Top 10 Greatest Cricket Sledges Of All-Time: Sledging can be different things.
Most sledding happens on the field, but a few have become famous stories in the game.
Here are the top ten greatest sledges ever.
Cricket Sir Viv Richards vs Greg Thomas
During a County Cricket match for Somerset, Sir Viv Richards faced Glamorgan paceman Greg Thomas. After missing a few balls, Thomas taunted Richards by saying, “It’s red, round, and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering.” Richards then hit the next ball out of the ground and replied, “Greg, you know what it looks like. Now go and find it.”
Cricket Adam Gilchrist vs Mohammad Kaif
In the fourth Test of Australia’s tour of India in 2004, Adam Gilchrist thought Mohammad Kaif had gloved a ball behind. The umpire ruled him not out, which annoyed Gilchrist. He told Kaif, “The whole world is watching, Champ.”
Cricket Andrew Flintoff vs Tino Best
In a Test match at Lord’s in 2004, Andrew Flintoff teased Tino Best by saying, “Mind those windows, Tino.” Best tried to hit the next ball hard, missed, and was stumped. Flintoff had the last laugh.
Denis Lillee vs Batsmen
Aussie fast bowler Dennis Lillee had a classic line for many batsmen: “I can see why you are batting so badly, you’ve got some s**t on the end of your bat.” When the batsman would check the bat, Lillee would add, “Wrong end mate.”
Robin Smith vs Merv Hughes
Robin Smith and Merv Hughes often faced off. Once, after Smith missed a ball, Hughes said, “You can’t find a bat.” Smith hit the next ball for a boundary and replied, “Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can’t find the bat and you can’t f***ing bowl.”
Daryll Cullinan vs Shane Warne
Shane Warne once told Daryll Cullinan, “I’ve been waiting two years to humiliate you.” Cullinan replied, “Looks like you spent it eating.”
Fred Trueman vs Batsmen
Fred Trueman, a Yorkshireman, once told an Australian batsman, “Don’t bother shutting the gate, son, you won’t be there long enough.” He also told a teammate, “So should your mother,” after an error.
Shane Warne vs Everyone
Shane Warne once mocked Paul Collingwood, saying, “You got an MBE for scoring seven at the Oval? That’s embarrassing.” He also nicknamed Ian Bell “the Sherminator.”
Mark Boucher vs Tatenda Taibu
During a Test match, Mark Boucher kept distracting Tatenda Taibu with comments. Taibu was eventually caught by Boucher for 13 runs.
Jimmy Ormond vs Mark Waugh
In the 2001 Ashes series, Mark Waugh told Jimmy Ormond, “There’s no way you’re good enough to play for England.” Ormond replied, “Maybe not, but at least I’m the best player in my family.”
