19. Merv Hughes described the great Sunil Gavaskar as what? I remember a well documented encounter between Merv Hughes and Javed Miandad in which Miandad said that Hughes looked like a "fat bus conductor".... with Hughes responding "tickets please" when he dismissed Miandad a few balls later.... ;D Merv Hughes is obviously known as being one of the greatest "sledgers" of all time in test cricket.... as well as being a seriously good bowler.... but I can't say that I have ever heard of any comments made by him about Sunil Gavasker.... and I am not sure that they even played against each other as Gavasker must have retired about the same time that Hughes started playing test cricket.... ::) I think that we all need some help here with this one Phil... and the rugby question as well! ;D |

You dont remember it dave because of my stupidity of asking questions and inexperience as a quizzer ;D you are absolutely correct about one of my favourite sledges though from mr hughes, you can get 3 points for the answer and ponting out my stupidity ;D No apology needed at all Phil... I think that it's great that some new faces are taking the time to give us all some different quizzes which are really interesting and fun to do. 8-) I still don't know the rugby one.... :-[ .... but as you enjoyed the cricket sledge, here are a couple more of my favorites from the book that I have about them... Viv Richards v Greg Thomas This incident took place during a county championship match between Glamorgan and Somerset. Glamorgan quick bowler Greg Thomas had beaten Viv Richards' bat a couple of times and informed the legendary West Indian ace: " It's red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering." The very next ball was given the King Viv treament and smashed out of the ground, into a river - at which point Richards piped up: " Greg, you know what it looks like man, now be good and go and find it." ;D Ian Healy v a South African Provincial Batsman In one of the tour matches in South Africa, Australia played Hansie Cronje's province. Cronje was at the non strikers end, there was a short chubby batsman on strike. Ian Healy yelled to Shane Warne who was bowling, " Bowl a Mars Bar half way down Warnie...We'll get him stumped". The Aussies and Cronje were all in hysterics at this and the game had to be stopped when the batsman replied "Nah, Boonie (David Boon) fielding at short leg will be onto it before I can move." :D Most of the rest of the quotes in the book could not be put on the Forum.... :o ....but there are some real classics in there! 8-) PS. I'm not after any points for these.... just wanted to give everybody a chuckle. ;) |

There was also a good sledging incident involving Merv Hughes and Ian Botham.. It went something like:
Hughes to Beefy: "How is your wife and my kids ?"
Beefy to Hughes: "Wife's alright but the kids are retards"
;D

Beefy to Hughes: "Wife's alright but the kids are retards" ;D Absolutely brilliant, i remember another classic between glenn mcgrath and eddo brandes: Mcgrath: eddo why are you so fat? Brandes: because every time i f*** your wife she gives me a biscuit ;D another favourite Ramnaresh sarwan and mcgrath Mcgrath: what does brian laras c*** taste like? Sarwan: ask your wife Mcgrath: you mention my wife again i will rip your f****** throat out! All in good fun of course :D In terms of the rugby one, this guy played for the bew zealand maori and northampton |

Robin smith and merv hughes
Merv: you cant f****** bat!
Robin dispatches him next ball saying:
Robin: we make a good pair merv, i cant f****** bat and you cant f****** bowl ;D
Who was it who raised their bat to a bowler as if to take a swing at him for kicking him in the pad? Ive got a feeling it was miandad and hughes
