Greg Thomas to Vivian Richards: _"It's round, red, and about 5 ounces if you were wondering."_
Vivian Richards to Greg Thomas: *Promptly hits the ball out of the park, and into the river* _"You know what it looks like. Go find it."_
Best......Sledge......Ever!
Matt prior: thank you. No one team is any worse than any other.
mark nicholas is very articulate and concise with his thoughts
Prior went to the wrong meeting, the other two are a class above....
Sledging is a tactic and near essential part of the game.
The strongest, talented and most unruffled team wins.
The overuse or severity of it should be and probably is an unwritten law amongst players but I’d go the other way and have it heard by the public which in turn would keep it at a respectable level and I must add no doubt entertaining.
Too many snowflakes in this day and age.
My only question with your argument here is, who gets to define what's respectable and what's not. Please bear in mind that not all the players on the ground come from the same culture or even money, what's acceptable at some place may not be acceptable elsewhere. And when this line is crossed, trouble starts. We have seen this line crossed time and again by players, mostly Australians.
What is matt prior doin in that frame!!!!
What u r doing in the comment section
It's better than Bcci Murali karthik or Aakash chopra
What the fook is Prior doing there? lol seriously....!
Prior played more than 70 tests you forgot?
What u r doing in the comment section
Prior was an excellent player, and was symbolic in turning England into the best team in the world.
A wicket keeper with a plus 40 average. He'd make most teams.
He is answering questions.
He played on the era of sledging .....
4 Aussies debut in the India tour Aus 1985.
Bruce Reid, Geoffrey Marsh, Merv Hughes, Steve Waugh.
Bad behaviour can be expected from all Aussies, but my 1st guess is Waugh & 2nd guess Hughes.
Anyone knows who is Sunny talking about?
The Xbox point is quite valid.
Gavaskar was a far better Cricketer than Botham and 100 times better human being
for fuck's sake he was pulling his leg get over it
this is why people have such a bad opinion about indians because of keyboard warriors like you who don't understand a joke and take everything personally, lighten up
What is the evidence for this? Let's keep personal attacks out of this.
No comparison . Botham was entertainment . Sunny was a class act. You love both but if I want someone to play for my life it would definitely be Sunil Gavaskar.
A much better batsmen, a much better sulk, too. Not a much better bowler.
Sunny summed it up well. Let the bat and ball do the talking. Full stop ... whether it is being picked up with microphones and sent all over the world or not.
What a bloody hypocrite...…….what about the day he spat the dummy and wanted to umpire the game. He's FOS
@@ronbr1000 You are being racist.
Gavaskar was the best.
What is prior doing there?
Sledging is only bad when you can't handle it ... Botham said it himself, there are some players you don't sledge because they would tear you apart while others go back to their laptop and look up terms they were called and mentally they were spent ... one less wicket to worry about ... it's just words, the old sticks and stones, it won't destroy you ... if they sledge, they're trying to get into your head ... funny thing is it means you're already in theirs so game on, it's not that hard
Prior is the Bernie Ecclestone of this group.
Sledging has a place in cricket and it should be there.But the thing is it should be used tactically and not necessarily everytime.The primary purpose is to get the batsman out.But it should also be taken into consideration that overuse of it makes the team doing it weak.It is taking easy way out.When a batsman goes after the bowler naturally the bowler will show aggression but there should be some restriction on the verbal abuse on the field.No batsman deserves to be roasted like that.As far as clapping is concerned after someone scores 50 who does that?How many times has Gavaskar clapped after someone has scored a 50?The opposition claps only when someone has played a really tough knock on a good pitch.
There is a difference between banter and abuse. A bit of healthy banter is good for cricket but any kind of verbal abuse is not acceptable at all.
What do they say to each other in a rugby union scrum?
Botham doesn't think that much of Gavaskar. He can barely say that Gavaskar is 'one of the greats'.
Who cares? Gavaskar is a legitimate titan of cricket.
What? Botham has written (through a ghost writer, no doubt) that he thinks Gavaskar is the best batsmen he ever played against, after Viv (obviously).
@utkarsh sankrityayan. Botham was deeply respectful of Gavaskar. A photo of the late 70-s.

Watch part 1 where Sunny talks about their time together at Somerset...
That’s not correct. I have heard beefy talk about Sunny with great admiration ..
Wow. Ian Botham is so full of himself. Was a great player. But would've been nice to see a bit of modesty in him.
Botham talks of self policing and having a beer at the bar together at end of day to handle this. We all know what happened at the bar with him and Ian Chappel. So cocky and full of himself.
Sunny pretty much ran out of his leg length :D
So right 'Beefy'....! The world on a whole is losing its human touch. Human to human interaction gives you such a broader perspective of things it naturally channels to to being a better human. So much kids live their lives now indoors glued to electronic devices for sure that can't be healthy to ones personality
The 'English' speaking countries has almost the monopoly for this sledging because it needs to be creative to mentally breakdown the opposite side by words. It is much more difficult to sledge in a language that is different to your own mother-tongue. Non-English speaking has less number of players who can sledge more effectively. There is also cultural aspects. Like talking something bad about your parents is much more painful thing to hear for people in Indian subcontinent. It is something like saying something race/skin color in English.
Gavaskar did not sledge,,,,,,,,,,,he just ordered his partner off the ground when he got a decision he didn't agree with.................ah yes Sunny the spirit of cricket.....wanker
Yes, why should he not, when this great D Lillee was clearly cheating...one rule for Aussie and another for all else. All that one sided stuff, is over mate😉 ...give as good as you get👍
Aussies want to cheat, push players & expect spirit of cricket.
What lillee tried with Sunny, your players should try with the current Indian team, if they have the cojones.
Miandad was right to pick a bat on Lillee.
Convicts.
