Kieron Pollard, the Caribbean star known for his powerful hitting, once again showcased his prowess during the 17th match of The Hundred Men’s between Welsh Fire and Southern Brave. The highlight of the game came on the 84th ball of the first innings when P??ollard nearly hit a six that landed dangerously close to the Sky Sports comme??ntary pod.

Kieron Pollard’s stunning six narrowly misses the commentators 

Facing Haris Rauf, Pollard received a short delivery aimed at the stumps. Demonstrating his exceptional skill, Pollard swiveled and pulled the ball to the deep backward square leg fence. The shot was a magnificent display of timing and power, just clearing the boundary and narrowly missing the c?ommentators.

The standout performance of the innings, however, came from Southern Brave’s skipper, James Vince. Vince played a captain’s knock, remaining unbeaten on 73 runs off 50 balls. His innings was laced with seven fours and three sixes. Vince’s commanding performance set a formidable target of 140 runs for Welsh Fire.

In response, Welsh Fire struggled against a disciplined bowling attack from Southern Brave. The chase ended with Welsh Fire being bowled out for 97 runs in 95 balls.

The familiar foes will conclude their World Cup campaign like they started it, agains??t each other, and none of the 130,000-odd seats at the Narendra Modi Stadium will be empty on Sunday, November 19.

Elite commentary panel for CWC 2023 final

In anticipation of the highly awaited title clash, the ICC has revealed the star-studded commentary panel, featuring prominent voices such as Ravi Shastri and Harsha Bhogle, alongside former cricketers Nasser Hussain and Ricky Ponting.

Ravi Shastri, a familiar presence in significant cricketing moments, was on commentary duty during India’s last World Cup victory at home in 2011. His iconic lines, “Dhoni finishes off in style, India lift the World Cup after 28 years,” have become etched in the annals of history. Shastri witnessed the then India captain MS Dhoni’s memorable six over long-on against Sri Lanka, sealing a monumental World Cup win af??ter nearly three de?cades.

Harsha Bhogle is one of the finest commentators in cricketing history. He has been part of many iconic matches, and his words have gone down as sweet poetry to the ears of cricket enthusiasts. Bhogle’s fast reflexes and wittiness have also sent a laughter bombshell among the viewers at times.

Popularly known as the ‘Voice of Cricket’, Bhogle’s commentating career started at the age of 19 with All India Radio. The Hyderabad-born ever since has been ruling the hearts of cricket lovers through his exceptional commentating skills. Being a university cricketer himself, Bhogle has a deep understanding of the game and his ability to impart that to others with enthusiasm and perfection is what sets him apart.

One of the best football commentators, Peter Dury, recently expressed his admiration for Bhogle as well. On that note, let’s have a look at some of the best quotes from Harsha as the ‘Voice of Cricket’ turns 62 on July 19, 2023.

Top 10 quotes by Harsha Bhogle: 

1) To be a commentator??, you must have a life outside cricket, too. If cricket is all that you know, then you would not be a great commentator.

2) Cricket, like all sport, offers glory to few and a lifetime of it to even fewer. For the inve?stment it demands, it offers short careers that end when p?eople in other professions are starting to flourish.

3) Like an author, a cricketer sig??ns his name on every innings he bats or bowls ??in; indeed for every cricket ball that challenges him on the field.

4) Sometimes your greatest str?ength can emerge as a weakness if the context changes.

5) Change doesn’t always mean progress, but the status quo isn’t always the best result either. It is merely the most convenient.

6) A monk’s extraordinary patience can be a hindrance to desperate decision-making.

7) Cricketers are made to feel that they are very special. That is okay as long as cricketers real??ise they are only as good as their last innings.

8) Across professi??ons, consistency is a direct pro??duct of work ethic.

9) Sometimes, quite ?out of the blue, sport will throw up a tender moment, when? hostility ceases and an opponent is acknowledged.

10) Sports teaches you there is always a second innings in life. If you fail today, there’s a second innings maybe two days later. Maybe there’s another opportunity coming up three or six months later. If you look at mistake as learnings and commit never to make a same mistake again, then you actually get better with every mistake that you make.

Cricketer-turned-commentators Daren Ganga and Shaun Pollock enacted the roles of Indian wicket-keeper MS Dhoni and all-rounder Hardik Pandya, while Russell Arnold and Nick Knight played the roles of Bangladeshi tail-enders Shuvagata Hom and Mustafizur Rahman.

Pollock bowled a delivery even wider than what Pandya had done. Meanwhile, Arnold swung his bat, and Nick Knight ran to the danger end. Former West I??ndies player Ganga ran from behind to break the stumps, beating the batsman by ??a few inches.

As Pollock ran around in mock shock, Ganga acted like Dhoni had done �confident that he had got his man, but not wanting to believe what had just happened. Square leg umpire Aleem Dar referr??ed th??e decision to a non-existent third umpire.

With the o??riginal commentary being played in the background, the imitation from the commentators is near perfect and almost gives that original feel.
