The best comeback to a sledge I've heard was an English batsman coming to the crease for his debut innings. Mark Waugh said to him, "Who are you? You're not good enough to play for England." The batsman responded with, "Well at least I'm the best cricketer in my family."
Creative and clever sledging is part of what I love about the game. When I bat I prefer to have conversations with the keeper and slips. Helps me to relax, and not get too caught up with my own thoughts and what im doing or not doing.
Anecdotally, I heard in a village match the keeper said to one of his own fielders. upon not knowing which end to throw to in a missed run out opportunity: ‘How can someone with half a brain be in two minds!!?’
Can somebody give me an intelligent reason as to why Batsmen are now called 'Batters'? I put batter on my deep fried fish and they are also found on baseball fields. Somebody kindly explain to me, the reasoning behind this if they could.
Why does there need to be an intelligent reason? People have started calling them batters and it's stuck. So what if peoples vocabulary change. It also fits with the other cricket positions: bowlERS, fieldERS, wicketkeepERS. plus it's a gender neutral term.
@@RollingEasy those are perfectly good reasons as to why people have started calling batsmen batter. Whether or not you agree with it is irrelevant. The better question is why are you so bothered?
@@Oli-Johnson They might be good reasons to some people but not to others. I'm asking for one intelligent reason. Just give me one intelligent reason why 'Batsman' is being seen as no longer an acceptable word used to describe the two men at either end of a cricket pitch. The greatest Batsmen of all time. Bradman, Tendulka, Richards, Lara, Kohli and so many more, we must now call 'Batters'? Who says? And why? And that's what I want to know. Most of all I want to read the logical basis behind it.

James Ormond - two caps for England, still No1 in the Ormond family to Waugh's No2 position in the Waugh clan
@@TheCaptScarlett With an honourable mention to Trevor Chappell along the way.
That Mitch Johnson "why are you chirping mate now", and then Jimmy shutting him down was one of the greatest😊
😂😂 "Can you lend me a brain? I'm building an idiot."
Ian Healy refused to walk against England, and Mike Atherton returned the favour;
Healy: _"Why didn't you walk, Pom?"_
Atherton: _"When in Rome...."_

Every Aussie should start calling Jimmy Johnny...all the time...his gonna love that 🤣🤣
The Botham retort to Marsh's sledge is the greatest of all time.
Peter Siddle used to laugh, face up, then get out 😂
Anderson Awesome
so good
In offensive sledging is good fun !
I can’t remember which English player said it but his words were “Australian brain is like the country. Big and barren!!!”
Waiting for the ashes
Bugger me, But cricket is great.

@@Oli-Johnson That's not what I asked for. I asked for an intelligent reason as to why Batsmen are now called Batters. Have you got one?
Didn't think so.
