5 of the best punchlines in cricket commentary history

#4 ‘Dejected as a wet hen’ - Navjor Singh Siddhu

Now, Navjot Singh Sidhu did not have a long career in cricket commentary but for the few years that he handled the microphone, he dropped one-liners that are still recounted fondly by cricket fans.

Sidhu might not have been the most incisive of commentators but he was, without a doubt, a thorough entertainer and his clever usage of out-of-the-way and sometimes self-made idioms, made him a viewer’s delight. Among the many punchlines that he used, the ‘dejected as a hen’ is a particularly memorable one and was usually used to sum up the reaction of a batsman after being dismissed.

However, Sidhu put his oratory skills to better use and went into politics. Cricket lost what Indian politics gained.
