Кіріспе
"The Twelfth Man" (сондай-ақ "The 12th Man") – австралиялық сатирик Билли Бирмингемнің комедиялық туындылар сериясы. Бирмингем австралиялық спорт комментаторларының дауыстарын пародизациялаумен әйгілі. Атауына сәйкес (он бір ойыншыдан құралған крикет командасындағы ойынға қатыспайтын резервке сілтеме), Бирмингем Ричи Бено, Билл Лори, Ян Чапелл және Тони Грейг сияқты крикет комментаторларына ерекше назар аударды. Бұл сондай-ақ Австралияның көптеген крикет комментаторларының ерекше және оңай танылатын дауыстары мен акценттері болғандықтан. Альбомдардағы пародиялар Nine Network-тің крикет комментарийлерінің "көрініс артындағы" комикалық бейнесін көрсетуге арналған. Бирмингем дәстүрлі түрде барлық рөлдерді өзі ойнайды (өзін ойнаған Кен Сатклифф пен Ричи Беноның хатшысы сияқты кейбір екінші дәрежелі әйел персонаждардан басқа). Беноның өзі әрбір альбомды Бирмингемге сынмен жіберіп тұратын, жазбаларға қатысты көңілі бөлінген, себебі Бирмингемнің небір сөздерді қолдануына байланысты. Барлық альбомдарды Дэвид Фрогат өндіріп, дыбыстады. "The Twelfth Man" – тарихта жеті рет қатарынан бірінші орынға ие болған жалғыз австралиялық орындаушы. 2009 жылғы 22 қарашада "Сидней Морнинг Геральд" газетінде жарияланған мақалада Бирмингем "Boned!" альбомын "The Twelfth Man" атымен шығарған соңғы студиялық альбомы деп мәлімдеді.
Television series
The Twelfth Man (also known as The 12th Man) is the name for a series of comedy productions by Australian satirist Billy Birmingham. Birmingham, a skilled impersonator, is generally known for parodying Australian sports commentators' voices. As befits the name (a reference to the non playing reserve in an eleven player cricket side), Birmingham focused in particular on cricket commentators such as Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Ian Chappell and Tony Greig. This is also because many of Australia's cricket commentators have distinctive and easily identifiable voices and accents. The album parodies are designed as a comical look "behind the scenes" of the Nine Network's cricket commentary. Birmingham traditionally plays all the roles (with the exception of Ken Sutcliffe, who played himself; and some minor female characters, such as Richie Benaud's secretary). Benaud himself sent a critique of each CD to Birmingham and was known to have a mixed opinion of the recordings, due predominantly to Birmingham's use of profanity. All albums were produced and engineered by David Frogatt. The Twelfth Man is the only Australian recording artist in history to have seven consecutive number one albums. In an article in the Sydney Morning Herald on 22 November 2009, Birmingham announced that Boned! would be his last studio album as The Twelfth Man.

Пародияланған кейіпкерлер
Ричи Беноның өзінен, Билл Лориден, Ян Чаппелден және Тони Грейгтен басқа, "12-ші адам" бағдарламасында Channel Nine арнасының тарихындағы әртүрлі австралиялық комментаторлар да бар. Олардың ішінде Макс Уокер, Марк "Табби" Тейлор, Янның інісі Грег Чаппел, Майкл "Слатс" Слейтер, ағылшын Марк Николас және Вест-Индиялық Майкл Холдинг бар. Бирмингем крикетпен байланысы жоқ бірнеше комментаторларды да пародиялайды. Оларға регби лигасы комментаторлары Рей "Керісі" Уоррен мен Пол "Түлкі" Вотин, Питер "Стерло" Стерлинг, Стив Роуч, Даррелл Истлейк, Лу Ричардс, Джек "Суперкоуч" Гибсон, Ян "Аю" Морис, Майк "Гиббо" Гибсон және ат жарыстары комментаторы Кен Калландер кіреді. Австралия мәдениетінен басқа да тұлғалар пародияланды. Олардың арасында медиа-магнат және Channel Nine арнасының иесі Керри Пакер, бұрынғы премьер-министр Джон Ховард, журналист Майк Манро және ток-шоу жүргізушісі Алан Джонс бар.
In addition to Richie Benaud himself, Bill Lawry, Ian Chappell and Tony Greig, the 12th Man features various other Australian commentators from throughout Channel Nine's line up. They include Max Walker, Mark "Tubby" Taylor, Ian's brother Greg Chappell, Michael "Slats" Slater, Englishman Mark Nicholas and West Indian Michael Holding. Several non cricket commentators are also parodied by Birmingham. They include rugby league commentators Ray "Rabbits" Warren and Paul "Fatty" Vautin, Peter "Sterlo" Sterling, Steve Roach, Darrell Eastlake, Lou Richards, Jack "Supercoach" Gibson, Ian "Bear" Maurice, Mike "Gibbo" Gibson and horse racing commentator Ken Callander. Other figures from Australian culture are also parodied. They include media magnate and Channel Nine owner Kerry Packer, former prime minister John Howard, journalist Mike Munro and talkback radio personality Alan Jones.
Комикстер тақырыптары
Өндірістер көбінесе екі тақырыпқа тоқталады: комментаторлардың дауыстары мен есімдері, сондай-ақ спортшылардың есімдерінің пародилері. Бұл нақты спортшылардың әзілді түрде өзгешеленген есімдерін де, толығымен ойдан шығарылған есімдерді де қамтиды. Австралия крикет командасынан басқа барлық спорт түрлері мен командалар осыған қатысты. Ең көп пародияланатын командалар – Үндістан және Пәкістан крикет құрамалары. Мысалы, Сунил Гаваскарды Сунил Хаваскар деп атайды, бұл оның ойдан шығарылған командаласы "Кутхис Арминхалф" (Мохиндер Амарнатхқа сілтеме) туралы әзіл. Жаңа Зеландия және Англия крикет командаларының ойыншыларының есімдері де кейде пародилеуге түседі. Австралия крикет командасының есімдері ешқашан пародиленбейді, бірақ команданың басқа да аспектілері, әсіресе Билл Лоуридің "Брисс Руд" деп атаған Брюс Ридке қатысты әзілдер кездеседі. Ол бірде ойын кезінде құлап, екіге бөлініп кетеді, содан кейін қайтадан біріктіріп, ойынды жалғастырады (Рид мансабы бойы бойы ұзын, жіңішке денелі және жарақат алуға бейім екенімен белгілі болған). Тіпті төрешілер мен жаттықтырушылардың есімдеріне де әзіл-қалжыңдар қолданылады.
Productions tend to focus on two themes: the voices and personalities of the commentators themselves, and parodies of athletes' names. This includes both humorous modifications of real life players, as well as purely fictional names. Virtually all sports and teams are subject to this, except for the Australian cricket team. Names of Indian cricket team and Pakistani cricket team are the most commonly parodied. For example, Sunil Gavaskar is referred to as Sunil Haveascar, a humorous reference to his fictional teammate "Cuthis Arminhalf" (a reference to Mohinder Amarnath). New Zealand cricket team players' names are sometimes parodied, as are those of the England cricket team. The Australian cricket team is never parodied on the basis of their names, but humorous references still extend to other aspects of the team, in particular Bruce Reid who is called "Breece Rude" by Bill Lawry and who, at one stage, slips over and snaps in half before taping himself back together to resume playing (Reid was known throughout his career for being tall and thin and susceptible to injury). Humor even extends to the names of umpires and team coaches.
Дауыстар мен кейіпкерлер
The Twelfth Man ең танымал Бірмингемнің басты кейіпкерлердің дауыстарын, сондай-ақ олардың бірегей мінездерін және эфирдегі стильдерін бейнелеуімен. Осы пароди́ялар:
The Twelfth Man is most well known for Birmingham's impression of the main characters voices, as well as their unique personalities and styles on air. These parodies include:
Richie Benaud is the leader of the Central Commentary Team, and often remarks that "We work as a team, and we do it my way". There is focus on his famous pronunciation of the number two to sound like "chew", with the number two being a very popular term in the series. His fashion sense is also a point of humor, as Benaud's jackets of choice are either cream, white, off white, ivory, bone or beige. Benaud also has a vineyard in France, "Chateau Verda Flore" managed by a Frenchman named Henri Porte. A very proud man, Benaud is often mistaken for Darrell Eastlake, much to Benaud's chagrin. Bill Lawry is another main character, usually presenting with his colleague Tony Greig. Lawry has a relatively high pitched and nasally voice, with many jokes coming at the expense of his large nose. Lawry is from Victoria and is extremely biased towards Victorian players, venues and crowds. He has a particular affection for fellow Victorians Merv Hughes, Dean Jones and Shane Warne, as well as his collection of racing pigeons. His common expressions include "Got him, yes! Piss off! You're out!" and "The tension, the drama, the buzz, the crowd, the atmosphere!" Lawry is also frequently late for team meetings, much to Benaud's chagrin. Tony Greig is Lawry's sparring partner, and often are the first two commentators of the game. A native of South Africa, Greig has a thick South African accent and is ridiculed for his heavily accented pronunciation of words like "off", "half", "broadcast". Greig carries out the pitch reports before each game, and is famous for sticking foreign objects into the pitch—usually his car keys but occasionally his Italian loafers and even a fountain pen belonging to Richie. These items often get stuck in the pitch, leading to much aggravation with the rest of the team. Greig is a relatively neutral commentator but does display a certain allegiance to South African teams. The Chappell brothers of Ian and Greg typically work as a pair. They are known for their calm, non controversial demeanors. Max Walker is portrayed as a maniacal and unhinged personality. With his own distinct tones, Max is often caught not paying attention to the goings on on the field. Having been sacked early in the series, many of Walker's hijinx involve his attempts to re join the commentary team. These include the changing of his name by deed poll to Mike Walker, his kidnapping of fellow commentator Ken Sutcliffe to guarantee his own success, and his takeover of the commentary box (by force) with Benaud held hostage. Darrell Eastlake is shown as an over the top and exuberant personality, which does not always sit well with Richie. Eastlake finds it hard to contain his own excitement, as his voice will rise to a fever pitch during the announcement of a simple play or event. Despite having virtually no similarities in voice or appearance with Benaud, they are often mistaken for each other. Ken Sutcliffe, known as the Male Model from Mudgee, is actually voiced by Sutcliffe himself. Considerable humor is dedicated to Sutcliffe's handsome features, and is seen as being a hit with the ladies—including the wives of both Benaud and Walker. When it is announced he is a possible addition to the commentary team, Sutcliffe is kidnapped by Max Walker in order to guarantee Walker's own successes.

Ричи Бено – Орталық комментарий тобының жетекшісі, ол көбінесе «Біз команда ретінде жұмыс істейміз және менің жолыммен жасаймыз» дейді. Оның екі санын «шeу» деп айтуға баса назар аударылады, ал екі саны – сериалдағы өте танымал термин. Беноның киім талғамы да әзіл-қалжыңға толы, өйткені Беноның таңдаған күртелері көбінесе кремді, ақ, сүттей ақ, ақжем, сүйек түсті немесе беже болады. Бено Францияда «Chateau Verda Flore» деген жүзімдіктің иесі, оны Генри Порте есімді француз басқарады. Өте мақтаншыл адам Беноны көбінесе Даррелл Истлейк деп жаңылыстырады, бұл Беноны қынжырлатады.

Билл Лори – тағы бір басты кейіпкер, ол әдетте әріптесі Тони Грейгпен бірге көрінеді. Лоридің дауысы салыстырмалы түрде жоғары және мұрынды, көптеген әзілдер оның үлкен мұрнының есебінен туындайды. Лори Виктория штатынан шыққан және Викториялық ойыншыларға, ареналарға және жанкүйерлерге ерекше жақын. Ол Викториялық Мерв Хьюз, Дин Джонс және Шейн Уорн сияқты спорттық қанатты құстар жинағын ерекше жақсы көреді. Оның жиі айтатын сөздері: «Алып қойдым, иә! Кетіп қал! Сыртқа!» және «Шылым, драма, қызу, көпшілік, атмосфера!» Лори команда жиналыстарына көбінесе кешігеді, бұл Беноны ашуландырады.

Тони Грейг – Лоридің қарсыласы, және көбінесе ойынның алғашқы екі комментаторы болады. Оңтүстік Африка тумасы Грейгтің қалың Оңтүстік Африка акценті бар және ол «off», «half», «трансляция» сияқты сөздерді ауыр акцентпен айтуы үшін мазаққа түседі. Грейг әр ойын алдында алаң туралы есеп береді және алаңға шетелдік заттарды тығып қоюмен танымал – көбінесе оның машина кілттері, кейде итальяндық туфлілері және тіпті Ричиге тиесілі қаламұш. Бұл заттар көбінесе алаңға тығылып, команданың қалған бөлігіне ыңғайсыздық туғызады. Грейг салыстырмалы түрде бейтарап комментатор, бірақ Оңтүстік Африка командаларына белгілі бір адалдық көрсетеді.

Benaud also has a vineyard in France, "Chateau Verda Flore" managed by a Frenchman named Henri Porte. A very proud man, Benaud is often mistaken for Darrell Eastlake, much to Benaud's chagrin. Bill Lawry is another main character, usually presenting with his colleague Tony Greig. Lawry has a relatively high pitched and nasally voice, with many jokes coming at the expense of his large nose. Lawry is from Victoria and is extremely biased towards Victorian players, venues and crowds. He has a particular affection for fellow Victorians Merv Hughes, Dean Jones and Shane Warne, as well as his collection of racing pigeons. His common expressions include "Got him, yes! Piss off! You're out!" and "The tension, the drama, the buzz, the crowd, the atmosphere!" Lawry is also frequently late for team meetings, much to Benaud's chagrin. Tony Greig is Lawry's sparring partner, and often are the first two commentators of the game. A native of South Africa, Greig has a thick South African accent and is ridiculed for his heavily accented pronunciation of words like "off", "half", "broadcast". Greig carries out the pitch reports before each game, and is famous for sticking foreign objects into the pitch—usually his car keys but occasionally his Italian loafers and even a fountain pen belonging to Richie. These items often get stuck in the pitch, leading to much aggravation with the rest of the team. Greig is a relatively neutral commentator but does display a certain allegiance to South African teams. The Chappell brothers of Ian and Greg typically work as a pair. They are known for their calm, non controversial demeanors. Max Walker is portrayed as a maniacal and unhinged personality. With his own distinct tones, Max is often caught not paying attention to the goings on on the field. Having been sacked early in the series, many of Walker's hijinx involve his attempts to re join the commentary team. These include the changing of his name by deed poll to Mike Walker, his kidnapping of fellow commentator Ken Sutcliffe to guarantee his own success, and his takeover of the commentary box (by force) with Benaud held hostage. Darrell Eastlake is shown as an over the top and exuberant personality, which does not always sit well with Richie. Eastlake finds it hard to contain his own excitement, as his voice will rise to a fever pitch during the announcement of a simple play or event. Despite having virtually no similarities in voice or appearance with Benaud, they are often mistaken for each other. Ken Sutcliffe, known as the Male Model from Mudgee, is actually voiced by Sutcliffe himself. Considerable humor is dedicated to Sutcliffe's handsome features, and is seen as being a hit with the ladies—including the wives of both Benaud and Walker. When it is announced he is a possible addition to the commentary team, Sutcliffe is kidnapped by Max Walker in order to guarantee Walker's own successes.
Richie Benaud is the leader of the Central Commentary Team, and often remarks that "We work as a team, and we do it my way".

Макс Уокер – маньяк және ақылдан безген тұлға ретінде бейнеленеді. Өзіне тән интонациясымен Макс көбінесе алаңдағы оқиғаларға назар аудармайтынын байқауға болады. Сериалдың басында жұмыстан босатылғандықтан, Уокердің көптеген әрекеттері комментарий тобына қайта оралуға тырысуымен байланысты. Оларға оның атын ресми түрде Майк Уокерге өзгертуі, өзінің табысын қамтамасыз ету үшін әріптесі Кен Сатклифті ұрлауы және Беноны кепілге алып, комментарий қорабын (күшпен) басып алуы жатады.

Даррелл Истлейк – аса шамадан тыс және көтеріңкі мінезді тұлға ретінде көрсетіледі, бұл әрқашан Ричиге ұнай бермейді.

Оның дауысы мен сыртқы келбеті Бенодан ешқандай ұқсастығы болмаса да, олар көбінесе бір-бірімен шатасады.

Considerable humor is dedicated to Sutcliffe's handsome features, and is seen as being a hit with the ladies—including the wives of both Benaud and Walker. When it is announced he is a possible addition to the commentary team, Sutcliffe is kidnapped by Max Walker in order to guarantee Walker's own successes.

"12-ші адам" бүкіл әлемде үлкен жанкүйерлер қауымын құрады. Австралиядан тыс, Ұлыбританияда ең көп жанкүйерлері бар, ал Оңтүстік Африка олардан көп айырмашылығы жоқ. Көптеген адамдар альбомдарды жатқа алған, ал Билли Бирмингемге көбінесе оның туындыларының пародийлерін көрсетеді. Жаңа альбом шығару үшін үлкен топтар петиция жинап жатыр, бірақ Бирмингем тартынады, өйткені оның басты жұлдызы Ричи Бено зейнеткерлікке шығуын мәлімдеген (Беноның 2015 жылғы 10 сәуірдегі қазасы осыны толықтырды), ал қазір жаңа комментаторлар алға шықты.
The 12th Man has a large following all around the world. Outside Australia, the UK probably has the most fans, with South Africa a very close second. Albums have been learned by heart by many, and Billy Birmingham is often greeted with impressions of his work. There are large groups petitioning for a new album, but Birmingham is reluctant, as his main star, Richie Benaud, had announced his retirement (eclipsed by Benaud's death on 10 April 2015), with newer commentators taking the fore.
