Forward mails can be a real pain but at times they do bring in some smiles. I recently got this forward message regarding cricket which I thought of sharing... Enjoy
The Sledging in Cricket .. You thought cricket was gentleman's game think again...
Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11 Eddo Brandes - who was unable to get his bat anywhere near the ball. McGrath, frustrated that Brandes was still at the crease, wandered up during one particular over and inquired: " Why are you so fat?" Quick as a flash, Brandes replied: "Because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit ." Even the Aussie slip fielders were in hysterics.
Ian Healy's made a legendary comment which was picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga
called for a runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... " You don't get a runner for being an overweig
unfit, fat c*nt!"
Its common knowledge that Indian's usually don't resort to sledging, and the Aussies swear by it. In this rare ocassion the
tables had turned and it was the Aussies who were at the receiving end.
Shastri hits the ball towards Mike Whitney (the 12th man in the game) and looks for a single, this guy gets the ball in and
says
Whitney: " If you leave the crease i'll break your f***ing head"
Shastri didn't bat an eyelid before replying : " If you could bat as well as you can talk you wouldn't be the f***ing 12th man "
During 1989 Lords Test, Merv Hughes said to Robin Smith after he played and missed: " You can't f*cking bat".
Simth replied, both with the bat and with words, he smashed Hughes to the boundry and said "Hey Merv, we make a fine pair
I can't f*cking bat and you can't f*cking bowl ."
In one of the tour matches in South Africa, Australia played Hansie Cronje's province. Cronje was at the non strikers end,
there was a short chubby batsman on strike.
Ian Healy yelled to Warne, " Bowl a Mars Bar half way down...We'll get him stumped"
The Aussies and Cronje were all in hysterics, all this was before a classic reply from the batsman.
The exact words: "Nah, Boonie (David Boon) fielding at short leg will be onto it before I can move."
James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was greeted by MarkWaugh��..
Mark : " F*ck me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here, there's no way you're good enough to play for England "
James: "Maybe not, but at least i'm the best player in my family "
England were playing Pakistan and, at what turned out to be a crucial moment later on, Frank Tyson managed to get an
outside edge off a Pakistani batsman after the batsman had been frustrating them on a hot sweaty day. The ball went right
through the hands of Raman Subba Rao who was standing in first slip and through his legs. After the over Raman heads
over to the bowler and says, "Sorry Frank, I should've closed my legs." Frank Tyson, who didn't find any of this amusing,
quipped back, " No, you bastard, your mother should have ."
Boys in blue or just boys..
