SIDHUISMS!!!!!!!




ever heard Navjot Singh Sidhu commentating? if not then u've missed something big!!! the similising technique he uses while commentating has become so famous in the world that they are now called SIDHUISMS!!!
Full of similes, power packed voice and a strong punching usage of English will blow u away....
Thats why sidhuisms are "as famous as a dharwad pedha"(haha...that was a harsha-ism!!!)...and they come out "as quick as a bullet from an ak-56"(ahem!!! another harsha-ism!!!).....
so i dedicate this blog to NAVJOT SINGH SIDHU.........
HAIL SIDHU-HAIL SIDHUISMS!!!!!!


(please forgive me if there are repititions.....i've typed some and the rest are from the net)

here are the few of my favourites ............

I'm as confused as a baby in a topless bar!!!

It's like one legged person participating in a bum-kicking competition!!!



Runs are flowing like the fare in Indian taxi.

Bamboozles and mesmerizes.

Its very difficult to kill a man who is hell bent upon committing suicide!

As innocent as freshly laid egg.

Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taxi meter.

Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide.

There, there, that's a dead duck!

Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!

All that comes from a cow is not milk.

If ifs and buts were pots and pans, there would be no tinkers!

When Ganguly took a catch that had gone very high in the air:
That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it!

The ball whizzes past like a bumble bee and the Indians are in the sea.

The gap between bat and pad is so much that I would have driven a car
through it... !


******Some more sidhuisms(courtesy: internet)*******



Bengal without Tigers!

He's in a soup!



Commenting on Sri Lankans as demons on the slow and sluggish pitches:
When you are dining with the demon you've got to have a long spoon!


Don't open your old umbrella and run it over your shoulder.

Beauty even when silent is eloquent.

The
Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a haystack.

Yuvraj Singh - The pied piper of Punjab!

Harbhajan - The sardar from Jalandhar !

On S.Ramesh's diving catch in 1st innings of 2nd test vs. Sri Lanka:
He flew like a bird and plucked it out of thin air.


He pierced it through an eye of a needle.

As crisp as a cracker.

New Zealanders have their limits, The kiwis are the birds that cannot fly!

About Chris Harris he said:
He is a dibbly dobbly bowler.

My idea of a bird is 36-24-36.



When he fielded well as a substitute for Sachin Tendulkar in the 1 dayers:
Ajit Agarkar is as fresh as a daisy.

When a loud appeal was rejected:
Big outcry, no outcome!





The Indians are jelling together as a cohesive unit.

The pitch is as dead as a dodo.

Dravid has hit this shot as straight as a candle.

FAVOURITE SIDHUISMS :
In the midst of a verbal duel with Martin Crowe:


Commenting on Ganguly after he was out for a low score in the 2nd
Test against Zimbabwe:
...Looks like a brooding hen over a china egg

In the midst of a verbal duel with Tony Greig:



In India's last match against New Zealand:
New Zealanders are like bicycles in a cycle stand - one falls down and
the complete row will be down!

THE ALSO - RANS SIDHUISMS
Taking the cake with a red cherry on top.
For Sri Lankan batsman Kaluwitharna, when he was wasting many balls:
He is like Indian three-wheeler which will suck a lot of diesel but cannot
go beyond 30!

To Martin Crowe:
The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend,
that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world which does not have wings!

As cool as a cucumber!

Muralitharan bowling to the last Indian pair:
The wily fox is back. Its an ill omen when a fox licks its lambs.

Applauding Reetinder Singh Sodhi's fighting spirit:
Young Ricky will fight a rattlesnake and give him the first two bites!
