    Bumble tells us his favourite sledge as featured in his cracking new autobiography, Last in the Tin Bath - out on 10 September.
    This new autobiography recalls his childhood in Accrington, Lancashire, when, after a long day playing cricket in the street, he would get his chance to wash himself in his family's tin bath - but only after his parents and uncle had taken their turn first. From there he moved on to make his debut for Lancashire while still in his teens, eventually earning an England call-up, when he had to face the pace of Lillee and Thomson - with painful and eye-watering consequences.
    After retiring as a player, he became an umpire and then England coach during the 1990s, before eventually turning to commentary with Sky Sports.

    A good one was from a spectator in Auckland while Sunil Gavaskar was batting. It had been a long, long innings, and the sledge from the frustrated man in the crowd was "Gavaskar - how did your mother get you out?!?".

    I was playing in a village match once - my team were in the field. One of the opposition team's openers was going along nicely, when all of a sudden, his wife turned up, pushing a buggy with their little boy in it. Ignoring the fact a game was going on, she walked straight out to the middle, wagged her finger in her husband's face and shouted "YOU are supposed to be looking after (finger moves to point to child) HIM." She then stormed back off and disappeared. I've no idea whether that guy still had a wife and child to go home to the next day, but he said nothing and went on to score a 50.

    Best one I've heard of was from Doug Walters to Ashley Mallett in a tour game in South Africa. Mallett was bowling to Mike Proctor who was in a belligerent mood and had deposited Mallett into the scenery numerous times. Doug's retrieved the ball, ran it back to Ashley and told him "That finishes all the reds, now onto the coloureds".

    My favourite comes from Viv Richards to Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar had decided to bat at number four instead of opening but Gaekwad and Vengsarkar were dismissed for no score. When Gavaskar came in Richards said to him "Man it don't matter where you come in, the score is still zero!"

    There's some amazing sledges in the comments here but here's one I don't think anyone here will have heard. I was at the world cup ODI match in Manchester in 2019 between Australia and South Africa. South Africa were batting really well and looking like setting a big score. During a slight lull in the play a large and I think drunk South African stood up and yelled, 'Oi Australia, I think it's time to get out the sand paper'

    My favorite is from a story Fred Trueman loved to tell on the rubber chicken circuit. He used the names and I can't remember them, but you'll get the point. This is just after the war in a county game. Ump calls the batter out on a weak LBW. The Batter turns to the Umpire and the following exchange takes place.
    Batter - I have a question. Where's you're seeing-eye dog today?
    Ump - I got rid of her for yapping, just like you, now (bleep) off.

    I remember hearing Richie Benaud tell a story about Fred Trueman once. I think it may have been Richie's first tour of England when he wasn't known for his batting and came in at 10 or 11. Fred bowls him a beauty that nicks the outside edge and is caught at slip. As they walk off, Fred puts his arm around Richie and says "don't worry, son, even a good player would have nicked that."

      Brian Johnson used to tell a great story about Fred. Apparently, Fred was playing for Yorkshire in an annual friendly match against the Duke of Norfolk's XI at Arundel in Sussex. The Duke always played in the match but he was a terrible cricketer, however as it was his game there was a tradition that you must never get him out for a duck. So, a wicket fell and in comes the Duke, with fiery Fred in the middle of an over. The Yorkshire skipper runs up to Fred and whispers "remember the rules - you must give him a run." Fred then walks up to the Duke and says "first ball will be a slow long hop, you can hit it over there and run two. Next ball I'll pin you to flippin' sight screen!"

      A Duncan Mackenzie tale tells of Fred firing down a delivery which takes a good edge and carries to the wicket keeper and is caught. Not out is given. A disgruntled Fred launches the next ball in which appears plumb lbw. Not out is given again. A seriously hacked off Fred steams in and sends the batsman's middle wicket cartwheeling. Fred turns to the umpire and says (something like) "By Christ I nearly had him that time didn’t I?!"

    Another great, not so much a sledge but a laugh came from former Aussie Keeper Wally Grout. Apparently in the first tied test he'd worn one fair square in the pills from Wes Hall, but took off for a run and got in safely. Next ball was another quick single and he had to dive to make it, landing on said pills in the process. He was out, run out. He staggered back, collapsed on the massage table and said "Don't rub em, just count em". 😃

    Fair play to Bumble, an empty Gabbatoir would have made it funnier...but best sledge ever? While I'm an Aussie and would prefer my favourite sledge to come from an Aussie, I think my favourite is from Daryll Cullinan, the ultimate bunny for a bowler, the bowler being Shane Warne. As Cullinan approached the wicket, a gleeful Warnie said, "I've been waiting two years to bowl to you again" to which Cullinan responded, "Looks like you spent it eating pies."

      There's also the Colin Cowdrey one when Lillee and Thommo were terrorising the English top order and they brought Cowdrey down from the snug comfort of a fireside English winter to the burning summer in Australia. This was the 1974/75 Ashes tour, when the mantra was 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Lillee can't get you, then Thommo must'.
      So, a 41 or 42 year old Cowdrey landed in Perth after a long delay in India and had no time to play a tour match before the test. Now, I've heard a number of versions of this, but it basically runs that when Cowdrey arrived at the non-strikers end, Thommo was walking back to his mark and Cowdrey, who was described by Thommo as 'teardrop' shaped, said, "How pleased to meet you, the name's Cowdrey" to which Thommo replied, "That ain't gunna help you, fatso, fuck off."

    • @douglasporter3865
      @douglasporter3865 7 лет назад +26

      That's not a sledge, that's just Thommo being a foul-mouthed bully. Mind you, when your Plan A is to break Pommie ribs and skulls and you don't have a Plan B, you have to run with what you have.
      I liked the "crowd sledge" attributed to an anonymous Australian when the hated Douglas Jardine was being troubled by the local insect life. As he was swatting them away a spectator yelled "Oi! Jardine! Leave our flies alone!"
      Equally funny was the suggestion to tempt Mike Gatting out of his ground by placing a Mars bar short of a length. But "Fuck off fatso" ain't in it for wit.

    The bowler is running in from that end to Boycott when there's an almighty explosion, Geoffrey pulls out of the shot and the bowler stops and makes to go back to his mark,turns around and then from the crowd......."It's all right Geoffrey,someone's just shot Kerry Packer !".Just about every player starts laughing and the game is held up for a couple of minutes.

    Honestly Bumble, if that's the best sledge you've ever heard then you've lead a pretty sheltered life. You might want to try the one uttered at Sydney when Douglas Jardine was batting. It was a hot day and the flies were hanging about and Jardine had to continually perform the great Australian salute to get rid of them. Finally, a lone voice in the crowd yelled out 'you leave our flies alone, Jardine!' There are countless others but I always liked that one.

      Well it is his life and his opinion. The best he'd heard probably refers to ones he actually heard first hand as they happened, not those witnessed by others.

    Best sledge and comeback I ever heard was Rod Marsh to David Gower. Gower walked out to at and Marsh says "How is the wife and my kids?".. Gower responded back with Wife is great, kids are retarded!! Brilliant, and I am an Aussie, but Marsh had no answer to that.

    One of THE best sledges is a retort from (rotund Aussie batsman) David Boon to an England fielder, which went something like:
    England fielder : "Hey Boonie, how come you're so fat?"
    David Boon : "Cos every time I shag your missus, she gives me a biscuit"

      So England were batting really well and ponting put a fielder in a really odd position and a single person in the crowd left and he sledged ponting by commenting on his weird fielding position.

      Sarcastically suggesting that what made it a good idea was the fact that a catch hadn't been taken there since forever so it must be due... they call that the Gambler's Fallacy.
