Good commentary thread

[Gary 111]

Lets start with a few from the master, John Arlott...

"So Tuffy Mann of England has bowled George Mann of South Africa. Another case of Mann's inhumanity to Mann"

"Asif Masood approaches the wicket like Groucho Marx chasing a pretty waitress"

"Funny name Cunis, neither one thing or the other..."

[JKLever]

Taken from the other thread...

Bill Lawry

"There's black guys running all over the place..."

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Anytime the Australians suffer from poor luck and Boycott's commentating. He loves it.

[JKLever]

Geoffrey Boycott & Michael Slater

"OUT!! Oh... No Ball!! Bad luck! Oh bad luck you Aussies!"

Settle down there Boycs

[Lara Lara Laughs]

That was Vaughany's 166 no-ball.

[JKLever]

Aye, one of the lasting memories of Ashes 2005 will be Sir Geoffrey giggling like a schoolgirl whenever an Aussie fecked up.

[JGK]

"There's Harvey at leg slip, arms akimbo, legs akimbo, waiting for a tickle"

Jon Arlott I think.

[Winkle Spinner]

David Lloyd on girls.

[Basil]

Another two from Arlott:

"And that's lunch - there will be more activity with knife and fork in the next 40 minutes, than there has been with bat and ball in the last two and a half hours."

"Here come the two batsmen - Alan Knott and Dennis Amiss. Knott in a cap and Amiss not"

[JGK]

Anytime Arun Lal and Bill Lawry keep their trap shut.

[Hass]

"There's Harvey at leg slip, arms akimbo, legs akimbo, waiting for a tickle"

Jon Arlott I think.

That was Brian Johnston.

Well found. I know exactly where I was when I heard that ... and got a text from my brother 2 seconds later, saying something like 'stick that up you, Hohns'.

Nout wrong with some good ol' genuine Pom v Aus hatred. Should be more of it in the combox. Get Beefy and Crapelli together.

Australian Cricketing Gold, lardy. I'll tell my grandkids about that day and moment.
