I heard a story about when Viv Richards was playing county cricket. Viv played and missed a couple of times against the opposing bowler, who said to him: 'It's red and it's round.'
Next ball Viv hit him out of the ground and he said to the bowler: 'You know what it looks like, why don't you go and fetch it?'
There are also two stories I've heard with Merv Hughes. Aus was playing Pakistan and Javed Miandad told Hughes he looked like a bus conductor. Couple of balls later Hughes got Miandad out and ran past Miandad saying: 'Tickets please.'
In the Ashes (I think 1993) Hughes was bowling to Robin Smith. Smith played and missed a couple of times and Hughes said to him: 'You can't bat you Pommie c***.'
Next ball Smith hit him for four and as Smith said to Hughes: 'Fine pair we make Merv. I can't bat and you can't bowl.'
