Best Sledging

[Kylez]

Still Lolworthy. Harmless.

No I still thought it was funny. Just thought some people could get offended.

I was the number 11 batsman usually for my side (University side) . But my liking to bash spinners once given me a chance to bat at 7. When I walked in to the middle the opposition captain (a certain SL national player) came to short cover. When I took guard he remarked "hey, you a**sehole, you are going to hit the ball right here in the air". I got cranked up a bit, a leggie was bowling, I went down the track first ball and took it as a full toss and hit it inside out past short covers head for one bounce four. Then I looked at him and retorted "Save your f*cking head, and get back to cover"

Hahaha awesome. Taught an awesome lesson to that di**head. I hate those who play better cricket and still try to take down on players which are at a lower level. Same thing happened at my coaching centre. Have replied them back with my batting or bowling skills rather than doing any talking.

I never sledge anyone until I am totally frustrated or on fire but not being successful to some extent.

1.This guy has more leaves than a tree
2. I have better blocks in my lego set
3. This fielder couldn't even catch a cold.
4. The batsmen drives like a taxi
5. The batsman got his bat from a cave

Put your seat belts on because this guy can't drive
He's like kids scissors, can't cut

Read one in Brett Lees autobiography that made me chuckle, not a sledge as such but just a funny line.......

1st Ashes test in 2006, Brett Lee is bowling to Freddy a few days after Brett's first child (Preston) is born. Lee bowls and Flintoff plays and misses.......

Flintoff - "Oh btw, Cheers mate"

Lee - "What for???"

Flintoff - "For naming your first born after my place of birth. But don't expect me to return the favour...........****ed if I'm naming my kid Wollongong"

[Midwinter]

thought was a Warwick Armstrong one

 

[fredfertang]

I thought it was Vic Richardson, rather than Woodfull, who uttered the immortal line?

 

[Daemon]

guess it didn't happen then

 

[Riggins]

Yeah pretty sure the other one wasn't steve waugh either.

Bastard of an insult hit for six - Cricket - Sport - smh.com.au

During the controversial Bodyline series of 1932-33, the English captain Douglas Jardine was said to have visited the Australian dressing room to complain bitterly to his counterpart Bill Woodfull that an Australian player had called him a bastard.
Woodfull turned to his team and said: "Which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?"

Bodyline quotes | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

"OK, which of you bastards called Larwood a bastard instead of this bastard."
Richardson on opening the dressing-room door to face Jardine demanding an apology after he overheard one of the Australians sledging Larwood

Nice work

Can't place where I read the Armstrong instance but supposedly
During a tour game on the 1920 tour.one of the opposition amateurs went to the Australian dressing room and complained to Armstrong of being called a bastard by an Australian player.

The Richardson one is good !

It's an old one but a good one

Ian Botham arrives at the wicket.........

Rod Marsh: How's your wife and my kids?

Ian Botham: Wife's fine. Kid's are re-tarded.

used to play during my teenage years (I was hopeless but it was fun). We had a spinner bowling, and one of their batsmen went for a huge slog and completely missed the ball. Our wicketkeeper quipped "ooh, beaten for pace there!"

 

[Daemon]

haha m8 that's a really good one not really

 

[Furball]

"Mind the Windows Tino" and Sangakkara sledging Pollock in the 2003 World Cup are my 2 favourites.

 

[GIMH]

Athers 'when in Rome' retort does the trick for me

 

[weldone]

Haha Marsh-Botham one is good, and so is the Jardine-Woodfull one.
