1. Rod Marsh & Ian Botham: When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh
welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: "So how's your wife &
my kids?"
2. Daryll Cullinan & Shane Warne: As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket,
Warne told him he had been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate
him. "Looks like you spent it eating," Cullinan retorted.
3. Glenn McGrath (bowling to portly Zimbabwean chicken farmer Eddo
Brandes): "Hey Eddo, why are you so f**ing fat?" Eddo Brandes: "Because
everytime I f*** your mother, she throws me a biscuit"
4. Robin Smith & Merv Hughes: During 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith
after he played and missed:"You can't f**king bat". Smith to Hughes after
he smacked him to the boundary: "Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can't
f**king bat & you can't f**king bowl."
5. Merv Hughes & Javed Miandad: During 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called
Merv a fat bus conductor. A few balls later Merv dismissed Javed: "Tickets
please", Merv called out as he ran past the departing batsman.
6. Merv Hughes & Viv Richards: During a test match in the West Indies,
Hughes didn't say a word to Viv, but continued to stare at him after
deliveries. "This is my island, my culture. Don't you be staring at me.In
my culture we just bowl." Merv didn't reply, but after he dismissed him he
announced to the batsman: "In my culture we just say f**k off."
7. And of course you can't forget Ian Healy's legendary comment which was
picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a
runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... "You
don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat c**t!!!"
8. James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was greeted
by Mark Waugh.......
MW : "**** me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here, there's
no way you're good enough to play for England"
JO :"Maybe not, but at least i'm the best player in my family"
9. McGrath to Ramnaresh Sarwan: "So what does Brian Lara's d*ck taste
like?"
Sarwan: "I don't know. Ask your wife."
McGrath (losing it): "If youever f*&king mention my wife again, I'll f*ing
rip your f*fing throat out."
10. Mark Waugh standing at second slip, the new player (Adam Parore)
comesto the crease playing & missing the first ball.
Mark - "Ohh, I remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were
sh*t then, you're fu*king useless now".
Parore- (Turning around) "Yeah, that's me & when I was there you were going
out with that old, ugly sl*t & now I hear you've married her. You dumb
c*nt".
11. Yet another Australian witticism with this time porky Sri Lankan
batsman Arjuna Ranatunga the victim. Shane Warne, trying to tempt the
batsman out of his crease mused what it took to get the plump character
toget out of his crease and drive. Wicketkeeper Ian Healy piped up, "Put a
Mars Bar on a good length. That should do it."
12. Ravi Shastri v/s the aussie 12th man (don't remember who, and don't
want to slander anyone ) Shastri hits it to this guy and looks for a
single...this guy gets the ball in and says "if you leave the crease i'll
break your f***ing head" Shastri: "if you could bat as well as you can talk
you wouldn't be the f***ing 12th man"
13. Malcolm Marshall was bowling to David Boon who had played and missed
acouple of times. Marshall: "Now David, are you going to get out now or am
I going to have to bowl around the wicket and kill you?"
14. Fred Trueman bowling. The batsman edges and the ball goes to first
slip, and right between Raman Subba Row's legs. Fred doesn't say a word. At
the end of the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises sheepishly. "I
should've kept my legs together, Fred". "So should your mother" he replied
