The memories of the Sardar slashing the bowlers by stepping outside the track are not forgotten because one dosen’t miss that batting much because he speaks like he used to bat.If anyone takes an opinion poll on Sidhu’s commentating then there would be no scope for no comment as the graph would be divided between his liker’s and dislikers
He has a capacity of 100PPM’s(Phrases per minute) and the imaginative phrases are hard to miss.He sound like a tuition teacher who trying to put wisdom in his dumb ward.his words are enthusiastic and the sentences always don’t have a meaning.Sidhuspeak is a different ball game all together.
For e.g. we look at some of his phrases.A bowler dosen’t get out a batsman but he ’’gobbles the batsman like a sausage’’.A fast bowler on a slow pitch is not ineffective but he is ’’rendered impotent’’act of a batsman beaten by a good delivery to Sidhu means to be ’’bamboozed’’ or ’’mesmerized’’.If anyone hits a huge six he says ’’thats gone to meet the air hostess’’
Besides hopping over the thin line of humour to buffonery Sidhu ocassionallygets philosophical too.Wonder what makes this Punjab man do such a no-holds-barred definition of the game.If anyone critices him he must adopt the punchline ’’we are like this only’’.Whatever may be the reason
