"If one-day cricket was pyjama cricket, then Twenty20 is underwear cricket."

Did he really say that or is it your own Sidhuism ?

I don't know if it's subtle enough to be underwear cricket...

I copied it from the quotes page on cricinfo.

I read article about it a few days ago! Basically he said that the underwear game is about luck and not skill. This man really comes up with some weird analogies!

The full quote(s):

Quote ... unquote

"If one-day cricket was pyjama cricket, then Twenty20 is underwear cricket."
Navjot Sidhu waxes eloquent, but he doesn't stop there...

"This cricket is like a burger, you can have it once a week but for a whole meal, you need to return to Test cricket. More than once a week, and it will give you a tummy ache"
Underwear or burgers? Sidhu strives to capture the essence of Twenty20

I can't recall anyone mangling metaphors like this since Kevin Keegan.

I think the bloke should be on TMS - he would soon attract a cult following. That's CULT by the way!

please take him. as far away from india as possible

women's cricket could be more interesting if sidhu was taken literally

He's a pain in the neck, but on the odd occassion he does make you laugh. Unfortunately he overdoes it.

Ah, but what sort of underwear?

Starched Y-fronts that irritate the nether region?

The legendary jockstrap, containing small samples of every body fluid?

Ill-fitting nylon jocks, a bit fetid, with added thrush?

Lurid cartoon-quality boxer shorts, with a nudge-nudge wink-wink 'joke' caption?

A Pamela Anderson sized bustierre, stretched and overblown beyond any reality?



Actually, he might be onto something.

I still smile at his description of Nicky Boje bowling (or not as this case applied) to the Indian batsmen as:

"You don't keep a sausage in a doghouse"

My favourite; you can't blame the chicken, if the omelette is bad.

I'd like to see him in the commentary box with Botham!!! yes - it would be great - both talk some volumental cr@p.

think Botham would get seriously wound up and Sidhu won't back down - just ask Crowe.

And 10 over a side cricket?

I'm guessing it starts with a 'G'.

Imagine Sidhu and O'Keeffe commentating together.

O'Keeffe

Is he doing the commentary for Nine?

Not that I know of.
