Played a very good team yesterday, they were relegated from Div 1 last season and should go straight back up. After scoring 50 midweek I was asked to open, which I love normally.
They were on me from ball 1. The bowling was good and came on nicely, but they were round the bat and all over me after posting 265.
As a keeper, I'm normally one to try get a reaction and walked straight into it. Some of it was borderline personal abuse which I don't mind, but was uncalled for. Not happy at all. Could have been pressure as all I could think about whilst keeping, was batting. Livid with myself for letting them get to me.
Anyone else had this recently?

Who you play mate?
-
Market Drayton, not a nice bunch either mate. Skipper was ok, but a few of them were proper bastards
-
Played them before and they like to chat even though there not that good at it but they've had a couple of players in so may be the new boys
Played yesterday and got called f this f that was quite funny

They just did my head in Roco. I can normally shut it out but got into a slanging match. Didnt help that their short extra catching was giving me all sorts, he dropped me, then said dont (No Swearing Please) smile at me.
I then said you're the one chatting mate and dropped a dolly, who's the mug now. Didnt help my cause haha.
Still, we got the 2 best teams out the way in the last 2 weeks so hopefully we can crack on, get a full strength team out and play like we can :)
You knockin boys are a great bunch, always nice to play you guys

I got that a few times last Saturday. Never did come, which frustrated them even more.

Love that Simmy!
I won't bite if fielders are giving me jip because its pointless, but I always react to bowlers chat, just because I know they have to walk back to their mark... plus they aren't usually that good with chat!

That's because you haven't got any big shots Nick :)

Actually this worked for us over this weekend. We were playing SM40 in Finland Div2. We knew the guy loves to whack the ball as hard as he can. Spinner was operating and 3 dots, we started saying big shot coming boys and he tried to play a solid defence and got out giving a catch to 1st slip :D

If the batsman misses a couple of drives, I like to pipe up with "put your seatbelts on boys, this guy can't drive!" Usually gets a chuckle... :D
-
The best retort to banter/sledging is hitting runs, soon shuts them up.

We've recently added "he's clearly bowling a marble" to our long line of comedy one liners.
It's really well humored and we mainly share a joke with the oppo.

Love it, I usually chime in with give him the keys get him driving etc

Has anyone else been anti sledged?
Just wondering as this happened to me on the weekend, after going in at 10, and managing to out score most of the top order, think we were on about 70 when I went in, I heard from the slips "What's this guy doing at 10 after some of the (No Swearing Please) they sent in above him?". This had the effect of giving me a boost of confidence for the next ball, which I duly edged straight to 1st slip to wrap up our innings .
I couldn't help but think after I was out that I never would have chased that wide ball if they hadn't said that.
