Trott is a hero for admitting his illness and standing up to it. Get well soon Jonathan.

This thread makes it sound like there's a constant commentary of abuse from the fielding side, but there are 2 umpires within earshot too and if they feel someone has overstepped the mark they'll intervene.

famous sledging story with glenn Mcgrath and Eddo Brandes of Zimbabwe.

Mcgrath bowling and brandes couldn't get anywhere near him....finally McGrath goes up to him and says " Why are you so ****ing fat"...to whit Brandes replies " everytime I shag your missus, she gives me a biscuit" Now that is Banter and sledging at its best.

there is also a classic where one fast bowler was pinging it down, and after missing the ball over and over, the aussie wicketkeeper shouted out " bowl him a piano, maybe the ******* can play that"

one i heard the other day...and i can't remember who it was between but it went along the lines of......

Batsman says to bowler..." you're the size of a bus"

next ball, bowler removes middle wicket of said batsman and runs past him shouting "ding ding, tickets please"

Now that tickled me !!!
