Hindi Commentary...

Hindi commentary sucks..

I was watching the India-Sri Lanka match today on DD. Hence got another opportunity to listen to the 'unbearable' hindi commentary. I was so pissed off with it, I thought I should put up a post on the jargon they speak..Well, it isn't exactly jargon, but so highly irritating as they just kinda narrate whats happening. I compiled a few of 'em, and I have translated it into english, which has made it even funnier. Imagining the Hindi version might be necessary for a few..

1) 'Murali's deliveries are coming in and going out'..
He meant the normal offspin and the doosra... But are we viewers blind..? Can't we see it..?

2) Senseless idiots, usually shout at the top of their voice..
' And Gambhir lofts it straight towards Mid wicket with great force(70 Db)......and...... one bounce to the fielder(30 Db)..' And this happens hajjar times..

3) An extension of the previous..
' And Gambhir has hit the ball straight towards square leg, its going to the boundary(70 Db), but...the fielder is there(30 Db)..'

3) This was the one I couldn't believe..Man..! How can they speak rubbish..??
'If everything goes well, India plays well'..

4) ' Oh..a beauuuutifuuuul outswinger from Zoysa, BUT Dravid misses it marginally..'
Again, can't we see..?? And what does he mean by ' Beautiful outswinger BUT Dravid...'

5) When they turn the camera towards Attapattu for a few seconds, show him thinking..
' Attapattu seems to be in deep thought, wondering what to do..'
Oh..ya..thanx.. I thought he was day dreaming..

6) Some ridiculously obvious statements, over and over again..
' India should try and get some wickets' or
' Sri Lanka should try to score some runs now '
What else are the players out for..Chick Hunting..??

7) The standard Hindi dialogue which can make a new born baby wake up from deep sleep..
' And..its an over pitched ball, Dravid takes it close to his body, uses his wrist, turns it towards deep mid wicket, and the ball is going towards the deep mid wicket boundary..and its 4 runs'..(Linearly increases from 25 to 80 Db). I know, the fun here is half lost because its put in English..

8) ' Dravid wanted to hit the ball towards deep square leg, but took the top edge and went to mid off..'
Oooh.. I didn't know that. I thought he did some magic and got the ball to mid off when his bat was towards square leg..

9) One more ridiculous statement
' Sehwag's confidence is showing right from within himself..'
Oh..my sweet ass..Will I show everybody Sehwag's confidence..?

And some N others.. but i had lost patience to even listen to them.. These fellows seriously need some training..Oh ya..i forgot the last bit..

10) After Sri Lanka won the match...
' Sri lanka have won the match. They must be happy.'
