one of my favourites did involve a leg spinning forum member bowling to one of our batsmen who kept sweeping (it was his only shot against spin) and he will tell you better but it was something like "there is an offside you beeping know" to which our bat I think said (after sweeping another one from a foot outside off) "I don't need it"

Am I correct in thinking I know who this would be @roco ??

This is going back a few years. I was batting and the bowler was keeping it tight. Wicket keeper was giving him encouragement after each ball with 'good length'. After the fourth ball and the same 'good length' from the keeper, the slip shouted ' his wife doesn't think so!'. Had me in stitches

A sledge that backfired for an old team mate was when I was playing my old team in a cup final. He edged the ball just past the keeper and I gave chase from slip.  Seeing it was me going after it, he shouted very much tongue in cheek 'oh it's Kenny no worries for 2'...
As he came back for 2 I unleashed one of my finest throws and ran him out with a direct hit from 50 yards!

I remember a sledge backfiring other year to the point the fielder got their "dick of the day" jumper

I hit a six onto a side wall of a building to which the fielder shouts "can't you clear that you big girl I did it mis hitting" next ball I cleared the building and the trees behind it

Haha

Idiotic, childish and outright cheating. Your captain must have the morals of Ian Huntley if he upheld the appeal for that

Had a similar situation to this Ken, my batting partner hit the ball into the outfield and shouted 'two to him hes got a crap arm' about the 13 year old fielder sweeping the boundary. I know the guy and he wouldnt have meant it nastily, he was basically thinking out loud. Opposition captain rightly blew his lid and took his team off the field. I was showered and changed before a truce was called and we went back on where we eventually knocked off the remaining runs. Needless to say my batting partner was made to apologise and we actually got on very well with the skipper in question for the next few years

Hit a six into a neighbouring car park once and was offered 20 quid by the keeper if I did it again and hit a car... Hit a car next ball, never heard a chatty keeper go quiet so quickly!

I know you re getting stick for this and you shouldn't need anyone to tell you that it is wrong and very unsporting doing things like this!
But probably good time to start being a bit more sporting and turn over a new leaf this season fella?

One of the keepers in our league does that. It is extremely annoying! It didn't get us out though ...just made us more determined to put up a big score.
