"Take that Australia"--Athar Ali Khan

vindeshi · #1 June 20, 2005, 08:12 PM

At 49.1 over Aftab Ahmed hitted six on Gillespie's bowling. Athar Ali instantly delivered the most daring and courageous comment to Aussie commentator Darren Lehman----" Take that Australia". Lehman really appreciate in his reply saying " Yeah we are taking it......seems we are in trouble now". Thanks to Athar showing his courageous dialogues for BD cricket.

We will do it again

We have to get Few batsmen out for today's match . After Pieteresen England doesn't have any good batsmen left but Pietersen's avg is great .

vindeshi · #4 June 20, 2005, 08:59 PM

yeah from now on we've to think positively, I think BD players are spiritidly very high now.....anything can happen!!!!!!!

ReckmyBack · #5 June 20, 2005, 09:13 PM

Not many batsmen in England got great avg in oid. But Pietersen , Strauss , Flintoff and Trescothick .... We have to get them out . We have to do some homework for todays match specially our bowlers . If those guys can't perform then we have a big chance . Can't forget Australia just beaten by us . If we can beat the First rank team then we can beat anyone .

I love to see Atahar says the same thing to "Ian Botham" or David Gower tonight .

Rabz · #10 June 21, 2005, 02:30 AM

Atahar's commentary is as classy as his batting...

well done atahar...

Athar Ali Khan rocks.

Athar

Mahir · #14 June 22, 2005, 01:14 AM

Athar has carved himself a nice niche amongst all these high-profile cricket commentators. Although Shamim Ashraf Chowdhury had much better credibility as a commentator, but it's Athar who has earned that international exposure, and have continued to defend on-spot bashings against Bangladesh, and have done a very good job so far. His statement after Aftab's 6 off Gillespie is an example!

Fortuner · #15 June 22, 2005, 05:31 AM

We need to be proud of Athar coz all this time it was others we were saying us Take that Bangladesh.

Guys, we need more commentators like Athar who can speak Eng well. Who is tall, good looking and over all smart in commentating...

Hats off to Our respected and beloved Commentator...he is the pride of our country as u dnt get to see many persons like him...of his standards....

There is no doubt about Athar's fluency in english as well as his good cricket sense, so I hope that BCB should also find out some former cricketers who have the same calibar like Athar.

ManInBlack · #17 June 22, 2005, 09:42 PM

Athar is really cool....It'd nice if he joins this forum...ain't there any way to invite him here?

It would be really a great idea. However, I like to share with you guys an article with opposite view. Just talking about the article in bangladesherkhela.com. I cannot support this type of negetive writing in any way. The reporter also criticised BD team's manager along with Athar Ali Khan.

Here is a what a typical Atahar post will look like here:

"Good morning everybody, that was a terrific post by Sham, who is once again in THE THICK OF THINGS, the forum is right now GLUED TO THEIR PCS."

athahar is still one of my favorite commentators..he is awesome...

Fortuner · #22 June 23, 2005, 05:21 AM

Wow! It would gr8 if Athar Ali Khan & Dav Whatmore joins this Forum.

We need to invite them sooner.

Is there any way to invite them. After all we discuss so much bout BD which needs to have an impact.....:tiger:

mwrkhan · #23 June 23, 2005, 06:07 AM

Shamim Ashraf Chowdhury's English was much better. However Atahar will certainly improve with time. I would like him to become more level voiced and analytical. Right now all he does is describe events on the field in an excited manner. He should commentate in matches where BD are not involved to improve his skills.

I don't think he will get that kind of opportunity in the near future.

That would depend upon his employers. I don't know what his current arrangements are. If there is a tournament hosted by Bangladesh then I am sure Atahar should be able to get an opportunity to commentate in matches where BD are not involved. May be the Asia cup sometime in the future.
