The ICC today announced that it wants to get rid of sledging.
Hopefully, that means this sort of sledging, rather than this sort, which I find quite amusing.
In honour of the dark art of sledging, here are my three Favourite Ashes Sledges:
- “There’s no way you’re good enough to play for England”…”Maybe not, but at least I’m the best player in my family” – James Ormond replies to Mark Waugh, 2001
- “Mate, if you just turn the bat over you’ll find the instructions on the back” – Merv Hughes to Robin Smith, 1989
- “Hell, Gatt, move out of the way. I can’t see the stumps” – Dennis Lillee to Mike Gatting, 1994
