Would you know, Ramiz Raja can be funny!
For those of following the World Cup Cricket -- my apologies on behalf of the ten bajillion dollar corporation that is Rupert Murdoch's Sky... and the fifth rate commentary you have to listen to half the time.
For the longest time, I've always thought Ramiz Raja was just terrible in his commentary, until a hilarious outburst today, when Gary Brent was knocked in the nutter trying to hit Shahid Afridi for a six.
Ramiz: "The pain is momentary. I can tell you... from personal experience. It's very painful at first, and then it evaporates."
Ramiz: "The physio is out on the field... I wonder what he's doing to Brent. Maybe taking a look to make sure everything is OK. Perhaps to check if the cup is well positioned."
Some other guy: "So Ramiz, you said that the pain is temporary, that it evaporates. The question is, does everything evaporate?"
Ramiz: "Just about, you're left with a swelling. That doesn't evaporate. Yes... all that's left is a big swelling. I wonder if he wants the swelling there."
Oh Ramiz... thanks for that talk. The millions of people watching an otherwise pathetic broadcast thank you for your one moment of stupidity. The marginal benefit of watching one more minute of your commentary just increased exponentially.
