I LOVE CRICINFO COMMENTARY...HERE ARE SOME HILARIOUS EXCERPTS FROM THE INDIA ENGLAND TEST MATCH....
"Mishra to Strauss, OUT, the wicket has arrived. India look on in disbelief and then relief. Mishra actually appeals, even though the batsman is bowled. That's how unlikely a wicket has looked"
-When Mishra finally got strauss out (off a no ball that wsnt called)
"Sharma to Bell, FOUR, 130.1 kph, someone needs to give the Indian team a screening of the movie 'The Third Man'. It's a good movie, and it is an equally good fielding position"
-When Ian Bell was toying with the Indian Bowling
"Ishant makes a hilarious fielding effort at mid-off, if you can call it that. It almost seemed inevitable that he wouldn't get there. Alan Wilkins says he dived 'in installments'. Full from Mishra, lovely wristy extra-cover drive through wide mid-off. Ishant moves away like a giraffe and falls like one too. The ball beats him easy"
-When Ishant Sharma made a "diving" stop attempt
"Anthony, flag-bearer of the spirit of cricket from England's side: "In the interests of fairness and as we really owe MS Dhoni one, should we declare now?" The answer from the Indian camp in one word would be: "MOST DEFINITELY!""
-During the day
"What a waste of time - getting Bell out, then calling him back, then addressing media in the evening stating reason. Better, drop the catch!"
-When Dravid Dropped Ian bell in slips!
"ENOUGH ! Please stop this insipid play. Give the Indians their IPL jerseys now, let SRK give inspiring speech, let Mallya pour in some beer and let Ambani announce a trillion $ for each player if they get English out in the next Half hour !"
-When the spectators actually lost it on the Indian teams indifferent show
"What do you call 11 people watching fireworks? A. The Indian Cricket Team"
-As the play approached teatime
