Healy & Atherton

Michael Atherton, on his first Tour to Australia was adjudged not out on a caught behind appeal.
At the end of the over Ian Healey walked by and announced "You're a f***ing cheat".
Athers replied very politely "When in Rome dear boy....."

That's a good one. ::LOL::

But my two favourite sledges are the following:

1. Ian Botham v. Rodney Marsh

Botham is walking out to bat in an Ashes Test.
Marsh "Hey Ian, how's your wife and my kids?"
Botham "Oh the wife's fine, but the kids are retarded". ::LOL::

2. Glen McGrath v. Eddo Brandes

Chicken farmer Eddo Brandes played only briefly for Zimbabwe and was a portly sort of fella.
McGrath "Hey Brandes, why are you so facking fat?"
Brandes "Because every time I fack your wife she gives me a cookie". ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

the McGrath/Sarwan exchange was the boss;

Okay Googs, you asked for it! 8)

McGrath kept baiting Sarwan throughout his innings calling him a "PuuCee".  It wasn't working so he tried something else.
McGrath "Sarwan, what does Brian Lara's dick taste like?"
Sarwan "I don't know, go ask your wife."
McGrath "If you mention my wife again, I'll rip your facking throat out!"

At the time of the incident, and unbeknownst to Sarwan, Jane McGrath was battling cancer.

Sarwan tell me he did see Brian with de chap wife late the night b4

For me Bro, the McGrath/Sarwan sledge wasn't good nor funny.  It was instant Karma for that arsehole McGrath but I wouldn't classify it as a classic/funny sledge because of how McGrath behaved after he got his arse handed to him.

The best sledges are the ones where both players walk away with a smile and the loser says "Touche".

Sunil Gavaskar decided to drop down to no.4 from his usual opening position.

Macco then proceeded to dismiss Gaekwad and Vengsarkar for no score.

When Gavvar came out to ,bat ViV Richards :

"Man it don't matter where you come in, the score is still zero!"

During a test between Pakistan and Australia in 1991 Javed Miandad tried to sledge Merv Hughes :

"Merv you are a big, fat bus conductor".

Only a few balls later Merv dismissed Javed, ran past him and shouted:

"Tickets please!"

Dennis Lillee had a sledge that he employed against many batsmen during his long cricket career.
  “I can see why you are batting so badly, you’ve got some shit on the end of your bat”
At this point the batsman would usually flip his bat over and examine the end, to which Lillee would respond
“Wrong end mate”

I will be using some of these....


  I’ve seen better batting in the shower
the only runs he gets is on the toilet
He’s fishing more than Andrew Symonds.
everyone hold on to something, this guy cant drive
I’ve seen better batters in a fish and chip shop
More leaves that a tree
swinging like a rusty gate
More blocks than a Lego factory
Like an old lady poking with her umbrella at a wasp’s nest
Beaten like a red-headed step son.
Watching you is making me a worse batsman.
You couldn’t score in a brothel.
if your parents seperated, would they still be brother and sister?
pass me the ball i have to pull all the splinters out of it
He’s bowling so slowly that if he doesn’t like a ball he can run after it and bring it back
