26.6 Rampaul to Kallis, FOUR, stand and deliver! Utterly flogged on the up, through the covers, beating fielders diving left and right
That's what [ Cricinfo ] had to say about one particular shot towards the end of the 5th ODI match between South Africa and the West Indies.
I happened to watch this particular ball live. [ Jimmy Adams ] was on commentary at the time; his words were as presented below:
(live)
"And that's straight through the slot"
(replay)
"That is a beauty"
"He caressed it right through the gap"
(a couple of minutes later, while changing shifts in the commentary box)
"No, thank you Keppler, the pleasure was all mine"
Why have I listed these particular comments?
Do remember that Jimmy Adams has a strong Jamaican accent.
When he says 'not', he pronounces it as 'nut'. 'Hot' becomes 'hut'. Pot-putt, caught-cut and so on.
Now go back and read his comments again.

As I've mentioned earlier, I don't think I'll ever grow up.
