In a match between Aus. and Zimbabwe, Glenn McGrath was bowling to Daniel Vettori. After his follow-through, McGrath said to him "Why are you so fat?". After his next delivery, Vettori replied "Well, every time I sleep with your wife she gives me a biscuit!". Adam Gilchrist, who was listening to all this from behind the stumps, was then seen rolling around on his back in a fit of giggles
That just proves that the Aussies' sledging does backfire (occasionally!)!
haha thats disgusting!! good ole merv...Son Of Coco said:Apparently this happened in a Tour Match in SA:
Merv Hughes had just come back from a knee operation and was bowling one fo his first spells. Cronje was at the non-strikers end and I can't remember exactly who was facing, but Merv has come steaming in, delivered the ball, and then collapsed on the ground in a screaming heap. All the players raced over an gathered around him to see if he was ok, and after a few seconds Merv let out a massive fart, causing everyone to collapse into fits of laughter, and then happily jumped up and marched back to the top of his mark. The batsman was quoted as saying that he's glad Merv's next one wasn't on the stumps as he was laughing that hard he couldn't have hit it, and Cronje said there was no way he could have completed a run.
Don't tell me the Keeper was Little G (jenette) from ND. Cause she is the most annoying keeper.Kimbo said:Was playing in an age group tournament in Palmerston North and there had been quite a few dot balls, and we were playing a 30 over match. The keeper said "Kim, what do they say happens after 13 dot balls?"
Me: "A wicket"
Cover: "whats that? test match cricket?"
Me: "no ... a WICKET"
Cover: "test match cricket?"
Me: "No a wicket... after 13 dot balls you get a wicket"
Next ball the batsman caned the ball through midwicket for four... and stepped on her stumps!!!
