"YOU DIRTY COCKNEY BASTARDS!"
Father Jack, to Dagenham fans.
Felt a bit bad though. Our kid was actually born in the sound of Bow Bells, and is therefore an actual genuine cockney... Unlike those mockney Essex shithouses from Dagenham.

Rod Marsh is supposed to have greeted Ian Botham at the wicket one day by asking: "How's your wife – and my kids?" Botham is said to have replied: "The wife's fine. The kids are retarded."
The trouble is that the margins between gladiatorial intensity and rank bad manners can be very precarious. After all, perhaps the most cherished sledge in history apparently concerned none other than Mrs Glenn McGrath. Everyone knows this one. Eddo Brandes, the chicken farmer who batted at 11 for Zimbabwe, was surviving in entirely haphazard fashion. The exasperated bowler wandered down the pitch and drolly enquired: "Eddo, why are you so fat?" Brandes promptly replied: "Because every time I fuck your wife, she gives me a biscuit." The Australian slip fielders succumbed to paroxysms of laughter.

I don't know about 'greatest' but the one with the biggest impact was certainly whatever it was that Materazzi said to Zidane in the 2006 World Cup final!

The dog eating/scouse song is always a favourite to be sung loud if the opposition has any Chinese, Korean, or other far east players; especially if they are playing for Liverpool, Everton, or Tranmere.

Yankees - Blue Jays, 00's. The early Hideki Matsui era. 500 level behind home plate. 'Assssiaaaaa! C'mon Assssiaaaaa! You know you can't hit cuz you can't see that ball!! Assssiaaaaaaaa!!!!' 'It's OK, I'm Asian too! Look! Let's goooo Assssssiaaaaaaaaa'We get a lot of Yankees fans up here, western New Yorkers for certain, they were like deer in headlights to our vibrant cosmopolitan multi-ethnic mid week casual fan walk up vibes I guess. |

The Australian slip fielders succumbed to paroxysms of laughter. The story goes that for a few days afterwards, many Australian players couldn’t look McGrath straight in the face without bursting into laughter. McGrath was well known for dishing out the insults, but unlike his contemporaries Hughes, Boon, Border, Waugh, Waugh, Hayden and Ponting - was terrible at copping it back. |

Best one I’ve heard about :
Jamie Siddons is often regarded as the best Cricketer to ever not play international cricket. Whilst fielding for Victoria against New South Wales, Siddons was getting frustrated with the batting of Mark “Junior” Waugh. Waugh was an international veteran of a decade by then, but on this day he was scratching about and batting poorly without getting out. Waugh decided to try a few things to get some form back most of which involved (legitimate) time wasting. Siddons cracked it eventually. “Junior, it ain’t a fucking Test Match (international game) you know”. Quick as a flash, Waugh shot back “Of course it isn’t Jamie - you’re fucking playing, aren’t you!”
Quick, succinct, and cutting to the bone.....

One more involving McGrath in middle of a match when Westindies for heading a record chase.
McGrath asked Sarwan , "What does Brian Lara's dick taste like?"
"I don't know, ask your wife," Sarwan replied.
The only thing was McGrath's wife was suffering from Cancer at that time.

James Ormond and Mark Waugh
Waugh: what the fuck are you doing here? You're not good enough to play for England.
Ormond: but at least I am the best cricketer in my family.
In fairness, they were both right.
Just look at any audii footage of Mark Boucher or Sangakarra keeping and you'll hear some "if I was the batsman I would have sat him on his ass stuff."
Boucher to some unfortunate Zimbabwean.
"Glad you"re out here, we haven't got to talk much this series. What are you averaging? 9? Actually it's 8.7. We'll round it up for you..." imagine that every ball for several overs and tell me you wouldn't want to punch him.

Waugh: “I remember you from a couple of years ago. You were shit then and you’re fucken useless now!”.
Parore :“Yeah that’s me. And I remember you were dating that old, ugly slut. I see you’ve married her now. You dumb c***”.

www.cricketsledges.com/top-twenty-cricket-sledges/One in the comments: Erstwhile Glamorgan fast bowler Greg Thomas bowling to Viv Richards at the Swansea ground. Greg slips three consecutive balls past the great man's outside edge. After the third ball goes through to the keeper, Greg follows through down the wicket and says to Viv: "that's called the ball - it's red and it's round, and you're supposed to hit it". Next ball, Viv steps down the track and dispatches him into the sea. As Greg follows through, Viv saunters up the wicket to do some gardening and responds: "You know what it looks like, man, you go and fucking fetch it".

Was nice to see Icon and Legend Booker T recover after this coming into a new 'home': That was really sad and funny at the same time. Even if I like Booker I cannot resist from praising The Rock for his incredible mic skills. The Rock is among my favs of all time. He was so charismatic both as a heel and as a face. I also remember that segment in which he insulted Benoit and kane and wanted Benoit to pull his pants down. The crowd would go crazy when The Rock was in the town. My all-time fav is Undertaker and Rock is probably at #2. By the way Booker was a top class wrestler. Remember the scissor move? Awesome. |

My all-time fav is Undertaker and Rock is probably at #2. By the way Booker was a top class wrestler. Remember the scissor move? Awesome. Favorite moment involving The Rock was this. You sound like a sports entertainment fan. WCW and WWF(E) had their Monday Night Wars drawing epic ratings on Monday Nights competing against each other. Each corporation was raiding each others talents competing against each other trying to draw/gain ratings. It was a great time in Sports Entertainment (the last I paid close attention too and now 'watch' from afar). Anywho. 1999. WWE was playing vignettes for months in prep for Y2K. Chris Jericho - albeit a midcarder in WCW - was making headlines as he was finally given a little leadway and his collar was removed. This is right after the internet exploded. Jericho was a little disgruntled in WCW and people were hopping ship left and right. So dirtsheets, blogs, etc were asking for months, just who was the 'Millenial Man' that WWF was hinting to debut. Some fans picked up on it - as you can see by the audience. What ensued was the greatest debut in wrestling history - Jericho - which involved The Rock. You don't hear pops like this anymore. The moment 'JERICHO' appears on the screen and the crowd goes apesh*t is EPIC to this day. 2 Legends |

Still for me the official moment WWF won the Monday night wars, & the live crowd responded in kind - they knew it wasn't just getting Jericho to RAW, it was about WCW losing a gamechanging transaction. It was like 'we won'. The biggest most legit pops ever, & it's not close, is when fans 'get their way'. |
