The stuff he says is so hilarious, that I jot down my most favorite lines, everytime I watch this show or hear him commenting on a live cricket match...As in... they aren't JOKES or anything... it's just his way of parting wisdom and commenting on something/anything is funny..So here's a collection of all the "quotes" that I've managed to collect and a few others I got after googling his name...Read ALL of them... you won't be sorry!!
"The world is all about mind and matter; I don't mind and you don't matter."
{ When Farooque Sheikh, host of the talk show Jeena isi ka naam hai asked him what he thinks of those who criticize his style of commentary }
A good lather is half the shave.
He's shredded than into smithereens
{On Rahul Dravid hitting a boundary, India v England, 2002}
All that comes from a cow is not milk.
As innocent as freshly laid eggs.
He flew like a bird and plucked it out of thin air.
{On Indian fielder Sadagopan Ramesh's diving catch against Sri Lanka}
Beauty even when silent is eloquent.
He is like Indian three-wheeler which will suck a lot of diesel but cannot go beyond 30!
{On Sri Lankan batsman Romesh Kaluwitharna who was wasting balls without making runs}
Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two.
Its very difficult to kill a man who is hell bent upon committing suicide!
My idea of a bird is 36-24-36.
The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason.
New Zealanders are like bicycles in a cycle stand - one falls down and the complete row will be down!
{ In India's last match against New Zealand}
Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taxi meter.
Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide.
There is light at the end of the tunnel for India, but it's that of an oncoming train which will run them over.
That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it !!
{When Saurav Ganguly took a catch that had gone very high in the air}
The ball whizzes past like a bumble bee and the Indians are in the sea.
The gap between bat and pad is so much that I would have driven a car through it... !!
The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a haystack.
You can't play a symphony alone, it takes an orchestra to play it.
{ For it is the team work that matters my friend...}
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!
{To Martin Crowe}
A fallen lighthouse is more dangerous than a reef.
When you are dining with the demon you've got to have a long spoon!
You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants.
Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!
{In the midst of a verbal duel with Martin Crowe}
Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.
Even a cock crows over his own dunghill.
Beware of the naked man who offers you his shirt.
As uncomfortable as a bum on a porcupine. (oww oww owwwwwww!!!)
Merry christmas guys!! 'wishing you loads and loads of happiness and love...
hehehe..real good stuff!!
nice....real nice
Thaas Kewl.
that sidhus so funnsy!
Koze
so changed back the template eh?...that sidhu guy i feel sometimes goes overboard with his -isms.
but i distinctly remember one of his lines- "...looks like he's allergic to leather" (on dropping catches..deep dasgupta i think).
@born stinger: thanks for the advice.. i'll keep it it mind.
@navneet: seemed silly to keep santa on the page AFTER christmas.. im working on a new temp though.
amelie, sis, koze, d'pak..Thanks for visiting guys!
Fascinating... I enjoyed reading it
This post was a genius!
Wa! I really don't know I enjoyed it, the guy is bloody imaginative. Sorry, I don't watch cricket. I have heard this guy freaks. Ok, some of his sound as drunk as a saturday night birthday boy (sheesh its wearing off on me).
But I do accept, its not what people may want in the heat of a cricket match knowing if a Kiwi could fly or not. By the time they get into the depth of his commentary and understand the sinical remark. Another wicket may have popped. It's probably not what someone who is going slow in the head and just droning on cricket would want to have.

PS: I am not his fan! Just appriciating talents when I see em. The guy could actually try writing the "Hitchhikers guide to the Cricket Craze".
@ashwim: that was the point.. lol.. im glad you enjoyed it.
@felix: Na.. its fun to hear him for those of us who can understand what he's trying to convey before another wickets dropped... the others just have fun looking at him all animated. Being a punjabi helps... lol.. i can't believe im saying that, being one myself!!
thanks guys!! because.. smile today!! tm's gnna be worse!
hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,,,, great one... u forgot me favourite one..
" if if's and an's were pots and pans' then my friend there would be no tinkers.. " LOL.. SIDDHUSISM ROX!!
