Resumo de Best Cricket Sledges

WIKI refers to sledging as 'exchanging words with opposition player(s)which can put him(them) off their usual game; it is an attempt to"psych out" an opponent'.Cricket is a very interesting game, and sledging adds to it the extra spice that make it much more than just game.Here is a compilation of the best sledging related incidents, witnessed in the history of cricket...1.The Prasad Vs Sohail Incident :Hero to Zero in 3 easy steps Chasing India's score of 287-8, pakistan got off to a flyer of astart, Amir Sohail and Saeed Anwar went about tearing the Indianbowling attack. Pakistan looked all set to win as they reached 110 oddfor the loss of just 1 wicket within the 15 overs.1. Play a Great Shot: Amir Sohail was completely bent ondemolishing the Indian bowling to pieces, charging down the track tothe faster bowlers (if u can call Prasad that) in this particular casehe came down the ground (a good 4-5 steps, anymore and he would havehit Prasad too) and slashed the bowl over vacant off side area... theball disappeared into the fence in a flash ... what followed has sincebeen etched in the memories of every cricket fan in the subcontinent.2. Act Oversmart: Amir Sohail is no Miandad. But he tries tobe,and fails miserably. Sohail after hitting the shot pointed his batthe area where the bowl had disappeared and then towards Prasadapparently gesturing where he will send the next one .Its not everyday that you see a batsman sledging the bowler, and Sohail was about to learn just why.Get what you called for: Sohail attempting to repeat the shot(albeit with his feet stuck to the ground this time) made room andexposed his stumps, and his weakness, and in return lost his wicket andhis face.As the wicket lay uprooted, Prasad returned the favour to Sohail, pointing to the pavilion this time.The comeback was truly remarkable, almost a miracle .... Prasadhas bowled thousands of deliveries and taken hundereds of wickets inhis career but, it was this one granted him a place in the History ofIndian Cricket .. for ever... the ghost of Miandad's last ball six wasexorcised, once and for all.You can also watch the video of the incident.2.Steve Waugh Vs Curtly Ambrose Episode.It really does not get any bigger than this, the two legends ofcricket came face to face, literally and engrossed in a verbal duel ina test match in Trinidad. All the juicy details were not to be knownuntil Steve Waugh came out with his autobiography.Ambrose repeatedly stared Waugh down during a searing spell, andWaugh, who sized up the towering Ambrose, said: " What the f*ck are youlooking at? "Ambrose was stunned because, as Waugh says (in hisAutobiography), "no one had ever been stupid enough" to speak to himlike that.Ambrose replied, "Don't cuss me, man", before Waugh's response, which had nothing to do with bowling."Unfortunately, nothing inventive or witty came to mind, ratheranother piece of personal abuse: 'Why don't you go and get f*cked.' "The Windies skipper Richie Richardson had a hard time keeping Ambrose from hurting the Aussie.3.McGrath Vs Brandes(the Best one till now?.)In a showdown of best pacers of two countries, Brandes made upfor his complete absence of batting skills by some displaying somegreat sense of humor and presence of mind.Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11Eddo Brandes - who was unable to get his bat anywhere near the ball.McGrath, frustrated that Brandes was still at the crease, wandered upduring one particular over and inquired: " Why are you so fat?"Quick as a flash, Brandes replied: "Because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit ."Even the Aussie slip fielders were in hysterics.2.Sachin Tendulkar Vs Abdul QadirThe year was 1989, the little master had recently made his debutin Pakistan. Sachin not even old enough to get a driving licence SachinTendulkar was facing the best bowlers in the business. As the Pakistanicrows jeered and mocked Sachin holding out the placards saying "" DudhPita B.ghar jaake dhoodh pee", (hey kid, go home and drinkmilk), Sachin sent the then young leg spinner Mustaq Ahmed hiding forcover (he had hit two sixes in one over. The frustaded mentor of MustaqAhmed the legendary Abdul Qadir challenges Sachin saying " Bachchon kokyon mar rahe ho? Hamein bhi maar dikhao` (`Why are you hitting kids?Try and hit me.`).Sachin was silent, since then we all have come to know that helets his bat do the talking. Abdul Quadir had made a simple request andSachin obliged, and how. Sachin hit 4 sixes in the over, making thespinner look the kid in the contest. The over read 6, 0, 4, 6 6 6,David had felled Goliath ... and a legend was born.
