My brother used to live in Taunton back in 1989/90. I was visiting him and we were out for a drink one night and we went into what was then The County Hotel for a piss. As we approached the toilets Merv Hughes came out. I said "Alright Merv'" to him and he replied "Yeah guys, you coming for a beer?" So after having a piss we went into the hotel bar and the whole Aussie test team and support staff were in there boozing it up as they were playing Somerset that week. What a cracking night on the beer we had with those guys, they really were top blokes.

The most satisfying ones are when a competent also-ran gets the better of a truly world-class player. So, for me, it's Eddo and Ormond that take the prize.

The one about the biscuit was the best. I like biscuits.

how is it a video?? i call it power point presentation.

Super compilation. Cant help bursting out!

There's three Aussie lads in a team down the pub quiz, and they're just the same with the sledging, very funny. Always last in the quiz though.

For me Tuffers' was the best one. He's a funny prick, and absolute comedy gold when he was commentating for Australian Radio on Triple M at the last Ashes Series. A joy to listen to.

They have got to have some guts to sledge folks like Richards... if you get him pissed off the consequences can be rather severe.

Star Wars: Episode 9: Phil Tufnell vs The Empire

I doubt Warney would've lost too much sleep over the #2 sledge. In 13 Test innings against Australia, Cullinan made 8 single-figure scores, never made it past 50, and averaged 12.75. I don't think ANY sledge can compensate for figures like those!!

There's one small problem with the Steve Waugh to Gibbs sledge. It never happened and I've heard Steve Waugh confirm this at least 5 times over the years. Cool story but simply not true.

No 18 is factually incorrect. It was Aus (not SA) that needed to win to stay in the WC. They did of course and these two went on to play THAT semifinal

Brilliant!

Some good wit right there

You missed a good one. Fred Truman was bowling really quick and straight, first ball the batsman shuffled across the crease and looked stone cold LBW. The umpire remained unmoving, and Fred queried the non decision, next ball same again, absolutely plum. Umpire again remained uninterested in the appeal, and Fred ripped into the umpire again, third ball Fred splayed the batters stumps, on his way back past the umpire he said "nearly got him that time!!" 😂 This obviously occured in the sixties, but i can't remember the batsman or umpires names, but I think someone can fill in the blanks.

Unfortunately the Australians are good at dishing it out, but they complain when it is given back to them. But to be fair, they are Australian sportsmen, and sledging from opponents is a good excuse for when they lose.
