another one is 'one must agree'
Usually starts a sentence with "One would think..." or "One does think..."
This is a gem.
"Yes...one can see that Sangakkara has come on the stumps"
Sanga should be careful. His jizz might stick the bails onto the stump.
now we need to figure out who originally came up with these phrases. i.e. who RF copied these from ...
He uses the word 'Particularly'
Dilhara in some indiscretion
"Seem to have lost the impetus" or "Don't seem to have the impetus". What the f*** is impetus??
It's a good laugh when he starts off a long sentence, and towards the end there is no connection to the start.
Sum RF CLassics! Dis Blogs a perfect setting i thawt!! i dont know a better audience who wud appreciate these groaners ! heh heh
"What Jayasuriya will be trying to do is to hit the ball with the bat and get runs in order to win the match." - Ranjith Fernando
"If Ireland can get 8 or 9 quick wickets, they could be in with a chance." - Ranjith Fernando
"One would say that the team that scores more runs, should go on to win the game." - Ranjith Fernando
"It's a four. Oh no! He's out! He's clean bowled! I thought it went for four!" - Ranjith Fernando
Would someone suffocate me with a pillow, please.... - me while listening to Ranjith Fernando

Come on.. the first two can't be true!! That's just too funny.
And who can forget the all time classic... "and that's running down!!!" always said with so much excitement makes you what's been running down where.
jesus,cant someone give him a dictionary to get him some new words?
i'm not much of a cricket fan, but this "Ranjith"... man his a mut and a half...
"one would say that comments made by him will leave him to be called a fool, or better jet a jackass"

LOL @ 'sweeps, and sweeps well'
I'll add another
"Oh that's missed the stumps/bat by a COAT OF VARNISH"
what about, "devils in the pitch", "this pitch contains no devils"
"One must not forget"
"considering the fact that..(the obvious, the obvious & the obvious)"
..."he is the sort of player..."
one must have a heart for jehan mubarak........
once jayasurya was having a lollipop on the field n manjrekar said, " ranjit, normally one associates this with youngsters..."
so ranjit replied, " well sanjay, sanath jayasurya is young at heart!!!"
after dhoni scored 183 against lanka( same match, sangakkarra also scored 138), laxman sivaramakrishnan asked ranjit, " so ranjit, what do u have to say about dhoni's innings??
ranjit replied, "hmmmmmmmm...welll...hmmmm...dhoni yesssssss, BUT one must not forget Kumara Sangakkarra!! wat a class player he is..."
aftr jayasurya hit a six ranjit said " loook at the muscles of sanath jayasurya!!!"
"Is certainly" are his favourite words, stressing each word
eg. Sanath Jayasuriya is certainly a fine batsman
in the test series in india, lanka were struggling at 150/5 sumthing, and attapatu was batting on 50 -60...it was the last over of the day....this is when ranjit started...
" maaarvan attapatoo certainly is playing well...class, talent, tempaaaaarament, he's got it alll!!"
and next ball, attapatu got out!!!
n ranjit was so embarrassed..he's like,
" i dont know what happened...he was playing so well uptill now!!"
One must remember that "the great one" has contributed much needed humour to the game of cricket, his comments have great carry of humour
