Exactly! When I read that I felt so glad I wasn't playing cricket today. Which is sad really.

As I said in the post in the past, anyway I really do think you need to wake up and smell the coffee, all that is is banter, it maybe crap, but that it nothing offensive or abusive which still massively goes on in the game today. And if you think it doesn't you are definitely mistaken.

No, I need to go to sleep. Permanently. To get away from this nonsense.

When did I say it didn't?  Indecent exposure isn't an acceptable crime just because it isn't rape.

Eh? Bit extreme comparing crap chat on a cricket pitch to sexual crimes mate.

I'm fully with you that abusive "sledging" is a complete stain on the recreational game but the banter, and yes some of it is dire, is a fun part of the day.

Seriously, we’re counting asking a batsman which chocolate bar is better as sledging these days? Wow.

I think anyone who goes in to a game with rehearsed sledges should face a serious fine and a ban.

Once I opened, guys in the slips started chatting, " he's not middled anything"  next ball was hit for 4, towards mid wicket. I said "that was the middle of my bat!"  this is fun, nothing wrong with it.

Fielders trying to confuse by saying " he's not sure where the ball pitched!" I said straight away "I middled it, man 😀

Anyone that plans sledges and rehearses them is a total idiot. If that's the only plan you have to upset a batsman I suggest you are (No Swearing Please) at cricket and need to have a look at yourself.

Well this thread is an absolute shower, isn't it.

My advice to the bloke who's had to ask for sledging tips online:
Shut the f*ck up and play the game in the right spirit.
