5 of the best punchlines in cricket commentary history

#2 ‘It’s all happening here’ - Bill Lawry

The former Australian captain was a fixture on Channel 9 for around four decades since his retirement in 1971 and he was particularly famous for his boisterous nature of commentary that became a big hit with cricket fans not only in Australia but all over the world.

In spite of the fact that he was an extremely intelligent commentator and explained the different nuances of the game perfectly when required, it was some of his stock phrases that remain a part of cricketing parlance to this day.

During an exciting or see-sawing period in a cricket match, one of his stock punchlines was ‘it’s all happening here’ and that remains his most memorable one. However, he was also famous for ‘got him’ at the fall of a wicket or ‘bang’ if a batsman got clean bowled.
