Best sporting sledges

We hear many of these over the years but often forget them. I'm hoping that this blog will give us a laugh and bring back some memories. Here's one. An Aussie cricketer was rubbishing one of the chubbièr English batsmen in a test. I think it was Eddie Hemmings. Anyway the Aussie batsman asks him how he could be so fat, to which he replied, "it's because every time I screw your wife she feeds me!"There's also the story of a state of origin scrum erupting with Benny Elias and one of the Walters brothers having a bit of a set to. The Walters brother, say Steve, says to Benny, "take it easy mate. I've got a test to play next week" yes they were both competing for the test hookers spot.

  • The Sledge 60's was Eddo Brandes to Glenn McGrath, Pidge said to him why are you so fat???

    His reply was every time i root your missus she gives me a biscuit.

    Best sledge i have heard was by Steve Waugh to Jamie Siddon's in a Shield game, Siddons was one of the more unlucky players never to have played a test match.

    Waugh comes out to bat, he is taking guard and scanning the field and taking his time as he normally did.

    Siddons chirps "Come on tugga it's not a test match you know"

    Waughs reply - " of course it's not, you're here"

    Another good one was Freddie Trueman to a team mate - A ball was nicked to slip and went between his legs to the boundary for 4.  At the end of the over he apologised to Freddie.  he said "sorry Fred i should have closed my legs"

    Freddie replied with "so should have your mother"

  • Thanks Alan. I said the memory fades. I remember hearing that Waugh one now. Classic. That's exactly the memory jog that I hoped to get from this blog.
    • I know its not a sporting one, but my personal all time favourite was Paul Keating to John Howard telling him 'to find a spine to shiver down' or words to that effect. He was a master of sledges too!

  • Chris Cairns New Zealand batsmen. His sister had died in a train crash.
    When he was coming out to bat one day, Steve Waugh ( suprise )
    was greeting him to the crease with "choo choo"
    • Ye i remember that. Pretty low act from Waugh.

  • Another good one

    Mark Waugh in 2001 said to England debutant Jimmy Ormond - "What the hell are you doing out here, there's no way you good enough to be out here"

    Ormond replied with - Probably not but at least i'm the best player in my family"

    Rod Marsh and Ian Botham

    Marshy - "So how's your wife and my kids?"

    Botham - "Wife's fine, but the kids are retarded"

    • LMAO that Botham & Marsh sledge cracks me up every time I hear it!

      Classic!
  • He was spot on about Costello as well, all tip and no iceberg"

  • A blog like this would have to include something from the master sledger Muhammad Ali. Here is one but there are many more;

    Joe Frazier is so ugly that when he cries, the tears turn around and go down the back of his head.
    • lol Jimmy, hadn't heard that one before.
