As the title states, some classic sledges worth having a laugh at;
Viv Richards & Greg Thomas
In a county match in England, Thomas was bowling to Richards and getting a few to whizz past the bat. After Richards played and missed another one, Thomas said: "It's red, it's round. Now f***** hit it!". This obviously angered Richards who proceeded to hit the next ball out of the ground. Richards: "You know what it looks like now go and get it."
Mark Waugh & James Ormond
James Ormond came out to bat in a match with Australia. Mark Waugh, at slip, let rip: “F*** me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here? There’s no way you’re good enough to play for England.” Ormond replied: "Maybe so, but at least I'm the best player in my family".
Daryll Cullinan & Shane Warne
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..."
Jamie Siddons & Steve Waugh
In a Sheffield Shield match Steve Waugh was taking his time getting ready to face his first ball. Taking guard, scratching out his mark, looking at the field settings. Jamie Siddons decided enough was enough and remarked: "For f***'s sake, mate, it's not a f***** test match!". To which Waugh replied: "Of course it's not... You're here".
Ian Healy & Arjuna Ranatunga
The Australians were getting frustrated while trying to get the wicket of the portly Arjuna Ranatunga of Sri Lanka. Various tactics were tried and failed until Healy came up with a winner: "Put a Mars Bar on a good length and that should do it!".
Merv Hughes & Javed Miandad
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!"
Robin Smith & Merv Hughes
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 f****** 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 f****** bat and you can't f****** bowl!".
Rod Marsh & Ian Botham
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 kids?". Botham: "Wife's fine. Kids are retarded"
