achha khasa commentary!!!

Not long time ago, an intelleigent person marked cricket to be a foolish game played by several fools while thousands of fools wasting almost a whole day waching it. How ignorant can intelligent people be!!!!!! Alas if he had seen a cricket match screened by Doordashan with hindi commentry on. I would bet; any person let it be a psycho or cynic or even a dementor who doesn't know the word "laugh" and even the feeling, starts laughing instantly as he/she/it hears the live 'hindi' commentry.

guess what it would have been if its the other way round with hindi commentators initiating.

"aajka mausam bada achaa hain... aarahe hain sehwag aur dravid opening kanekeliye. jin darshako ne abhi abhi TV on karke dekhrahe hain unkeliye: India toss jeethkar batting karne ka nirnay kiya aur viru, dravid opening kar rahe hain. Aasha yahi hain ki aaj mausam se kuch problem nahi rahega! aur darshakon ko ek achha khasa match dekhne keliye milega" :o

"match ka pehle over ka pehla ball harmison ka veeru keliye. achha khaasa ball tha! ouside the offstump aur veeru ne jaane diya. ball ka bounce ko dekh kar kehsakthe hain ki pehle 15 overs batsmen keilye ek pariksha samay hosaktha hain. khaas kar sehwag ko jise ek achi baari khelna hain yahaan"

"sehwag midon ke upar se marna chahtha tha! lekin ball ka gathi aur disha ka sahi nirnay nahi kapaya. puri taraf se beat hogaya.."

-->"haan XXX. yahi tho probem hain agar koi batsmen form mein nahi hain tho koi bhi ball connect nahi hoga. bas veeru ki koshish yehi rahegi ki kuch run banaye jaye" --just forgetting the type of player sehwag is.

"achha khasa shoooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!" we jump from our seats as if it is a six but he ends up saying "third man ke taraf,ek run keliye.."

As if this commentry is not enough, the camera man adds up spice by showing us the floddlights. What he needs is just the batsmen trying to hit a shot, connected or not is least bothered. I definitely can say there would be many people who would just abuse him for just a few sec's though.. may be abuse is a big word to use here.

It was funny to have Maninder, et al. giving their commentary watching television in the studios. They had no idea of where the fielders were, and everytime Sehwag hit the ball in the air…poor maninder has no idea if it is a four, a six or its a catch or a drop catch!!

Every other time the commentator speaks out, I bet u can hear achha khasa ball or achaa khasa shot or even achhaa khasa fielding and and and achaa khasa decision! hadd hain ye tho. Its really funny to watch cricket on DD in the TV room here pushing ,smelling each others sweat, the TV room being packed with everyone bunking the classes and labs for the most liked sport in India. And if sehwag or yuvi is singing, you can hardly find a palce to fit in ur little finger and also the increase in humidity that makes us all,in the room,breathing water in air.Though the room is filled with the stiffled smell of sweat,we love it... we love it to be there, the smell being the sweating smell of hope for a six or a wicket, we love being a part of cricket.

Is it the most irritating part when watching cricket on DD? as far as I am concerned "No".. atleast i have reasons to laugh at.Anyway I dont understand why people hate criket? Atleast after such commentry we should love the game. :P The intelligent person may accept that this game,to be specific the commentry, can help some forget-to-laugh souls to get back to normal state.

Nice one, Mohan :-)

but not only Hindi commentary, the English ones are funny, too, in their own way. I've heard them say A LOT of times, "At this point India needs some wickets and [the opponent, batting] needs some runs." Such insightful comment! :-p

yeah, the worst part of it is maninder using the "achha khasa" phrase...it irritates to the point of muting the channel .....
