McGrath was bowling to the Zimbabwe number 11 - who was unable to get
his bat anywhere near the ball.

McGrath, frustrated that Brandes was still at the crease, wandered up
during one particular over and inquired: "Why are you so fat?"

Quick as a flash, Brandes replied: "Because every time I make love to
your wife, she gives me a biscuit."

Even the Aussie slip fielders were in hysterics.





hehehehehehehehehehe :-)))))))))))))))))))


Eddo -- you are the man!!!!!!

Ofcourse it is not current news, considering MacGrath is not playing
Eddo in any games right now.

My point was Glenn 'Moron' McGrath has learnt his lessons and gets his
wife abused and still doesnt stop it.

What will it take for him to stop sledging.

Perhaps Justin was referring to the large number of times this 'gag' has
been posted to rsc in the past. Some 'contributors' at least try to
modernise the 'joke' by changing the names eg. Kallis replacing Brandes.

Very, very old news.
But the Beeb learnt of it only recently
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/3068365.stm). All this
while their newsroom was busy investigating the sexed up dossiers on Iraq.
Zim and UK don't share particularly warm relations, so it takes time for
news such as this to get around.
Not the case, the sports radio channel BBC Radio 5 Live had a saturday
morning show hosted by someone who basically knew a lot about football
but his lack of cricket knowledge was embarassing when interviewing
cricketers and even he knew this one.

To anyone remotely interested in cricket this anecdote is well past
its sell-by date.

Actually it was included in a not particularly good "best of sledging" type
thingy. It wasn't presented as any kind of current story.

And I was piss-taking. I guess I am not very good at it.

Pistaking. PIStaking. And really, the adults here are trying to get laid by
their high horse. Or something. I really can't keep track anymore. I blame
that bastard Dunnyford(tm) myself.

That's pretty darn funny - even the Javed, Merv Huges, "Fat Bus
Conductor" and "Tickets Please" was hilarious - trash talking to
psyche out your your opponents has been around for a while. I don't
understand what the fuss is all about - cricketers these days are too
darn sensitive.

There was instance when something like "How's your wife and my
kids...." was said by an Aussie to an Englishman during one of 70s
Ashes series. Anyone has details on this incident

Whats the fuss about Sledging ?? Cricket is supposed to be a
Gentlemens Game. OK OK I agree it has become professional, but even
professional sports like NBA doesnt allow TRash Talking. The refs
allow you to go away one time and 2nd time you are T'ed.

It has been restrained/restricted in almost all the sports except
probably for Ice Hockey, but then people watch Ice Hockey to see
players go at each other, just like the crowd that goes to NASCAR to
watch cars crash.

It has definitely gone beyond limits in Cricket where people are
abusing each others wives, mothers etc etc.

I can understand you supporting it, cuz Javed Miandad would probably
put McGrath to shame in this department.
