TEAM EFFORT: Sri Lanka became the second team after Pakistan to make
successive World T20 finals. Their domination of the West Indies in the
semi-final was complete. A series of cameos first got them to 160. And then
what is arguably the most restrictive bowling unit in the tournament had the
West Indians tottering on 80/4 in 13.5 overs, when a massive hailstorm
prevented further cricket. Sri Lanka were declared winners by 27 runs by the
Duckworth-Lewis method. Yahoo:

This is all we could get from this game. Nothing to write, so
let me post you some of the best sledging on the cricket field.

In an
Ashes match Botham arrived at the wicket to a bit of cheek from the Aussie
keeper. Marsh: "So how's your wife and my kid's?". Botham: "Wife's fine. Kid's are retarded".

In the
1989 Ashes series Big Merv was giving Smith a few problems.After playing and missing a Merv delivery, Big Merv snapped: "You can't fucking bat". Next ball Smith proceeded to belt Hughes to the fence for four runs and replied: "Hey Merv! We make a good pair. I can't fucking bat and you can't fucking bowl!"

Glenn McGrath (bowling
to portly Zimbabwean chicken farmer Eddo Brandes):
"Hey Eddo, why are you so fucking fat?"
Eddo Brandes: "Because every time I fuck your mother, she throws me a
biscuit."

Cullinan
was well known as being a bit of a bunny to Warne's bowling. The 2 hadn't
played each other in some time so when Cullinan walked out to bat, Warne
couldn't resist heckling him: "I've
been waiting two years for another chance at you". Cullinan got him back with a ripper: "Looks like you spent it eating..."

During a test between Pakistan
and Australia in 1991 Miandad tried to sledge Merv: "Merv you are a big, fat bus conductor".
Only a few balls later Merv dismissed Miandad, ran past him and shouted: "Tickets please!".
Sledging is a
term used in cricket to describe the practice
whereby some players seek to gain an advantage by insulting or verbally intimidating the opposing player. Cricket is a very interesting
game, and sledging adds to it the extra
spice that make it much more than just game. Here is a compilation of
the some.. I am repeating this from my old file. If you find any similarity with some other post, it is just coincidence, not plagiarized.
If you like the post, give your opinion and share it. Thanks.
