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".

My favourite Fred Trueman one

After the ball which Raman Subba Row had dropped off Fred Trueman's bowling had gone for four
Subba Row: I'm sorry about that, it might have been better if I had kept my legs together.
Truemman: Aye, it's a pity your mother didn't!

Jimmy Anderson to Michael Hussey...

During one Ashes series he would refer to Mike Hussey as Dave, his brother.

When he saw him in the morning, it'd be: "Morning Dave." After a delivery: "Shot, Dave." Mid-innings: "Keep going, Dave."

Eventually, Hussey snapped and replied: "I'm not Dave. I'm Mike."

Anderson just smiled: "Sorry, Dave."
 
My favourite...

In a Sheffield Shield match Steve Waugh was taking his time getting ready to face his first ball. Taking guard, scratching out his mark, looking at the field settings. Jamie Siddons decided enough was enough and remarked: "For fuck's sake, mate, it's not a fucken test match!". To which Waugh replied: "Of course it's not... You're here".

Bairstow is quoted today on BBC text, that was nothing to do with the headbutt carry on

He said it "crosses line" and he will "take matters further", if it "crossed the line again"

Mysterious then.

Not exactly a sledge unless backchat to the umpire counts, but Trueman is also credited with an exchange as follows (although it sounds so perfect it could be an urban legend...)

Trueman was absolutely all over a particular batsman one time, bowling fast and unplayable. He gets what he thinks is a plumb LBW, the umpire says not out, he gets what he thinks is a definite edge caught behind, the umpire says not out, he gets him to hit it up in the air to be caught and the umpire says a no ball. Trueman is naturally frustrated because he doesn’t think he’s getting the rub of the green against a batsman who is clearly all over the place against him. Next ball he comes in, definitely no hint of a no ball in where his feet land, perfect line and length, bowls him clean through and rips all his stumps out. Trueman doesn’t even appeal, just turns and walks back and mutters at the umpire as he goes “I nearly got the bastard that time, didn’t I?”

Another Fred Trueman one...

Billy Ibadulla struggling against Fred; edge through slips, inside edge to long leg, bottom edge attempted pull and then another edge through slips to which Fred said "you've got more edges than a broken pisspot" :lol:

Yes and it's so difficult to look there though, before posting g a cricket thread on the SMB forum?

A lot who have replied on here, post on there.

That was the whole point of having a cricket forum, to discuss things in there

Not difficult
