Well, slightly off pronnounciation is nothing to worry about, pro commentators (even richie) pronnounce names wrong all the time.

 

[MattW]

Seeing how a lot of the names of people in the forums who want their names in the game have posted already, It seems like a good time for people to start posting lines for the commentators to say.
A few to start people off:
'He's what I call a good all rounder, he plays all around the ball and it goes on to hit the stumps'
'He's usually a good hooker, but couldn't quite get it up that time' (Richie said this one)
'That six has cleared the car park'
'He's got a hold of that one, but so does the fielder at [position goes here]'
'That's a good example of how to take a catch, but unfortuantly for the bowling team, a member of the crowd was the one taking it'

 

[Brett_Lee]

"A man back in Row S has taken that catch"
"WOW He's Smashed that so hard its gone out the stadium and hit a driving car's windscreen"
"Oh this is VERY close we have to go to the 3rd Umpire"
"Chance if he hits" (You always here commontators say that)
"Struck in front, Keepers appealing but is about the only one"
"Struck in front, All fielders appealing, and Got him!"
"Wow this is a very high shot its cleared the hight of the stadium theres a man under it and Gone, What a catch"
"There's a hundred dollars for a lucky fan taking a catch down in the third row!"

"going going going, GONE" i dont know who says it but its usually said when afridi launches one.

 

[duffarama]

This is the best ever call I have ever heard in my life.
Bill Larwy when Steve Waugh gets a century: "He's gone for it... there it is!"
Simply awesome.

 

[Dhoni]

"going going going, GONE" i dont know who says it but its usually said when afridi launches one.

It's Dean Jones.

 

[RabbleRouser]

Here's a few-
"Oh! Thats a little ripper by [bowlers name]"
"He comes down the pitch and smacks it for fo... wait he's out! Played all around it!"
"In this over he's swung it in, out, in, out and he's shaken the stumps all about!"

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Oh, thats a poor ball, he charges down the wicket, swings, and all the way to the stands fo(r)..hold one! He's missed it! Stumped by miles, wonderful bowling!

 

[blackleopard92]

well, Commentary needs small witty sentences.I would never hear that sentence to full in the game.

 

[manee]

Please tell me if this is too controversial but...

"Hes looking about as comfertable out there as America in the Iraq War"

Heres some more.

"Thats a rip snorter," (Good delivery)

"Judging by that decision, I think the umpire is deaf, dumb and plain stupid"

Another controversial one...

"[Team] has about as much chance of success as Ea creating a good cricket game" :cool:

"Yorker, Majorka"

"Gone, Cya, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehn, Sat Sri Kal...etc..."

 

[Propmanoz]

I'll give those ones a go in the next day or so if i can, some are pretty good i reckon

 

[manee]

Heres another original commentating phrase.

"Maybe Courtney Walsh can give this guy some batting lessons"

"going going going, GONE" i dont know who says it but its usually said when afridi launches one.

Or a variation on that...

"Going, going...this match is brought to you by united national bank...GONE...six runs

 

[embi]

"Maybe Courtney Walsh can give this guy some batting lessons"

Shouldn't it be Glenn McGrath? Hes just more recent.

 

[manee]

But Glenn Mcgrath can bat a bit courtney Walsh is clueless
