Ramatunga Downathroata

Brilliant. I’m fairly wetting myself listening to the 12th man CD - I’d forgotten just how hilarious it is. Tony Greig commentating: “And here’s big Merv Hughes, to open the bowling from the Members’ end, and he’s coming into Ramatunga Downathroata”.
Utter quality. Expect more indecipherable musings soon.

Ah, many a potentially dull moment at training or during a game were rescued by an appropriate Twelfth Man quote…..example:
Tony Greig: “…the Australians in their canary yellow.”
Bill Lawry: “Canary yellow!! That’s Australian Gold, my friend, and don’t you f**king forget it!”

Good ones 
Greig: “…and the crowd here at the MCG are loving every moment. They know the rain’s coming, but they couldn’t give a flying fuck.”

The best part of all the 12th man CDs are the opening lines from Ritchie. “Another typical stinking, f*cking hot day here in Bombay”. Makes me laugh out loud every time. Ritchie Benaud swearing is just funny by itself.
The bit where Bill Lawry looses it when Big Merv takes a hat trick and shouts “I love you Merv, get him up here I want to poof him” is great too.
Many a long drive to an away game has been spent listening to 12th man on the CD.

Absolute classic…
Bill Lawrie: ‘ Yeah, p1ss off, you’re out, thats f#cked his average Tony!
Richie Benaud: ‘On a pitch that Tony Greig described this morning as - ‘an absolute motherf#cker’

Richie “Ah, Security.”
Security “Yes Mr Benaud?”
Richie “If Max Walker comes within 5 fucking of this door, shoot him.”
Security “Sure thing Mr Benaud.”
