WAQAR YOUNIS COMMENTARY
Waqar Younis was my childhood hero and the reason why I became interested in cricket. He remains my favourite cricketer of all time. This page is not an attempt to mock him or insult him, but to share his funny commentary with visitors.
We hope you will enjoy reading Waqar’s gems……….
1) Waqar when praising Dhoni’s calm demeanour: “Dhoni has got a beautiful head on his shoulders…..”
2) When praising Sehwag’s attacking batting: The Virender Sehwag is really on the rampage tonight.
3) When praising some bowler for field placing: “Oh…..he is a smart bowler! He has got A Protection there.
4) When Aamir Sohail praised Ishant Sharma saying, “Waqar, I think the reason that Ashant is getting all that extra bounce is that he is a big lanky lad”……….this is what Waqqa had to say………. “Another reason could be that he’s also very tall……………..”
5) When praising Salman Butt, “All Salman did was just put bat on ball and timing was perfect. Beautiful play…….”
6) “Trescothick makes a room outside off stump”
7) “definately a nick there, i heard it in my ear”
8. “Danish gave an extra air to the ball”
9) Jayasuria likes to have a room, but Najaf not giving him a room
10) “Thats 200 wickets for danish kaneria. Hez the 6th Pakistani fast bowler to acheive this”
11) ‘What a catch…thats an absolutely catch’
12) “Went on the backfoot and found a beautiful gap between cover and point”
13) When the commentator Greg Blewett said, “That’s an ordinary effort by Razzaq” (when Razzaq misfielded) this is what Waqqa had to say, “…………..oo that’s worse than ordinary, that’s…………..ordinary effort
14) ‘And a Pakistan is 181 for.. all out.
15) “Beautifully Shot”
A boy in the crowd with an “I love you” banner for Shahid Afridi:
Dean Jones: “Now that´s bit gayish, isn´t it?”
Waqar Younis: “Not really Deano, there are lot of them in Pakistan.”
“Thats a Shahid Afridi…Khan”
“Bathing used to be a must in our days after the match……. We used to stink like as if on a hell”
“Virender Taibu is….a…. good batsman.”
“I remember he is a very good all-rounder. He once he took five wickets and made two runs.”
“Test match cricket is a all about playing a lot of cricket !”
Waqar Younis on Saeed Ajmals doosra..
“we haven’t really seen Umar Gul yet bowling the doosra”
(On Robin Uthappa)
“This Robin, he is a good Batman“.
Waqar about why IPL is in India:
“The idea is to have a cricket in India”
“That was a definitely Kamran Akmal down the wicket”
khansahab
You are forgetting a few….. I can add a couple more here.
1. Mohammad Jayasuriya
2. This Dilshan, his bowling is not good and his batting is also not good. But, the only reason he is a KEEP in the team is because of his fielding.
LOL @ Murali bajana
Muttaih is now feeling his age. He has announced that he may not even play the 2011 WC. I guess if he gets bashed by Sehwag a few more times he will immediately announce his retirement from ALL forms of game. He took 5 wickets for 396 runs which is so unlike the Javelin Thrower.
I want Mendis to get the same treatment from Sehwag and Yuvraj, the Sri Lankans have praised and protected Mendis so much that they want to make him another god. Whenever he gets bashed Sangakara and Jayawerdene takes him off. Also, in some of the round matches they don’t play Mendis by saying we don’t want to expose him (to the Sun, kaheen aur kala na ho jai) and wants to preserve him for big games!
Waqar was asked how his lunch was and this was his reply,
“Yeah it was a brilliant“.
khansahab
He loves to add “A” in front of everything
I dunno if you have noticed Ramiz Raja, he has a very peculiar way of pronouncing anything starting with “A” for e.g., if you ask him to say “Alice” he would say Aye-Liss.
Sri Lanka’s new commentator and ex-cricketer Russel Arnold says “Defi – Neat – ly”
1) “Danish Vettori”
2) “I tell you………you seen a mud bowls of Sharjah few years ago…..buttaaaa……….this pitch has a grass on it!!!”
3) “I lived in UAE for 2 years but I never seen a rain………..”
Commentator asks Waqar if Waqar had fish for lunch and how he liked it, this is Waqar’s reply:
“Yeah it was beautiful, literally beautiful……………”
khansahab
he must have been telling about the fish before it was cooked.
Ps
Since you are here, and I am sure you must have read Shoaib’s request, so please do the honours of writing a thread on Sehwag. Who is in the making of a LEGEND.
Waqar Younis is destroying his cricketing reputation by commentating. He was a great bowler, one of the finest of all time but now his pathetic commentary and regular “slip of tongue” is embarrassing. Get him of the mike and just let him be bowling coach. Even Maulvi Mushy is better then him in terms of fluency although he has some regular obsession with “body language”.
“The lunch was vey yummy and a Umar Akmal play a very yummy shot”
Maza
I am disagree with Maulvi Mushy being a better commentator than Waqar. You obviously don’t know what you are talking about. Will you be any better in the commentary box if you were in Waqar’s position?
You really think so?
What makes u think I am comparing myself to Waqar? Waqar is a professional in the field of broadcasting and therefore has no right to comment in the stupid manner he does. He should be sacked. I’m surprised it hasn’t come yet.
“I think what Pakistan is trying to do is injure Ian O Brien finger because they would love him not to bowl in the second innings. WTF is he blabbing about ?”
Mohammed Yousuf has played an ankle role here
” A danish is geetting A quite alot of A spin “
botham: so waqar u think the fine leg should be placed here do you?
waqar: : that is a true
LOL
The batsman drives the ball, it goes PAST the bowler.
Waqar: “Yah…that went a THROUGH THE BOWLER’S LEGS!!”
A Waqar is a good commentator and we will miss a commentary when his is a bowling coach and a fielding coach.
very funny comments, great collection, such frequent use of ‘a’ reminds me of President Zia ul Haq’s ”and-aaaaaaaAAaa”
Pieterson hits a 50 and Waqar says
“This is not the first time he has taken THE England out of trouble”.
On the NZ tour when a fielder produced a direct hit and run out a batsmet. Waqar said: “He had one aim to stump at”
Did I just say Batsmet :S Im even worse than Waqar
Talha
Welcome to LS. LOL I remember reading about that “one aim to stump at”.
Waqar has made so many bloopers, I should have recorded all of them since he started saying them. I find “Jayasuria wants a room” and “”I never seen a rain” the funniest.
Thanks for welcoming me.
are you really 70?
.
BTW you come off as a 70 year old guy to me because of your Avatar
Now Waqar is the coach and we may not see him commentating for a long time now. Sad
Most fun commentator ever?
Talha
khansahab’s age is like Elephant’s teeth. “Haathi kay daant, khaanay kay aur, dikhaway kay aur.” Don’t go by his looks, he is aging fast
His physical age is measured in dog years and his mental age can be measured in crow years.
Yeah, “I am agree” that, Waqar is the most funniest commentator ever. For me, the best one is when he commented about Dilshan a few years ago i.e., when Dilshan was not an opening batsman and he used to play as number 6, or 7. Waqar said: “This man, Dilshan is not a good bowler nor a good batman, the only reason he is a keep in the team is because of his fielding.” And, of course on Robin Uthappa, he said:
“This Robin is a good Batman.”
Btw, you may comment on the current thread too.
LOL I’ve just read somewhere, a few years ago Danish Kaneria almost got a hat trick against England, this is what Waqar said:
“Thats out!!…………..that’s hattrick……I tell you…..!”"
LOL, it’s really funny if you imagine him saying that in his accent.
