McGrath – Brandes & McGrath – Sarwan, looks too awkward.
Sachin-Abdul Qadir is classic example, what should be done or rather what should not be done.
Steve Waugh should be stupid to dare Ambrose.
Miandid – Lillee, no comments.

But I’ll rate, Prasad – Sohail the best, it is rare incident where the bowler is being sledged at and gets the better of the batsman in the next ball.

Some more sledging.

Fred Trueman and Raman Subba Row
Fielder Subba Row let an edge off Trueman’s bowling slip through his legs. Fred didn’t say a word initially but at the end of the over, Row approached Trueman and apologised sheepishly. “I should’ve kept my legs together, Fred”. “So should your mother,” he replied.

Merv Hughes & Javed Miandad
During 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called Merv a fat bus conductor. Having dismissed Javed a few balls later Merv gleefully called out “Tickets please,” as he ran past the departing batsman.

Daryll Cullinan & Shane Warne
As Cullinan strode out to bat, Warne told him he had been waiting two years for another chance to humiliate him. “Looks like you spent it eating,” Cullinan replied.

Robin Smith & Merv Hughes
Smith had played and missed to Hughes during a Lords Test, prompting Hughes to taunt: “You can’t f***ing bat”. Smith smacked Hughes to the boundary a few balls later and shouted: “Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can’t f***ing bat & you can’t f***ing bowl.”

Aussie fan and Phil Tufnell
Fielding on the boundary whilst on tour in Australia, England spinner felt the sledging wit of an Australian spectator: “Tufnell! Can I borrow your brain? I’m building an idiot.”

Malcolm Marshall and David Boon
Malcolm Marshall was bowling to David Boon who had played and missed a couple 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?”

James Ormond and Mark Waugh
James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was greeted by Mark Waugh…….
Waugh : “F*ck 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 : “Maybe not, but at least I’m the best player in my family”

Rod Marsh & Ian Botham
When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: “So Ian, how’s your wife……and my kids?”

Merv Hughes & Viv Richards
During a test match in the West Indies, Hughes at the end of every delivery would stare at Richards without saying a word. After a few of these stares, Richards chides Merv saying “This is my island, my culture. Don’t you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl.” Merv didn’t reply, but sure enough, had him dismissed and announced to the batsman: “In my culture we just say f**k off.”

Sunil Gavaskar
Once, during the tour of West Indies, a young bowler was trying to get under Gavaskar’s skin by sledging. Gavaskar, a senior player retorted “Son, don’t waste time sledging at me. I have been sledged at more often than you have taken a piss”.

Viv Richards v Greg Thomas
This incident took place during a county championship match between Glamorgan and Somerset. Glamorgan paceman Thomas had beaten Richards’ bat a couple of times and informed him: “It’s red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering.”

The very next ball Sir Vivian Richards gave him the royal treament and smashed the ball out of the ground, into a nearby river – at which point he piped up: “Greg, you know what it looks like. Now go and fetch it.”
