A video of former England cricketer Isa Guha asking a ‘double-meaning’ question in the commentary box has been going viral. It was a Big Bash League (BBL) game when a discussion on carom ball ignited in the commentary box. Guha and former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, who’s was also a part of the commentary panel, listened keenly as their fellow commentator talked about the art of bowling carom balls.
For the unversed, carom ball is a variation used by modern-day spinners to fox batters, especially in T20 cricket. Speaking of the same, Guha and Gilchrist’s fellow commentator recalled how a coach used to pick bowlers with the longest middle-finger as the potential candidate to bowl carom balls. While it looked like a regular elaboration, Guha’s reply left everyone in splits.

The other commentator had said, “Spin bowling coaching clinics where the head coach has said, y’all know… You just show me your bowling hand. The guy or kid with longest middle finger was identified as a potential carrom-bowler.” Replying to which Isa Guha asked, “How big is yours?”.
WhileIsa Guha may have referred to the finger, her response was interpreted in a different manner. Even Gilchrist failed to control his laughter.
