I like it because that's what sledging should be. Pollock's come to the wicket, Sanga's indulged in a little bit of chat that's heaped the pressure right onto Pollock.Quite like that video tbh. Mainly the end that does it for me and the way he says it (42 million supporters, right here, depending on Shaun!), but also because Sanga seems such a good bloke that you can't imagine him saying anything worse.
If Sanga had welcomed Pollock to the wicket with "alright you useless ginger ****, your team is **** and so is your mother in bed" I'd regard that as abuse, not sledging.
edit: the Flintoff video linked above gives 2 great examples of proper sledging as well. The first one he just shuts Bravo up brilliantly, the second one he gets Tino Best to play a ridiculous shot and throw his wicket away - Flintoff's reaction to the stumping said it all.
