Aditi Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 "maari wicket padi" (Gujju - my wicket has fallen...i.e. I'm about to fall asleep)....we say that a lot at home in India lol
Holysmoke Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 when you dont understand anything "thats a bouncer" as in.. it went over my head... also, when you're about to sleep/done with something... "EODP" (end of days play)

gator Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 we used the word "googly" often, when something unexpected was said or done...
Rajiv Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 when you dont understand anything "thats a bouncer" as in.. it went over my head... also, when you're about to sleep/done with something... "EODP" (end of days play) "thats a bouncer" - use it a lot and when someone drifts away form the conversation..abhey wide kyu dal raha hain
Laaloo Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 "maari wicket padi" (Gujju - my wicket has fallen...i.e. I'm about to fall asleep)....we say that a lot at home in India lol rofl memories coming back
coffee_rules Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Boy/Girl was bowled over/stumped by Girl/Boy, very commonly used as well for 'falling in love".
Gambit Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Advice I gave to my younger cousin brother before a board exam - Don't go wham, bam treating it like an ODI. Read the pitch(paper) correctly and pace yourself like a test inning. His parents were like WTF
ludhianvi Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 thread hijacked by Gujuz.. damn :haha: Boy/Girl was bowled over/stumped by Girl/Boy' date=' very commonly used as well for 'falling in love".[/quote'] another phrase I have heard being used is "clean bowled" "thats a bouncer" - use it a lot and when someone drifts away form the conversation..abhey wide kyu dal raha hain that's a good one. Now we need one for 'run out' and ' no ball'
Ram Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I am not sure " he/she was bowled over by her/him" is exactly a cricket centric term. I think it existed long before the advent of the game.
f.b.m Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I remember when I was a kid and used to miss some trick question or do some silly mistake in maths, my dad would always go "Leg before the wikeeeet". He was/is a big Anil Kumble fan, though.
