  1. It’s time to sell Kylian Mbappe, PSG! Striker's move to Real Madrid is finally on – and Ligue 1 giants must take the cash and run

  2. The best comeback to a sledge I've heard was an English batsman coming to the crease for his debut innings. Mark Waugh said to him, "Who are you? You're not good enough to play for England." The batsman responded with, "Well at least I'm the best cricketer in my family."

  3. Ian Healy refused to walk against England, and Mike Atherton returned the favour;
    Healy: "Why didn't you walk, Pom?"
    Atherton: "When in Rome…."

  4. Best one I heard was a sledge by Mark Waugh the lesser and younger brother of the great Steve Waugh who said to an England player "what the f..k are you doing here surely your not good enough to play for England". The player replied "that maybe but at least i'm the best player in my family"

  5. Every Aussie should start calling Jimmy Johnny…all the time…his gonna love that 🤣🤣

  6. That Mitch Johnson "why are you chirping mate now", and then Jimmy shutting him down was one of the greatest😊

  7. Anecdotally, I heard in a village match the keeper said to one of his own fielders. upon not knowing which end to throw to in a missed run out opportunity:

    ‘How can someone with half a brain be in two minds!!?’

  8. Creative and clever sledging is part of what I love about the game. When I bat I prefer to have conversations with the keeper and slips. Helps me to relax, and not get too caught up with my own thoughts and what im doing or not doing.

  9. I can’t remember which English player said it but his words were “Australian brain is like the country. Big and barren!!!”

  10. Can somebody give me an intelligent reason as to why Batsmen are now called 'Batters'? I put batter on my deep fried fish and they are also found on baseball fields. Somebody kindly explain to me, the reasoning behind this if they could.
