RE: A brief history of sledging in cricket

I'll be honest, I'd probably get myself out 'hit wicket' with some of the sledging that goes on. How they can block it out is beyond me. Steve Smith and Dave Warner I thought were pretty good at having a great ol sledge. They forfeited any future rights following that fateful 2018 tour of South Africa.

Haha, I guess ultimately if you don't enjoy that kind of thing it would be a struggle. For me it's part of the challenge of the game and as a batsman you are left with the choice of either just remaining quiet and confident in yourself or deciding to give a little bit back when the opportunity presents itself.

Gotta remember on that tour that there was some frightful sledging by both teams including Warner getting sledged by Quinton de Kock about his wife having an affair which almost started a fist fight when they were walking off at one of the intervals. Certainly doesn't excuse the ball tampering but as far as sledging is concerned you've gotta be prepared to give as good as you get!

Yep so true. There's easy dirt on Warner as his wife was caught in an infamous toilet cubicle incident with rugby league player Sonny Bill Williams before she got together with Warner. Personally that's off limits when it comes to family.

I suppose you've got to have a strong banter game when going out to the middle!
