5 commentators with quotes that made no sense

4) Shoaib Akhtar

Shoaib Akhtar is widely regarded as the fastest bowler of all time

Shoaib Akhtar is a former Pakistani cricketer who is nicknamed as “Rawalpindi-Express”. He is widely regarded as the fastest bowler of all time for bowling at speeds up to 161.3 km/h. After his retirement from cricket, he took up a job by becoming a commentator.

Akhtar can be compared to Sidhu when it comes to irrational statements and one such example of that is, ”Upar lagi, niche lagti toh alag masla hota,” which if translated would mean that if it (ball) touched below the point, it would have caused a major problem.

While sitting in a commentary booth with the former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid, Akhtar said that it was very difficult for Pakistan to win and now all the hope lies with Afridi (Pakistan ke liye jeetna ab kaafi mushkil, sari ummeedein ab sirf Afridi pe tiki hai!).

Everyone knows the hit and miss nature of Shahid Afridi’s play and Rahul Dravid was not going to let this go by stating that the condition seems to be extremely poor since the hopes lie with Afridi (yeh toh bahut hi buri haalat hai agar ummeedein Afridi pe tiki hai!)
