This isn't the best but it made me chuckle because of how bad it was.

"Harry Potter's got a new wand and he doesn't know how to use it."

Just Terrible.

I'm not gonna take credit for this one as it came from the mouth of one of our younger players (14) during a Sunday game but had us all in stitches

Opening batsman at the crease and had just been looking to heave one of our opening bowlers and failing to make contact with the first 4 balls of this particular over when all goes quiet.........."he's had more misses than Henry the eighth!!!"

We all fell about laughing.

I was batting last season,and I let a few go to the keeper outside offstump. Keeper shouted "good length, good length"- 1st slip shouted..."his mrs doesnt think so!"

Had me in stitches :)

I bat in my glasses so the inevitable 'let's get him put so he can get back to quidditch' or 'I didnt know Harry Potter played cricket' came out in junior cricket.

The fielders were the ones that got annoyed because I just laughed and shrugged my shoulders

i tend to find sledging my own team is better than the other team
there are that many jokes flying round between are own team hard to direct it at the oppersition

Post by: 19reading87 on April 22, 2011, 08:38:44 AM
I agree with simmy, I tend to complement the opposition if they do something as I would rather make friends than enemys and have a beer with them after. The only pi55 take/sledging is to my team mates. I do however get aggressive if they don't walk or are mouthy first...

Yeah, I have a bit of banter with my own lot ahead of the opposition! If they kick off though, I have a go back!

prefer something more original and witty

Yeah I don't tend to sledge at all, mainly because someone always get in there before me and because I don't have the talent to back the sledging up  :D

Love it when they give you some after scoring big runs best one was our old pro who had bashed a brutal 100..

One lad who has not scored a run in his life turned to him and said...

"I hope you do not teach the kids that".....

I think i actually got done with the best one i heard.
Batting was Frank Griffith, he just came into bat, and spend too long padding down some non existing holes in the pitch with his bat.
Me '' Hey Frank, want me to call out your groundsman to sort out the strip as your past your sell by date and we dont want any excuses''
Frank '' How about you lay down and i roll you along the wicket you fat git''

Even made me chuckle

(after a few swing n miss) - IN FOR A GOOD TIME, NOT A LONG TIME!

As much as I like being 'vocal' on a cricket pitch, I'll never say anything directly to the opposition in a nasty was unless they walk or are mouthy themselves. If I know people on the other team, like when we play Tom's team's then I'll pipe-up every now and then.

I was keeper first game of the season which was an inter-club game and me and first slip were ripping it out of the batsmen and must've talked 2 or 3 out lol. :D

One of the worst I have heard was after our opener smashed the bowler straight over his head over the sight screen for 6 the keeper piped up

Woahh lads huge top edge there
Title: Re: Best Sledges that you have heard or used !!!!!!!!
Post by: mattcoll12491 on April 22, 2011, 10:20:41 AM
One of the worst sledges I've heard was from our own wicket keeper, a batter's come in and played a glorious pull followed next ball by a cut. So our WK comes out with 'Come on lads he's only got one shot'. Everyone just stood there 'You really are thick as pig-s**t!'
Title: Re: Best Sledges that you have heard or used !!!!!!!!
Post by: roco on April 22, 2011, 10:24:00 AM
I had that to me last season from the same team the bowler bounced me then I pulled it for 6 and the keeper said

Straight across the line he can only slog

I'm also quiet behind the stumps. Even in league games I try to be nice to the batsman. In friendlies I throw a bit of light-hearted banter around.. :)
Though on Saturday, opening bat had blocked a few and midwicket (also 16 like me) - chirped: "He's had more blocks than Legoland."
Absolutely Cringeworthy... :(

I've done it before, talked to myself while batting, you get the occasional "are you schizophrenic?" and a decent enough reply is "nah, I'm just better conversation than you" or something like that!

One of the worst I have heard...

Batsman plays a bad shot...
Batsman "(No Swearing Please) sakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!"
Slip "Have you got tourettes?"
Batsman "No."
Slip "Sure sounds like it"
Batsman "I'd rather have tourettes than what you've got"
Slip: (getting angry now) "What have I got then?"
Batsman: "downs syndrome by the look of your face"

Cue the whole opposition fielders laughing at their own player and the guy storming off the field!

Remember a game a few years back and we were struggling so holding out for the draw seemed like the best option

And these were the lines I got

"More dots than an eastenders omnibus here lads"

"This guy has had more partners than Jordan"

In all honesty I just thought the guy was a t%$£t considering he got a first baller, but the dot one did bring a little chuckle !!!

Speaking of interteam banter we have a fines master and after every game he will fine every player for something they have said/done/worn or all of the above. It's a great way to bond after a game and the 2 or 3 quid from each person goes to the end of season Piss up!

On a slightly other note another thing I do as I stand at 1st slip is to count each throw from the keeper back around to the bowler. Every throw is 1p until someone drops it and they are fined what ever it's up to 50 throws is 50p.sometimes do 2 or 5p but we have a £5 cap on it.

It's funny that we don't play that game when I'm not at slip!

My personal favourite I heard was, we played a team and our opening bowler pinned there opening batsmen first ball of his spell, and the batsmen was on the floor and our bowler walked up to him and went you moan as well as your sister did last night, because he had been with her sister the night before

Has one last year, was batting and played and missed at a ball. Keeper chirps up, keep asking question, he ain't got an answer. Next ball hooked for 6, turned around, little smile 'hows that for an answer' Then went onto to hit 55 in a 122 stand.

Had one where a team were feeding me on my legs and i was just picking them off, keepers says 'Haven't seen a shot on the off yet guys' Next ball creamed through the covers for 4, didn't run just turned around a smiled

This sledge ended up being said by a scorer after he had forgotten that the tannoy system was still switched on in a friendly match. The batter to which it was aimed at was not best pleased to say the least! Haha

not sure if I have mentioned this on one of the other threads, but I was playing a game against a young batsman who needed to keep talking to everyone and anyone to help his concentration, he couldn't stop, after every ball he would try and start up a conversation with someone (all good natured.)

After he had got a decent 50, I wandered over to the keeper and skipper and suggested that that we adopt a total mute strategy and not to say anything while he batted. He was out shortly afterwards and had to walk past me back to the pavilion - as I said well played/bad luck he asked me why we had stopped talking to him, he was more upset about that than getting out... (I explained why in the bar afterwards)
