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.

That's personal abuse..

So turning round and abusing one of the opposition is now masterful? The mind boggles...

That awkward moment when you think your own tripe is "masterful"

The worst ones are the best if you say stumps to the dumps and bails to Wales the batsman laugh at you but anything to put the batsman off right

The fat sledge clearly hit a nerve.

I find it interesting that most of the sledges posted are from people quoting themselves, none of which have been even remotely funny.

Not really, don't give a crap,if you think I'm fat now. Bet I was fitter than most people I'll ever play against pre knee injury and I'll be a darn sight richer too so enjoy working your whole life fella.

However, personal abuse isn't and shouldn't be acceptable. You wouldn't call a random person it at work and get away with it so why on a cricket field ?

Not sure the "I make more money than you do! Ner ner na ner ner" was needed.

True.

Money can't buy you happiness though fella although it can buy bats, cocaine and hookers, which is basically the same thing, stay humble

I know I'm fat and ugly. Still shag birds though...

It doesn't hit a nerve having people comment about my weight (it barely gets through my thick skin, let alone the layer of fat...) I just find it unnecessary for a total stranger to take digs about people's appearance/physique on a cricket pitch.
As Aidy (did I get your name right, @ProCricketer1982?) has said you wouldn't do it at work, or walking down the street, so whys it acceptable on a sports field?

[hanif]

when did best sledges turn into bragging about how much money you earn? @WalkingWicket37 anyone can pay for sex.

The cocaine and hookers line was clearly a joke...

Come on guys - lets not ruin another thread. Deep breaths!

I personally think people are a little precious these days (I'm 24 btw). I never give anywhere near as good as I get, but if you're out there then it's fair game. If you get offended, then the other person as won. I just laugh it off or ignore them. If family or others not on the field are brought into it, then I'm against that in its entirety, but otherwise it's all fair game (unless you are being obviously racist or derogatory)

What I will never understand is if you hit someone on the football field, as in punch them either in a fight or worse still, hit them unexpectedly, you simply get suspended from playing for a few weeks. If you did that in the real world you'd go to jail and have a criminal conviction. That is the real mind boggler for me. Why does the sport field lessen the law?
