More interesting sledges:
- “So how’s your wife and my kids” Former Aussie wicketkeeper Rod Marsh to Ian Botham.
- “Hell, Gatt, move out of the way. I can’t see the stumps!” Aussie legend Dennis Lillee after stopping in his run-up to Mike Gatting during the opening match of England’s 1994-95 tour.
- “You can’t f……. bat!” Merv Hughes to England’s Robin Smith in the 1989 Lords Test. Smith quips right back at Hughes after he cracked one of his ensuing balls to the boundary. “Hey, Merv, we make a fine pair. I can’t f…. bat, and you can’t f…. bowl!”
- “F… me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing here? There’s no way you’re good enough to play for England.”Mark Waugh to Jimmy Ormond. “Maybe not, but at least I’m the best player in my family.”
- “A cricket tour in Australia would be the most delightful period in your life…if you were deaf.” Said by bodyline fast bowler Harold Larwood, so sledging has being going on for decades!!
- As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket, Warne told him he had been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. “Looks like you spent it eating,” Cullinan retorted.
