I like it lol

[19reading87]

Yer it was very good!! They said it to me but then the next 3 balls I cut one for 4, pulled one for 6 and then cover drove one for 4. I turned round winked and said that it was a good song lol

[Mr Cricket]

on sunday, somebody said "this lad cant play the outswinger"... then proceeded to rip out my off pole with a snorter, case closed - good banter!

[Liam-SCCC]

I got told to fu*k off a couple of weeks ago, played against a team from bournemouth. They are basically a bunch of young cocky pikeys. I knew this so said nothing to them when i went out to bat. I ignored all banter and got on with batting. I got out turn and headed for the pavilion and was told to fu*k off by the bowler. I turned around and said if there was any need for it and he didn't even admit it.

It reallys annoys me. Every team in the league has had a run in with that team.

brilliant!
a couple of sundays ago a similar thing happened to us, this bat's main scoring shot was guiding it to third man region. me and a mate started singing the chorus to one shot by jls,
he then plays his shot and gets it past my mate for 4 "i might only have one shot but its good enough for you!"
friendly banter alround said with smiles

got to love a bit of sledging!

one that sticks in my mind was a few years ago..

We are playing a league match and this guy is playing and missing and we are giving him some abuse.. he turns round and says "Ive come down to devisions to play this standard to help them out"

next ball he was out

so bowler comes down wicket and goes

"looks like you need to drop down a few more cock"

"looks like you need to drop down a few more cock"

The thing is there is absolutely no need for this kind of a send off... it isn't funny, I would apologise to the batsman if someone from my team said that.

havn't heard much on field banter this season, apart from one game where the opposition's south african overseas player heard my team mates call me by my nickname 'bucchy'. i walk out to open the batting and he's calling me bucchy after every shot, 'head over the ball bucchy!' 'lets send bucchy back then lads!'. untill i hit a 17 ball 35 before being caught behind

I agree with buzz on that, the bowler has proved his point, no need for the send off.

Kind of banter from this sundays game, playing a team by the name of staplegrove, a very good team who its always fun to play against them. they hit 248 and one of their guys hit a nice 102 (not suprising when he played for their prem team)

so Im in at 6, not much banter about the helmet and an old friend of mine inspecting the COR3 thinking it was the MMi3 (like most people do haha). A couple overs in their guy who scored 102 goes to me "you know your still on 0 dont you?" for a bit of a laugh. Next ball i drive past mid wicket for 4, my partner tells me to ask them who Im on now, their responce was quite good: "your still 97 behind me"! of course, its actully 98 haha

next over comes and they decide to have some fun, I am a heavy leg side batsman, and they used to when I came in stack the leg side with 8-9 guys, first ball goes over to cow for 4, though I would have some banter then with them: "you guys might wana put someon on the boundaries", next one is pulled over square for 4, quite liking it, about 3 balls later a skidder got me out, came back in and being it was a kid I though I would say it was a nice delivery, the boy had a laugh at it, to which I joking said "well it was....if it didnt skid"

always nice when you get banter from guys you know and its all taken as a joke

ok it isnt funny if ur the batter but 90% of are team found it funny..

and so what? if hes gonna give it the big i am he should be able to take it on the chin and back it up

[alexrickyponting]

tbf he was asking for it

[ProWannabe88]

the majority of batsmen in our league are like that!!
and some of the sledging gets very out of hand but its all fun and games.
i am one of the gobby gits but i just like to see if someone will bite... they usually do

We they actually laughing or was it a nervous, embarassed laugh caused by people who don't want to upset the big "fast" bowler who was being a moron?
If you have any sort of talent, there really is no place for a send off and you should have the confidence in yourself and your ability to know and say that.

and from the description he wasn't asking for it.

Ask Micheal Holding or (if you could) Malcolm Marshall if they ever gave anyone a send off.

There has only ever been one truly memorably send off and that was the Fat Bus Conductor one between Merv and Sunny Gavaskar.

[Simmy]

Buzz by the sounds of things mate .. you must still play cricket as a gentlemans sport and it cant be very competative if you think a send of is not worthy

or maybe are league is just full of C**ts
