Question

What's the best sledging moment in the history of cricket?

Answer 1

1) James Ormond & Mark Waugh

Ormand had just come out to bat on an Ashes tour and was greeted by Mark Waugh.

MW: "**** me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here? There's no way you're good enough to play for England."

JO: "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best player in my family."

2) Mark Waugh & Adam Parore

Waugh standing at second slip, the new player (Parore) comes to the crease playing & missing the first ball. Mark: "Oh, I remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were **** then, you're ******* useless now."

Parore (turning around): "Yeah, that's me. And when I was there you were going out with that old, ugly s**t. And now I hear you've married her, you dumb ****!"

Answer 2

Ian Botham vs. some Australian cricketer (Rod Marsh or David Boon, don't exactly remember).

Aussie: How's your wife and my children?

Botham: My wife's fine and your children are retarded.

Answer 3

1. "Here is the guy who has hardly any hair but does head and shoulders ads." (Robin Uthappa vs Matty Hayden)

2. Shane Warne was bowling to Paul Collingwood in the Ashes series and after Collingwood had swept and missed on several occasions;Warne muttered to Gilchrist “For Christ sake this guy can't hit anything”. Collingwood must of heard this remark because he said ” Hey Warnie do you want to say that to my face or do you want to send me a text message like you did to those other HOOKERS”. This one had me in splits... absolutely incredible. Great work Paulie ! :-)

3. Merv Hughes was one of the greatest exponents of the fine "art" of sledging. Once during a tour game in South Africa Hughes was bowling to Hansie Cronje . It was an especially flat wicket and Cronje was hitting Hughes for fours and sixes all over the place. After the umpteenth boundary, Hughes headed down the pitch, stood near Cronje, let out a f**t and said: "Try hitting that for six." It was five minutes before the guffawing stopped and play could resume.

Answer 4

I forget who it was but it went along the lines of........

Sledge "Why are you so fat?"

Reply "Because each time I *&%# your wife she gives me a biscuit"

Answer 5

1) McGrath to Sarwan: How does Lara's di*k taste?

Sarwan: I dunno... why don't you ask your wife.

(I understand that McGrath's wife happened to be suffering from serious illness at the time, but I reckon he still deserved it).

2) Fat Gatt walks into bat against England's arch-old rivals, Australia. Wicket keeper Heals and Boonie at short square leg give the incoming batsman the ol' glare. Ignoring this, Gatt prepares to negotiate his first delivery from an off spinner. But just as Gatt begins to take strike, Heals reckons he's waited around long enough and yells over to the bowler, "mate, just chuck a mars bar half way down the track, he'll charge for it and I'll complete an easy stumping." On hearing this, Fat Gatt quickly advises Heals, "I don't know about that tactic, mate. Boonie will surely beat me to it!"

Answer 6

My favourite-

Fred Trueman - While bowling the batsman edges and the ball goes to first slip,and right between Raman Subba Row's legs. Fred doesn't say a word. At the end of the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises sheepishly. "I should've kept my legs together, Fred". "So should your mother," he replied.
