1القابضة ... الغمز والرامي لا يزال قويا

تقريبا كل مشجع لعبة الكريكيت سيكون قد سمع الاقتباس الشهير, ينسب إلى بريان جونستون, "The Bowler’s Holding, ويلي الرجل الضارب ". سواء قيل هذا بالفعل على الهواء أم لا ، لم يعد يمثل أهمية كبيرة, فمن التمثيلي ببراعة للعديد من entenders المزدوجة التي وردت في التعليق الكريكيت قبل ومنذ ذلك الحين. عرضت أن الاحدث في هذا التقليد غرامة تصل أمس تشارلز دغنل في تعليقه على مباراة كأس الأبطال بين باكستان وجنوب أفريقيا, متى, في وصف 7ft1 محمد عرفان باكستان, أعلن واضاف "انه فقط حصلت على مقبض كبير تذكاري ... إذا جاز التعبير". بعد ضحكة مكتومة جيدة أنا وضعت حول إعداد لائحة لبعض من المفضلة, التي أقدم أدناه.

لقد قمت بتحديث هذه القائمة في أغسطس 2017 as a res­ult of enjoy­ing some more clas­sics (won­der­fully described in the show as ‘urbane school­boy humour’) thanks to the won­der­ful “Test Match Spe­cial: لدينا TMS” radio pro­gramme broad­cast on BBC Radio 5 حي, to cel­eb­rate 60 years of TMS.

There are audio clips of more clas­sic gaffes by Bri­an John­ston at Johnners.com and there are also many oth­er amus­ing quotes at WanderersCricketClub.com و BleacherReport.com

* The story of the “bowl­er­’s Hold­ing” clip is a com­plic­ated one. There are vari­ous accounts that sug­gest it really happened, or really did­n’t. The main ref­er­ence claim­ing Johnners did use the line is a BBC art­icle which quotes Henry Blofeld as say­ing he was present at the time. How­ever, لقد سمعت هنري Blofeld أول يد شرح قصة, dur­ing which he said that the Johnners did­n’t use the line. Appar­ently Johnners received a let­ter which claimed he had used this innu­endo, and he told the story of the let­ter but nev­er con­firmed that he had actu­ally used the line in ques­tion. There is good reas­on to believe the let­ter was a joke as it was sent by a Miss Tess Tickle (also repor­ted else­where as Miss Mainpiece)
