When it comes to cricket commentary, Harsha Bhogle stands out. Whereas other commentators are
ex-cricketers who have made the move from the pitch to the commentary booth, Bhogle is an
outsider. While other commentators read the game because they've played it, Bhogle is different
because apart from a very deep understanding of the game, he also has the soul of a cricket
romantic. Add to that, his unique way with words and his quick wit and you have the perfect
commentator!
Here are 37 of his gems. Not all of them are about cricket, so you have to read till the end:

1. Geoffrey Boycott once said Sachin may be a great batsman but he never got
his name at the Lord's honours boards.

2. Explaining how Cheteshwar Pujara is a fine Test player but the T20 format
doesn't suit him.
