Why has the term "sledging" only come about relatively recently?
I'm not naive (doesn't look like that's spelled right), I'm sure winding each other up has gone on since the first clonk of cork on willow, but it seems to have been ramped up a fair bit.

Maybe they're just making more of it

The term has been around as long as I can remember, I don't think it's a new thing,

 

[Keawyeds]

The replies are sometimes the best.

Marsh "How's your wife and my kids"?

Botham "The missus is fine, the kids are f***ing retards"

Ooof!

Hopefully nout about his father

That's what I suspect!

 

[Brexit]

The implication is that it’s about his dad topping himself

Whether that’s true or not, who knows

That's what I first thought when I read his comments.

 

[Keawyeds]

Convict twats - thats very much uncalled for. As already said sledging is a subtle art but being personal is a kernts trick imo.

There are some subjects that you just don't push people on.
That's beyond the line

Dennis lillee "I can see why your batting so badly, you've got some shit on the end of your bat"

Batsman flips the bat to look at the end

Lille "wrong end mate"

The Viv Richards one

some bowler was giving him shit after a few played and misses "Oi, Viv. It's red, shiny and weighs six ounces"

The next ball Richards smacks him out of the ground for six. "Hey, you know what the ball looks like so go find it"

Shane Warne: "Daryll, I've been waiting years for the chance to embarrass you again."

Daryll Cullinan: "Really? It looks like most of the time you spent eating."

Whether that’s true or not, who knows

That is when its too far! No need for that, take the piss etc but nothing that personal

 

[Brexit]

What was the one about somebody getting called a fat bus conductor only to get the person out and run past shouting "tickets please"?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Obviously we don’t know if true

 

[Dinsdale]

The art of subtly putting the opposition off is perfectly fine. Its up to the batsman to have the mental toughness not to be distracted and for the umpires to intervene when it crosses the line. We have one or two ourselves who aren't afraid to bump their gums (Broad and Stokes when available) so imo we can't complain when the Aussies do it.

One of the earliest pieces of sledging I've heard about was WG Grace refusing to walk for an LBW telling the umpire the crowd were there to watch him bat, not him umpire

I reckon they are just chuntering with no craic at all.

Merv Hughes getting smacked all over the field off Richards, walks halfway down the crease, knocks out a massive fart and says let's see you knock that out to the boundary

 

[ned_werby]

Glenn McGrath: "Why are you so fat?"

Eddoe Brandes: "Because every time I fuck your wife she gives me a biscuit"

 

[Boz33]

Merv Hughes was all over Gooch in one test and proceeded to say: "Would you like me to bowl a piano and see if you can play that".

Aussie batsman was walking onto the field, opened the gate and before he could shut it, Trueman remarked: "Don't bother shutting it, son, you won't be there long enough".

 

[Porridge]

Mark Waugh to Jimmy Ormond: “Fuck me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here?There’s no way you’re good enough to play for England.”

Jimmy Ormond to Mark Waugh: “Maybe not, but at least I’m the best player in my family.”
