With the Ashes approaching, I thought I would dig out the 12th Man CDs and have a bit of a listen

For those not familiar with the 12th Man, it is a cricket commentary spoof where Billy Birmingham plays the voices of many of the Australian Channel 9 Cricket Commentary Team.

If you are into cricket you will love it....here is a typical clip

For those familiar, what is the best soundbite from the 12th Man series? Tough question I know.

My favourite is Tony Greig's conversation with Gregg Matthews about where to get a hairpiece. We only hear the one side of the telephone conversation and it is Tony Greig's side.

Gregg..it's Tony Greig, how's it going?

You're hanging what? Loos.....what toilets?

Listen Gregg, I need to know where to get a hair hat.

Uhu - Advanced hair hats - that's your outfit?

And how do they feel?

Why would I want to look like a cat?

Why would a cat want to look like a hip?

Awesome

Look forward to hearing others favourites

I love the 12th Man series, it seems like a lifetime ago though. The one that springs to mind immediately is the Pakistani named Akeebmateefinajarbesidethebed.

Ah the memories!

 

How about the Sri Lankan pace bowler Givisahan Tilikerakni

 

Or Sumjurk Ramdmaka

Here's the link for the commentry team warm up where they practice the Pakistani Cricket team names

Tony Greig and Bill Lawrie discussing Merv Hughes

BL: Tremendous athlete Merv Hughes. Shown a lot of guts this summer.

TG: Turn it up Bill, he may have taken a few wickets but he's hardly what you would call an athlete. Most of the guts he's shown this summer have been hanging out of that skin tight Aussie shirt!
