Funny Cricket Commentating

[RoonJazz]

I love this - it always makes me laugh. Wish Johnners was still with us. xx

[footyfan65]

great clip ,those that dont get it listen very carefully

[DarkAtHearts]

So i was watching this for the full 1min and 32 sec.. and couldnt hear the funny parts.

[RoonJazz]

@DarkAtHearts At the start - "he tried to step over the wicket but couldn't quite GET HIS LEG OVER".

[EADGBE1997]

Hehe I probably wouldn't have even noticed it

[nickedmonds575]

It's Aggers, not Angus.

[ilikemilkshake206]

The moment Jonners realizes what Aggers has said is amazing

[scurlaruntings]

The best sport in the world! Long live Test Cricket!

[pencilpauli]

Dear old Jonners

This clip is still wonderful after all these years! 

[Sticka5]

20 years ago today!!! Happy Birthday "leg over incident"

[jwolhuter]

1:00 - 1:05 must be the funniest thing I've ever heard in my entire existence! This is hilarious - I'm starting to slowly recover from the laughing fit!

[Operation115]

fuck i thought it was gonna be crickets commentating..

[anpusat]

I remember years and years ago, the commentary was 'the batsman's Holding, the Bowler's Willey'.

[abcol1]

I love this! I actaually remember listening to this live. Thanks so much for posting it.

[InfoNaut0]

Man I love baseball

[GlassPike]

It's not Angus! It's Aggers!

[mjhartlebury]

pure British smut :D

[eezy1972]

He said Aggers not Angus!

[Andyjzr]

Beautifully childish. Love it.

:)

[titchinjp]

I hope everyone heard the new blunder today about KP "putting a new rubber on".

[MrOregona230]

@titchinjp thats what brought me here.

[Shandybaws]

@titchinjp just heard it now. brilliant

[Ochotama]

Watched this in my A level English Language class today. Lesson well spent.

[Jeansey123]

It's aggers not angus

[eeewwwwwayne]

gowls...

[krw72]

This clip can make me cry. I think there is definitely enough British humour in here that might confuse a stereotypical North American (you have to know BBC culture in Britain), but it's also the time. There's so much subjectivity in film and such a crapload of reality tv, that many people won't recognise how funny it was when a commentator slipped out of professionalism.

Here's one for you all tho: Soccer is an English word (just like Aggers)

[beeforsam]

I've heard this so many times and it still makes me laugh hilarious

[barrycaterham]

Hey, just leave this these idiots like 'cobraman' out in the cold...this is STILL the best bit of radio commentary any time, anywhere by a group of old guys who LOVED their jobs, made us love their work and gave to all who would listen the most colourful and best entertainment that we have ever been able to hear. I doubt that these is anything to match this. Good 'old bbc' for funding TMS all these years.

[RattleheadUK]

I don't know what's funnier; this classic clip or the comments left by cobraman96. Particularly his spelling, grammar, sentence structure, content and ignorance of anything that didn't happen last week. In the USA. in his own living room. Somebody please put him on the radio, I would definitely tune in to hear 'Thick As Biscuits' on Radio 4.

We miss you Johnners, mate.

[iandear]

@piraterock87

Thanks dude :)

Need to remind those semi literate,walking heart attacks that they are not the be all and end all of everything!

[Adschi2010]

cobraman96. WHAT A CUNT.

[timnosuke]

Just reading Jonathon Agnew's book "Thanks, Johnners" and he mentions that you can hear Bill Frindall, who was "quietly enjoying a rare opportunity to get out of his chair, stretch his legs at the back of the commentary box and savour a cup of tea. He had just raised the cup to his lips when I made the fateful remark. Crash! (0:16) Bill slammed his cup down into the saucer in disbelief"..."Bill was pretty confident this would develop, and slipped back into his seat to Brian's right..." pp. 98.

[komacyde]

Johnners, one of the finest commentators ever to grace the airwaves.

[vibrio]

lol I watched this live

[komacyde]

@vibrio this is radio commentary...!

[newelly87]

lmao @ 1:10 he sounds like prince john in the disney cartoon movie robin hood

[dylan8176]

how can you not love him

[plumpton444]

priceless

[cbak12sg]

Apparently, producer Peter Baxter was very cross when this happened, and as Johnners left the Oval that day he was angry as his lack of professionalism. He quickly realised that he and fellow grown up schoolboy Aggers had inadvertently brought a smile to many faces.

They were only together one one more occasion, the following year. This time they collapsed into helpless giggles when they had the misfortune of reading a letter from William H TITT!

[HengistR]

@cbak12sg

I heard the Titt one! I was driving at the time, too. IIRC, the New Zealand commentator asked, "Are you sure his first name isn't Tom?" Haven't been able to find it anywhere. Is it on Youtube?

[robt135utube]

For those comfortable with test match special an eleven ton diamond of a gem.

[trailofdeadpeople]

who's angus?

[deaconredwhiteandblu]

1:07 - 1:12 is the best thing ever :D

[jasontobias1978]

@cobraman96

Unless I'm very much mistaken, are you not attempting to use the Queen's English in your terribly aggressive transcripts? Would you not agree therefore that at some point down the years, your "great" country has had rather a large influence from our "little" country which I would say makes you just another small part of the British empire, only a part us Brits or English are rather embarrassed about. Wouldn't you agree miss cobraman96?

[slashingraven]

I heard this joke disrupted traffic in Britain for a few minutes as commuters worked fits of laughter out of their system upon hearing this joke come over the radio. Was this true?

[StDigger]

@slashingraven - Yes,it's true. Drivers stopped their cars before entering the Dartford Tunnel so that they could listen to the end.

[WillyWallen]

Why on a funny cricket clip are people raging about who did what in WW2? Totally pathetic

[WillyWallen]

Why on a funny cricket clip are people raging about who did what in WW2? Totally pathetic

[fkos86]

Oh great, yet more comments ruining a great video. Unbelievable.

[Technolokron]

i can remember last year, i think brian johnston was saying that some guy who'd dropped a sitter must be 'abusing himself internally' and aggers,after a pause, just went 'mm'. it was HILARIOUS!

i also remember instances of talking about a lovely red fire engine that was driving past that ground and leaping for the ball like a mighty gazelle. cricket is the best

[saintcasper91]

@Technolokron That's pretty unlikely considering Brian Johnston died in 1994

[Technolokron]

@saintcasper91 yes well, it was someone else then wasn't it

[saintcasper91]

@Technolokron Ok, glad that's been cleared up.

[matrags]

Lawrence played extremely well lmao.

[TheFolkinrambler]

for all you cricket fans, sport fans and anyone who likes laughing bloody brill

[pwiattitto]

black and gus ;-)

[SydneyFCPete]

Cobraman, go back to popping steroids and playing baseball.

You ignorant Yanks wouldn't understand this great game if you tried.

[UKPatriotsFan]

Brian Johnstone RIP!

[KingslandKen]

Woke up , came downstairs, looked out of window... .. Damp and dismal....Listened to this and hey, the sun is shining. Great memories !

[colliourebee]

An excellent video, I was parked up listening to the cricket on the radio at Scrubs Fields in Shepherds Bush waiting for the wife to finish work when this was being broadcast, will never forget it.

Too clever for a septic like that childish dick cobraman to understand.

[colliourebee]

Oooh cobraman sounds like a hardnut. Mummy must be proud her son can't spell fags. Stupid Septic. At least they don't all have to wear little gloves to catch the ball like those girly Americans in rounders do. Oh, and before you slag off BP, remember all the polluting your country does to the world, BP have a long way to go to catch it up.

[bhpgray123]

@colliourebee prick !!!!

[colliourebee]

@bhpgray123 Very clever bhpgray. The way you build an arguement is far too clever for anyone to come back at. I just wish I was as intelligent and clever as you. Sigh.

[raisehighcarpenters]

Jog on cobraman.

[stormbreaker975]

Sorru about correcting u i didnt see where u said you knew it was aggers

TMS needs to find someone like johnners again.

[stormbreaker975]

Cobraman have u seen baseballers to they are fat enough to be truckers and look like they walked onto the field looking for a burger

[mynameiscal]

@cobraman96 you spelt "fags" wrong.

[UKPatriotsFan]

@cobraman96 Another American you can`t spell! LMAO

[iandear]

@cobraman96: what is a 'fagg'? Is it your failed attempt to spell a 7 letter word?! to be fair for most americans that is a pretty long word. Even longer when you are a 40stone shut-in, sat in your trailer washing yourself with a "rag on a stick" and bemoaning that you just cant seem to lose weight as you tuck into your 'bucket for one' meal. How's that aim?

And by the way, as already mentioned, the US did nothing to save britain from germany in the war; we did it with our airforce!

[piraterock87]

@iandear GREAT comment.

[cobraman96]

@stormbreaker975 Oh im so sorry,All you high class british faggs w/your crooked yellow teeth are better than americans,right? Your houses are boring and bland,your cars look faggy and you're all arrogant! Oh and most of your women are fat and ugly,and your weather sucks.Almost forgot bp, aka british petroleum is polluting the gulf of mexico as we speak!!!

[deadcatbounce1]

@cobraman96 OUR women are fat???? Coming from the land of the 40 stone human porker...

[venality1]

@cobraman96 cunt

[suckzinclee]

@venality1 Well said, sir! Gotta each 'em to play with a straight bat, what?!

[stormbreaker975]

Hilarious but isn't the commentator jonathan AGGERS agnew not ANGUS

[mynameiscal]

@stormbreaker975 yes. yes it is.

[dessie1472]

This is brilliant, very funny

[DWABoyden]

Cobraman your typicaly American disrespect for two of our national heroes just shows how pathetic you are and degrades your nation. I would also like to say your country has not produced anybody as funny as Brian Johnston!

[cobraman96]

@DWABoyden Funny? lmao Next thing you will tell me is that monty python is funny....lmfao The only person i ever found funny from your country is benny hill!

[HengistR]

@cobraman96 "The only person i ever found funny from your country is benny hill!" That says it all.

[SporeAndThings]

@cobraman96 I am going to give you a challenge. I want you to post with correct grammar, spelling and without swearing or abbreviating. I will be surprised if you can do it.

[Kevin107ish]

@SporeAndThings Here's a challenge - get a life, and stop masturbating 24/7.

[cobraman96]

@DWABoyden Those are your national heroes? wow lmfao You need to watch richard pryor or dave chappel sometime if think thats funny..

[DWABoyden]

@cobraman96 We have many national heroes that put your so called heroes from you pathetic excuse for a country to shame. If you dont' find it funny why do you keep on comenting. These two are ledgends and you should pay the late Johners more respect.

[DWABoyden]

@cobraman96 You find them funny you sad little man they are childish and pathetic they are tasteless and nobodies compared to the likes of Michael McIntyre and Billy Connolly, look at you, you can't even spell their names! Cobraman, is that an attempt to sound hard. Britain has produced many comedy greats that will always look down upon your witless fools.

[weetabixharry]

@cobraman96 This was actually voted "the greatest piece of sporting commentary ever" in a BBC poll. That may seem weird to you, but simply try to understand the cultural difference. The English sense of humour is quite obscure and it takes a bit of getting used to. I can assure you that sexuality is irrelevant in this respect.

[humananus]

whats so funny about this?

[dirtyfilthytart]

Too much cake.

[MPGification]

hahahahaha!! that was hilarious!! I cant stop either!!

[djdevil360]

I agree!

[Liam057]

I find it funny when people go off and rant and call people faggots when they've actually decided to call themself stuff like 'cobraman'.

[cobraman96]

@Liam057 Or liam. Cricket is a gay ass game just like that whole fucking country!What is your name, leslie?

[KellyTorn]

@cobraman96 ok wait.

1) American football. Rugby for wimps who need to wear a crash helmet and enough padding to protect them from a nuclear attack in case they get a bruise.

2) World War Two. The USA. Hid like cowards for almost two years, yelping "it's not our war" (some "allies" you chickens were). When you finally did join the fight you were so awful you killed more allies with friendly fire bullets than you did the enemy.

As the world says -

"The US Military. All the gear, no idea."

[cobraman96]

@KellyTorn Hey asshole,W/o us the germans would have killed you assholes! And what is funny about to gay sounding guys talking about a gay game?You do know most of world thinks your country is sooooo gay?Why don't you go shove a cricket up your(arse) lmao

[colliourebee]

@cobraman96 Oooh cobraman sounds like a hardnut. Mummy must be proud her son can't spell fags. Stupid Septic. At least they don't all have to wear little gloves to catch the ball like those girly Americans in rounders do. Oh, and before you slag off BP, remember all the polluting your country does to the world, BP have a long way to go to catch it up. For your information, USA only joined the war because Hitler declared war on you lot. None so ignorant as the septics.

[shakercoola]

@colliourebee NOT ONLY THAT, it was the American's who built the apparatus for the deep sea oil drilling! That's the funniest thing about it. That moron Obama enunciating British Petroleum so as to denigrate our fine nation. Unbelievable. 27 countries you have bombed since Vietnam. Twenty fucking seven!!!!

[Meekle72]

@cobraman96 I think you'll find we actually prevented the Germans from taking over our Isle in an event known as 'The Battle Of Britain'. Our AIr Force against the Luftwaffe, which we won without any help from the US, this subsequently prevented the Germans from gaining ground in Britain. Also how do you know what other countries think of us? Pretty sure you don't hold the intelligence to be a UN representative, and therefore, you know nothing. Btw Cricket is amazing, baseball is shite.

[drk2aps]

@cobraman96 tango whisky alpha twat!

[andymentalist]

@cobraman96 : I bet you feel quite embarrassed now , don't you.

[drk2aps]

@cobraman96 I imagine his name is Liam, prick!

[hassanpashto]

@cobraman96 motherfucker cricket is way better than fucking hitting ball with a thin stick

or humping each other in nfl prick

[cobraman96]

@Liam057 Yeah,Liam is such a macho name....lmfao

[Pinnertop]

This is what life's all about - humour.

[cobraman96]

You silly wankers think this is funny?Wtf is wrong w/you brits?

[bhpgray123]

Its called having a sense of humour!!!

You yanks should try it.

[cobraman96]

You should yank me off you british fagg!

[cobraman96]

Thank god for the boston tea party!

[cobraman96]

Go play some cricket you homo!

[djdevil360]

Oh dear someone needs to grow up cobraman96!

[cobraman96]

You pussy,You could'nt kick my grandmas ass.And you misspelled mouthy stupid.Terrorist wanna kill you british faggots...Last time i checked!

[KellyTorn]

@cobraman96 I don't mean to be rude here but why is it ALWAYS an American that starts mouthing off and ruining funny videos? If you don't like it, go watch re-runs of President Bush's speeches.

[cobraman96]

@KellyTorn Hey asshole,I see comments from canadians and people from the united cuntdom talking crap about our system.And you just made some offhanded comment about bush which ensures me that you're a liberal prick!

[drk2aps]

@cobraman96 and that your are a poorly educated knob!

[jimbostratus]

@cobraman96 i am SO glad that i'm not american

[mewpsypokes]

@KellyTorn Because, many of us americans are assholes. Believe it or not, even I can be an asshole at times. Amazing, right?

[gasperagacy]

@mewpsypokes for the first time heard an American speaking the truth. bloody hell i must check from which part the sun came out or maybe i am in heaven.

[fishtank901]

@cobraman96

you're blatantly another stupid american, completely ignorant to anything outside the borders of your country.

had you ever been to britain, you might have some respect or understanding for its culture. had you a sense of humour, you might find this funny and not try to relate it to homosexuality (which in britain, we are open to, as we're not all homophobic retards).

and if you such an attention seeking bell-end, you would've commented on this video slagging off the british nation

[drk2aps]

@cobraman96 Oh it must just be our thousands of years of history and culture compared to oh... hang on... oh yeah nothing!

[ticklehunter]

That was awesome! It made my day. Cheers!

[mynameiscal]

@ticklehunter you're welcome! and thanks for not mentioning the whole Aggers thing :P

[smezian]

Tms is just not the same without Bearders and Johners . .

[thisiswho2]

Aggers, for goodness sake, stop it!

LOL

[bluebellnutter]

If you listen carefully, you can hear some china crashing in the background when Aggers mentions not getting his leg over, according to legend that was Bill "Bearders" Frindall (RIP) dropping his cup of tea in astonishment!

[cobraman96]

If you listen carefully you can hear me snoring thru this boring unfunny shit!

[bluebellnutter]

@cobraman96

Oh that's what the noise was, I was wondering who was making the moronic bleating noise. Thanks for clearing that up, I was thinking it might be someone intelligent and whose life isn't pointless.

[cobraman96]

No,Your whole country and your gay lil games are pointless!

[bluebellnutter]

@cobraman96

But at least we don't make up our own games (usually based on games played by girls over here like touch rugby, rounders, hockey and netball then claim to be the best in the world at them because everyone else chooses to play proper sports.

[tishtosh]

@cobraman96

Someone needs a bit of love!

And I mean a little bit of real love, not that way your daddy says he loves you when he crawls into bed with you.

[cobraman96]

Keep your gay thoughts to yourself.

[djdevil360]

I think someone needs to grow some pubes. And are you really 45 you act about 10!

[cobraman96]

Oh dear...wtf? Are you gay or is that way you idoit talk?

[cigaro81]

@cobraman96 : Oh dear, you don't get the joke. Or the idea of corpsing. Maybe you should examine the idea of corpsing literally?

[DWABoyden]

@bluebellnutter

I belive it was a stopwatch.

[Buddrow01]

brilliant i remember listening to it live and crying with laughter and i still crack up now. Good old Johners.

[hellolissa93]

best piece of commentating ever!

lol i laugh everytime

[rotwart]

The whole angus thing ruins it a bit to be honest. I mean whats the point of even having the text in the first place but then to get it so completely wrong is a bit dumb.

[audiomalone]

True for me - I was driving at the time and had to pull over and wait until I'd calmed down.

[monroetsd]

I'm American. Never had a leg over. What IS a leg over?

[bullman44]

Leg over is an english slang word which means having sex which i believe is called hooking up in your country?

[Everest06]

Virgin!

[brokenheartedpleb]

I love TMS

[jazzyjonnyuk]

The best thing ever broadcast on any media.

[MrMonsterPie]

I love the way he tries to carry on... 'he hit a four over the wicket keepers head'... whilst fighting back the laughter. A true professional!

[thelucy53]

Absolutley priceless!! We love you Brian!

[slytherinsheirx]

Brilliant!

[kanani01c]

just letting you know it's aggers not angus...

[ceva011]

btw. it's aggers, not angus.

[mynameiscal]

please see description.

[ceva011]

i did. i was winding you up.

[mynameiscal]

oh.... bloody cricket fans!

[InturnetHaetMachine]

I love TMS commentary. Michael Hunt is Lord's groundsman, he goes by Mick hunt instead of usual Mike Hunt for obvious reasons. One of the commentator (can't remember whom) said Mike Hunt and you could just hear him realizing what he said and holding the giggle back.

[mojohaza1]

nice spelling

[mynameiscal]

teehee.

[Jdeadevil]

"Do stop it" Lmao

[hazsa19]

it's Aggers!!!

[mynameiscal]

thanks for pointing that out... if I could change it I would!

[EchetusXe]

haha, his poshness makes it even funnier.

[kisbie]

It's Aggers [Jonathan Agnew], not Angus!

[duxberry1958]

some years ago ted Dexter did a test match hi / lights on TV of course and he was totaly pissed

[goulby]

never did hear this live bit my dad told me he was driving at the time and had to pull over cause he cudnt stop laughing lol classic

[MROTHWELL94]

yeah apparently everyone on the motorways stopped driving coz they were laughing so hard

[fantamax29]

Classic!

[duxberry1958]

or the one when ted lowe snooker commentater , said for does who have a black and white TV the brown ball is behind the black ball , or something like that

[Rennedy22]

Kinda funny but their extremely posh voices are very annoying.

[duxberry1958]

or on a Q/ of sport when someone gave a asnser --- warne king...

[duxberry1958]

and the other one l always get this one wrong ,,, Lillee caught Willy bowled Dilly ,,, or something like that...
