar !

On S.Ramesh's diving catch in 1st innings of 2nd test vs. Sri Lanka:
He flew like a bird and plucked it out of thin air.

Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taxi meter.

He pierced it through an eye of a needle.

As crisp as a cracker.

New Zealanders have their limits, The kiwis are the birds that cannot fly!


About Chris Harris he said:
He is a dibbly dobbly bowler.


My idea of a bird is 36-24-36.


Runs are flowing like the fare in Indian taxi.

When he fielded well as a substitute for Sachin Tendulkar in the 1 dayers:
Ajit Agarkar is as fresh as a daisy.


When a loud appeal was rejected:
Big outcry, no outcome!

Its very difficult to kill a man who is hell bent upon committing suicide!

Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide.

The Indians are jelling together as a cohesive unit.

The pitch is as dead as a dodo.

Dravid has hit this shot as straight as a candle.

SETIZENS' FAVOURITE SIDHUISMS

Taking the cake with a red cherry on top. [3]

To Martin Crowe:
The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world which does not have wings! [2.7]
As cool as a cucumber! [2.5]

The wily fox is back. Its an ill omen when a fox licks its lambs. [2]

Young Ricky will fight a rattlesnake and give him the first two bites! [2]
The gap between bat and pad is so much that I would have driven a car through it... !! [1.8]

A beauty I heard before I went off to the SCG today:
"Flattery is like chewing gum. Have fun with it, but don't swallow it."

Sidhu's great. I like his work.

 

[JUBJUB]

Another funny comment he made this morning was
"noise means nothing my friend,even a hen laying an egg cackles as if she's laid an asteroid"

 

[dr nick]

And there were one or two others - but cant remember them - but it was enough for my wife who wasn't watching the game but was reading the paper, pricking up her ears and asking "Who is that?"

Actually when he talks "normally" - he is good to listen to as well!! - makes a lot of sense!
