Cricket sledging - not just restricted to the Aussies

[Dogwatcher]

Here's for all of you people that claim it's only the Aussies who are the bad guys when it comes to sledging (you know who you are)

And also, the last video provides a reminder that Shane Warne sometimes fell on his a*se on the field, and that some of the best sledging comes from the commentary box.

PS: I wonder if any Aussies will have something to say to Paul Nixon after he didn't walk last night???

Well Lou Vincent thinks we are the masters at it....

Lou actually played for our club in Darwin is a top bloke, humbl, down to earth certainly doesn't walk around with his head up his arse like some "pros do".....in other words not prone to shooting his mouth off for the sake of it

Not afraid to mix with the plebs of our club i.e. me

Sledging is good if it has genuine humour.

One of the funniest sledges in my opinion was from South Africa's Graeme Smith on his side's last tour out here in 2005.

In the 1st Test v Australia at the WACA Andrew Symonds was batting and called for the insect repellent as the flies were bothering him. As Symonds gave his face a spray. Smith quipped "You shouldn't harm your national bird".

TM - that's funny, because I heard the complete opposite from a bloke who played club cricket with him in Adelaide....

Not saying you're wrong. Different places, different times I guess.

Bill Lawry has a pretty big chin but you can't tell because it will always be in the shadow of his nose.

This thread reminds me of a very funny sign at the MCG many years ago. Someone hung a bed sheet over the rail of a stand at the MCG and painted on it, "BILL LAWRY'S HANKY". Even Bill had to laugh at that one.

Ian Healy to fielder: I want you to come right in under the batdmen's nose (Nasser Hussain)
when the fielder was 5 metres away, he said : that'll do...

*Bump*

Its funny when nations who aren't good at it try it on...

Prior to the 2003 test against the Australians the Bangladesh team were playing an NT XI in Darwin so they thought they'd try out their sledging. Mate of mine was playing and one of the Bangas came up to him and said,

"I'm told all Australians have small c**ks, what's it like having a small c**k?"

My mate having played 5 years A grad district in Adelaide simply replied, "I dunno but your Mum seemed to enjoy it last night" At that point the Banga has gone off his nut in Bangladeshi and my mate has just started laughing....

Not sure if they were game to sledge Brett Lee or Steve Waugh, in the test the next week, but given their first up effort they probably should have quit while they were ahead...

Aussies certainly aren't the only ones who sledge, it goes on everywhere. However, the reason the Aussies cop the blame is because we have turned it into an art form.
