'What a corker' Henry Longhurst after Tony Jacklin boomed one down the 18th at Lytham on the way to winning the Open in 1969.

'Don't even bother looking for that, let alone chasing it. It's gone straight into the confectionary stall and out again.

The great Richie Benaud, after Ian Botham smashed another six against the Aussie's in 1981.


I also liked John Arlott describing the naked man that ran on the pitch and jumped over the wicket. 'We have got a freaker ! We have got a freaker down the wicket now. Not very shapely and it's masculine and I would think it's seen the last of its cricket for the day'

one that always made me grin was a howler from David Coleman whilst commentating on an 800 mtr olymic mens race .
a cuban named juantarina was favourite and as the race progressed to the final 300 mtr mark juantarina sped away from the rest of the field ,prompting Coleman to say ,"juantarina just opened his legs and showed his class"
ps the spelling of juantarina might well be miles away from being right.

In a similar vein, there was the Brian Johnson crickeing quote , but I forget about whom, of - "XXX is standing in the slips, legs apart, waiting for a tickle...."

And its a great shame that the legendary "The bowler's Holding. The batsman's Willey." is only an urban myth
