The Witty Side Of Cricket.

Just Can't Stop Myself From Writing About Cricket After Putting Down The Seventh Consecutive Book About Cricket To Rest. Here Below Are Some Of The Most Memorable Quotes.


1. Richie Benaud.


Richie Benaud ( The Most Celebrated Australian Leg Spinner And Charismatic Commentator ). The Introduction is Purely Unnecessary Because There Wouldn't Be a Cricket Loving Soul Ignorant Of The Name ( Deekshith kasyap? ).

Boycot and Benaud Were Discussing About The Future Of Test Cricket In an Era Dominated by The Twenty Over Game. Boycott Expressing His Deep Regret Over The Possible Extinction Of the Long Form Of Game Indicated That Cricketing Fans All Over Who Have been Overdosed With Twenty Over Format May Gain Interest In the Long Form By Cutting Down The Customary Five Days Into Four. He Also Pointed Out That Many Test Matches Even Those Played In The Ashes Are Turning Out To Be an Extreme Bore To Watch. Richie Benaud All The While Listening With Rapt Attention Turned To The Camera and Spoke These Memorable Word's " WHO MADE THEM BORING GEOFFY? ".


For Those Of You Who Haven't Got a Clue About Boycott's Cricketing Days. Here's a Small Portrayal. Boycott Also Known As The Most Selfish And Boring Englishman To Have Ever Played Cricket Once Opened The Innings For England In a Test Match Against West Indies And Went On To Play The Five Day Duration Of The Test And Thus Becoming The Only Batsman To Have Played All Through The Duration Of a Test Match. There's Nothing More Valuable To Boycott Than His Wicket. " He Used To Guard His Wicket As Though His Entire Life Depended On It " Spoken By an Old Surrey Team Mate Of Boycott.
