In the book "Cricket's Hall of Shame", it tells of a banner used in Melbourne related to Shane Warne's appetite. It read: "Relax Shane - it's only xx minutes to lunch". The xx being the number of minutes to the lunch break; which were changed every 10 minutes. Then the sign was later replaced with "Relax Shane - it's only xx minutes till we remove this sign".

What are some other witty banners that come to mind?

Witty or not i always remember the banner at the Adelaide Oval many years ago, "The Spin Triplets, Shane Warne, Tim May and Bob Neil"

The one at the MCG 20 odd years ago, a huge white sheet that simply said, "Bill Lawry's hankie"

"bracewell has no appeal"

Channel 9 showed some highlights of Australia vs India at the 1992 World Cup during this years World Cup. In it was a banner with a balloon like person resembling David Boon, and next to it "David Balloon"

In one of the one dayers in South AFrica in 1994, Adrian Kuiper slogged Paul Reiffel everywhere in the closing overs and ended up making 47 not out off not many in a very good score.

In the next game, a few days later, a banner read - "You may have a Reiffel, but we have an AK 47"

GOLD

1 banner and 1 banner only

NO FAT CHICKS

Not really a banner but the lads who put the beer cups in the wire fence holes on the hill at Adelaide Oval to spell Hookesy was great.

Struggling to recall the players names and the actual numbers, but I recall after Alan Lamb smashed Bruce Reid around the park for an unlikely English win, a banner appeared at the next game reading:

Reidy, you can contact Lamby on 466424 (or whatever the actual players and runs were).

Very amusing at the time.

I liked this one about the most hated cricketer in Australia since Jardine

Boring
Obnoxious
Yawnfull
Colourless
Onerous
Tiresome
Tedious

And during that summer when Australia played Australia A

I paid 35 bucks just to see Australia play with themselves.

regards,

REB

In saw one in the the 1987/88 season when New Zealand toured here.

The sign read "Hadlee will Crowe on the Border and declare Waugh"

One of the posters on this site!



My fave banner: "This is my mum's best sheet"

I'll claim that. Possibly one of my most inspired decisions.

The people at the Chappell bar weren't all that pleased when I stole several hundred cups to make the sign, but when I told then what I was doing they willingly donated to the cause.

completely the wrong sport but the girl around 16-17 at Telstra Dome this year by the Eagles bench for Essendon v West Coast, holding up the banner 'My mum loves big Cox'

Nothing will ever beat that, nothing

Another one, can't remember it exactly, but the game after this someone had a banner

"Reid, phone call for you. Ring 24624"

Not to sure what to make of this one but I remember this slogan "briefly" being allowed to be displayed at Adelaide Oval against South Africa in the 90's.

Hey Hansie, we can Snell your Fanie from here..

After Hansie Cronje, Richard Snell and Fanie DeVilliers
