Cricket Sledges

[The Coon Dog]

What are some of the better sledges you have heard?

Warnies to Paul Collingwood was gold last Summer when he asked him how he felt getting an MBE the previous season whilst making only 7 runs in the Ashes. And this whilst Warnie was batting!

I also loved Ian Healy's sledge to Arjuna Ranatunga when he wanted a runner because he was tired. Healy was clearly heard saying you can't have a runner, just because you're a fat ****!

Good thread.

What was the one with Warne and IIRC another Sri Lankan who retorted that he'd been screwing Warne's wife or mother?

And Steve Waugh's all time classic (which S African player was it to?):

"You've just dropped the World Cup".

Shane Watson copped a beauty at the World Cup just after his girlfriend had run off with Tom Williams. Pieterson had just smashed him out of the ground for the upteenth time. Watson had a go him and KP came backi with "Never mind, if we lose the ball we can send your girlfriend to go and find it-I hear she's good at finding balls"

For some inexplicable reason I constantly confuse JK for HG. It's a mental block I've got.

To Zimbabwe's Endo Brandes
"Endo, how'd you get so fat?"

"Every time a ****ed your mother, she gave me a biscuit"




Vivi was batting at Somerset on a damp pitch under overcast skies and some typical Pommie pie-chucker beat the bat a few times.
"Viv, it's red, round and weighs 5 1/2 ounces"

Viv puts the next one into the Taunton River.
"You know what it looks like, you go get it".



Mark Waugh to James Crawley as Crawley comes in to bat in his first test.
"What are you doing here? You're not good enough to play for England"

"Perhaps not, but at least I'm the best player in my family".

Not a sledge but more of a great comment bought on by frustration.



One day match at the MCG in '83 (I think) Lance Cairns was thrashing Lillee and Alderman all over the park with that shoulderless bat he was using. He'd hit six sixes in the space of ten balls and the last one was a one handed swat that almost hit the electronic scoreboard in the Northern stand. Lillee responded with a flat out beamer and Greg Chappell said to him "Come on FOT, let's get serious" **** him" said Lille "If he's not going to bat properly then I'm not going to bowl properly"
