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!

Hahahahahha

A former West Indian fast bowler (short career) was giving the "glare" to a struggling batsman. After a few deliveries of being glared at the batsman said, "so...a third rate club league in the US - is this where sh*tty Test cricketers come to die?".. got a few chuckles out of the fielders, as well as a bruised rib

I just don't think that giving lip to a fast bowler is a good idea.

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.

Tbh, I'd be surprised if there isn't a law against unsporting behaviour or something.. I'd expect an umpire to penalise any team doing this Type of thing as it's very unsporting.

I thought there was a law against imitating the batsmen as a fielder to try to get a run out

I think the topic was raised on one of those "you are the ump" pages on the guardian website

Alternatively if both batsman arent looking and turn for another shout "great arm" has worked a couple of times to stop another run, causes some hesitation even when the fielder hasnt picked it up yet

That's not as bad but still under hand, shouting that when it's been thrown (even badly) is fine

Barely underhand! If the batsman aren't looking it's their fault! You'll be saying the bowler making the same effort noise for his quicker and slower balls will be underhand next!

Slightly different but if you can't see that then there is no hope.

Last season, when a really poor batsman kept swinging wildly at our tweaker's long hops "jeez guys, he's missed more cuts than Tiger Woods". 

The season before, a somewhat chunky batsman blocking the crap outta it "chuck him up a lamb bhna, no way he'll resist that".

Slower ball grunting is incredibly village. Grunting at all is poor behaviour tbh, we don't play women's tennis!

One of the favourites when I was a Colt was when a batsmen blocked a lot and there was a shout of "he's got more blocks than legoland" hahaha

In reference to a team mates bowling, said by a spectator. 'Whats he still bowling for, hes spraying it around like a mad womens p*ss'. Always gets a mention when we see fit.

This is absolutely getting said this summer!! A genuine laugh out load moment!!

[OllieWalker39]

My favourite was when a keeper shouted out "Ooooh I heard something there!"

I was nowhere near that ball - was a bit too good for me in honesty! So I turned round, and retorted with "The only thing you heard was your legs brushing together you fat b**tard" - Masterful.
