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?!?".
Bumble was once hit in the Crown Jewels which took him off the field. During his recovery he prayed saying, ‘ Please take away the pain but leave the swelling’
Jack Fingleton legendary Aussie skipper wrote about an almost dead Test in Australia in the 30s when England were trying to save the game by dead batting. After a while voice in crowd shouted ‘Embalm the bastard!’
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.
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 is another one related to Andrew Caddick. He took umbrage to a reporters remark about him having big ears. The reporter was asked to apologize. And the apology was, "I am sorry that he has big ears."
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: Mark Waugh: "What are you doing here? You're too shit to play for England!" James Ormond: "Maybe so, but at least I'm the best player in my family"
I forget which unhappy soul it was who basically got sledged by his own wife. She rang the ground and asked to speak to him, was told "He's just gone in to bat, would you like to call back later?" and said "No, it's all right, I'll wait."
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'
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?!"
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.
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."
:D I was going to mention the Merv Hughes/Javed Miandad exchange ("Hughes, you're a fat bus conductor"/*stumps shattered*/"Tickets, please!") but I stumbled across this one: An Australian batsman was walking onto the field, opened the gate and before he could shut it, Fred Trueman remarked: "Don't bother shutting it, son, you won't be there long enough".
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."
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.
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". 😃
For anybody who needs help: "Good thinking Ricky, the last catch that went to silly mid off was a hundred f*****g years ago...... there's bound to be another one soon! " 😂
I always remember a wonderful piece of commetary by John Arlott which was in effect a sledge. Bishin Bedi is walking into bat rather reluctantly. Arlott just observed, "Bishin Bedi. A genuine number 11 batsman....." Of course he was bowled first ball.
1 of my favourite sledges' I think the bowler name was Greg Thomas a Glamorgan player playing for England who was young and very quick and bowling to the Great Sir Vivian Richards and let him have a bouncer first or 2nd delivery which unsettled King Vivian and Thomas was heard to say 'could you not see that Viv was it too quick for you old man' I will help you Viv it's red and it's round' so the next Ball from Thomas was another bouncer which King Viv smashed out of the ground and replied now that you know what it looks like you can go and find it'
I can add one from a Yorkshire match at Scarborough.Played just as Kerry Packer was "taking over".A nearly packed ground and as is tradition on this particular day there was a war re enactment on the nearby Peaseholme park.Now as anyone whose been to Scarborough will know,the bangs and explosions are fairly loud but in those days were REALLY loud. 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.
Aye he's from "accie". I'm from Nelson. Always thought that Farokh Engineer and Clive Lloyd were "honorary Lancastrians". And here's one Lancastrian who would be honoured if they thought themselves as such.
I remember years ago when the BBC broadcast Test Matches, a voice came over the Tannoy at the end of an over. " Would a Doctor Hedges please contact his surgery". I remember the grin on Dicky Birds face and the muffled laughter from the crowd. No sex, bad language etc. Just something to make you think!
best sledge was to mark waugh from jimmy ormond after being chided for 'being the best for your country', ormand said, 'maybe not, but at least i am the best player in my family'
I was at Trent Bridge 1990 first day ........watching the worse Aussie team to play there winning the toss and batting all day without loosing a wicket
Clive Radley at Lords, walking out to bat - those days the batsmen close picket gates. Great Fred Truman was fielding at the 3rd man, tell Clive. Don't bother with that gate son, you are going to be back soon.
That isn't sledging, it's banter, ironic wit maybe! Where's the one with Blowers (Blofeld), in NZ, and the seagulls? "It's a bloody seagull, Henry", audible everywhere. It sounded great on tv and radio at the time.
The famous sledge from Botham to (I think) Rod Marsh - MARSH: 'How's your wife and my kids?' BOTHAM: "The wife's fine but the kids are retarded" ... was a beauty. And the sledge from Darryl Cullinan to Warne - WARNE: 'Don't get out Darryl - I've waited two years to get at you again.' CULLINAN: "Yeah - and it looks like you've spent most of it eating." Warne had no answer ...
The best sledges come from the underdogs; sometimes they're the only thing people know about the players. So, Eddo Brandes about Glenn McGrath's wife; and, best of all, James Ormond to Mark Waugh.
@@aarronwilson5647McGrath asked Brandes "why r u so fat?". To which he replied "Thats because every time I make love to ur wife, she feeds me a biscuit "
'Did yer like that?' Fred Dibnah was a real character, very skilled, and exactly the same in person as he was on TV. I met him a number of times over the years, and still miss him.
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.
Michael kasprowicz was having a shit day bowling v windies in Sydnet...i say to him (he was fielding in front of me) 'theres only room for one qlder in the australian team - and you better believe we arent dropping Ian Healey!!!' He was a tad miffed lol. Yeah. All you subcontinent sooks. We even sledge our own. One day i opened fr 3rd grade local. I was the 5th grade opener (yeah i wasnt much good lol). Im nicking them thru slips, over slips, past slips...scoring runs. I hear from behind me in the cordon 'try the middle - you paid for the whole bat you know' this being the latest in about 90min worth of chirping. I turned around and said 'you lot are pretty mouthy for a slips cordon that couldnt catch a fkn cold'. When they finally got me out and gave me the send off i grinned and said 'FIFTH GRADE opener fellas just scored 36 against yas hahaha have a good one' Was a fine days sldeging
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.
Message for channel owner : Just shows how much you dont monitor your comments, I just had to report four people for adding links to certain xrated sites
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" 😂😂
@@collinslfc Thank you for the initial unsolicited reply, princess. A shame it was unfunny like Bumble. And the truth be said, the only reason I saw your reply was purely by chance, as happened to revisit this video.
The Fred Truman sledge when one of his own players dropped a slips catch off his bowling and it went between his legs for four & apologized to Truman saying "I'm sorry Fred. I should have closed my legs." Upon which Truman replied, "So should have your mother!" LOL!
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?!?".
Lol Epic one.🤪🤪

I was playing in a village match once - my team were in the field.

Bumble only played 9 tests for England . He's made a name for himself in the Sky commentary box and being after diner speaker!!
I think you'll find he's made a name for himself as a succesful Lancashire player and captain, as well as Lancashire and England coach you bell end.
Oh how many did you play ?
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.
That was Rod Marsh to Ian Botham.
@@alangeorgebarstow Well i heard it from Marsh and he stated Gower.
@@BatMan-oe2gh Funny that. I heard it from Botham and he stated it was he. It's probably one of those that has become an urban myth.
@@alangeorgebarstow Doubt it as Marsh stated he said it.
Outstayed his welcome .
A bit like you then, eh ? Who are you, by the way ?
@MOGGS1942 Been playing the same boring old tune for 25 years.
Music unnecessary.
I like the music.
You're unnecessary
Thanks.Agreed, @wilfen8737 Music always upsets people, so it's wise not to add it to a video.
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"
😂😂
That was Eddo Brandes to Glenn McGrath
Richard Mills I
Ah er yeah. Umm, not that funny.
Anyone else turn this off half way through
Stick to the big bash
Stopped reading your comment halfway through.
Sorry but always found him a very very boring personnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Unlike you, then ? All that charm and humour that you exude. It must be very hard for you.
Somethings never change....death, taxes....and Bumble being that little bit dim
Oh dear. That's more sludge than sledge. Lighten up. See what I did there ?
@@MOGGS1942
"that's more sludge than sledge."
Thigh slappingly original and brilliant!!! I'm crying with laughter here, princess!
Much as I like Bumble, this wasn't remotely funny.
Were you the fielder at silly mid on?
@@collinslfc
Alas no, but I saw you at daft, witless third lass...
Again, this is not a funny tale by Lloyd. And well you know it, princess.
@@hyena131 Nice reply, it was worth the three years wait.
@@collinslfc
Thank you for the initial unsolicited reply, princess. A shame it was unfunny like Bumble.
And the truth be said, the only reason I saw your reply was purely by chance, as happened to revisit this video.
@@hyena131 Touchy. Humour is a very personal thing. You possibly had a humour by pass when you were younger, and forgot it had taken place.
He just has a face you want to slap!
I'd like to see you try.
I hope bumble quits commentary
The Fred Truman sledge when one of his own players dropped a slips catch off his bowling and it went between his legs for four & apologized to Truman saying "I'm sorry Fred. I should have closed my legs." Upon which Truman replied, "So should have your mother!" LOL!
