I vividly remember how once repetitive sledging by McGrath was met by leaves and a simple "I don't give a damn Style' by Sachin..

Similarly when we played against Anglo Indians practise matches they used to sledge after being drugged out. I used to slam each and every bowler beyond recognition, all sledging vanished. That is how the batsmen should behave. Regarding crowd behaviour it can be really irrational and one has to take in their stride or play to the gallery like Randall.Deguidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920558699154594412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320199538215496339.post-66936798409248490652012-01-01T06:17:22.024+05:302012-01-01T06:17:22.024+05:30@ Arti

I think I may not be a big fan of the game to be saying this, coz sometimes the situations do tend to go out of control. But yeah, a light hearted banter as described by you, is always welcome and sure does heat up the atmosphere more! Yes, sledging does need a sharp mind and a fiery tongue, very well compiled DS..

I guess working under pressure, amidst competition, with lot of money at stake, to carry forward the age old rivalry, people hard work and sometimes when they hop on the bad luck ride, tends to sledge, abuse.

The nature and pace of cricket has changed a lot. All the protests by the purists has not been able to prevent that change. It is likely that in the madmax future, there will be rules for sledging as it will be accepted as part of the game. <a href="http://subhorup.blogspot.com/2011/12/merry-christmas.html" title="Christmas" rel="nofollow">Merry Christmas</a> and Happy New Year!
