Cricket Sledges at Their Best

These sledges are different to the sledges you will hear on TV and on the internet. The ones that you normally hear are more personal and are a direct attack to the person. This guide is more generalized and can be aimed at nearly everybody.

What are Sledges?

Sledges are basically a fancy term for insults. Sledging often happens in most sports but it is most renowned in cricket. According to the knowledgeable and wisdom of Wikipedia, sledging “is the practice in cricket of insulting opponents to break their concentration and cause them to make mistakes. Sledging is effective because the batsman stands within hearing range of the bowler and certain fielders. The aim is to intimidate or distract the batsman into making a fatal mistake and being dismissed. Sledging thus tries to “break the flow” of the batsman’s game”. There it is, that is why sledging is an important part to a cricketers arsenal of weapons.

Classic Sledges are the sledges that you always hear from the other team. Although not original, it is always good to have these in your arsenal, just in case you run out of smart ones. Try not to overuse these as they will quickly turn lame.

Classic Sledges (at Batsman)

Big Swing, No Ding
He’s got more missus (wives) than Henry VIII
He’s got more leaves than a tree
He’s got more blocks than a lego set
I’ve seen better batters in a fish shop
He’s shaking harder than Tickle Me Elmo
He’s go more edges than a dodecahedron
(To fat batsman) Have you ever been out belly-before-wicket?

New Sledges are the ones that have nearly never been heard before. These sledges were made up by me and are a great set of sledges to use on your opposition batsman to frustrate him resulting in him making silly shots and maybe even getting him out.

New Sledges (at Batsman)

He drives like a woman (no offense to women)
He drives like a drunk
He fishes more than Rex Hunt
Don’t give this one a knife, cause he can’t cut
The stump cam’s gonna be dusty cause he can’t sweep
He swings more than a New Orleans jazz band
Don’t take this guy hunting, he’ll miss every shot
Emos cut better than this guy
Does his bat have a middle? Cause right now, he ain’t using it
Boys, learn something here, this is why drink driving is illegal
If you gave this guy money for every run, he’d be in debt
This guy should be learning how to cut at a cooking school
Clearly this guy’s still on his L’s (meaning he cant drive)
Clearly this guy’s license has been confiscated
We have to rent him a car boys, cause right now, he can’t drive

These are not really sledges, but more encouragement for your own bowlers. This is limited as I have tried to make up sledges to be directed at the batsman instead.

Comments (to Own Bowler)

Let’s feed the stumps some cherries
Instead of cover driving, lets make him drive for cover
Send the bails to Wales (does not work if you do live in Wales)

Important tip:

Only ever use a sledge once per game (this will stop the sledges becoming “lame” or you will quickly become the embarrassed one)

    this bloke doesnt know where his next runs coming from — let a lone his next meal.
    when the ball hits him in the box ” ooo that one got him straight in the schmoo”
    when he edges it and gets caught behind ” stevie NICKS threw to danny GLOVER “
    when there is a guy having a hack ” cmon boys lets send GENE HACKMAN back now.

    when i was playing in UK our keeper was the biggest and most annoying smartarse of a bloke you could imagine. I was at slip when this bloke came into bat and our keeper said \” you are so ugly that you are the captain of the world ugly XI\”. The batsman replied \” yeah and your mrs is batting at 3\”. We all lost it with laughter, put the little smartarse in his place… He did not take it to well.
