5 out of 5 stars Extremely Funny!   December 21, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book is packed with hilarious quotes from the middle and features some of the greatest names in the game. If you think you know all the best sledges, then think again. There are hundreds more in here that will keep you entertained for hours, and may even give you some ideas for the next village game. The perfect present for any armchair fan or player!


5 out of 5 stars Never more perfect timing!   August 3, 2007
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

The recent Test series between England and India has really
highlighted sledging's impact on the game. Some of the England players
reportedly ribbed one of the Indians over his weight (and his team's
propensity to get extra shine on the ball using the old jellybean-infused-saliva trick!) and the series became all the more interesting as a result.
Then you have the crowd throwing the sweets onto the outfield to stir
the pot, so even the fans get a go! This book serves a timely reminder that it's never just about the cricket. Enjoy the best sledges and their counters from the game's history, but do watch out for the occasional four letter word - it can get a bit fruity! Richly entertaining.



1 out of 5 stars STRONG Language   July 31, 2007
 4 out of 12 found this review helpful

Beware - this may be a great book but it contains plenty of language that I would be very unhappy to have my kids using around the wicket! Perhaps I was niaive - it does say it's a book about insults - but I hoped for wit and humour but this goes a good bit further. The cover has a warning on it (v small) but the write up doesnt mention it.

Enjoy the book just but don't give it to young kids or your granny!



5 out of 5 stars The perfect stocking filler!   December 2, 2006
 16 out of 17 found this review helpful

This is a cracking good read. I thought I knew most of the famous sledges but there are so many more in here. With England locking horns with Australia at the moment it's the perfect time to give those dastardly Aussies some verbal! Would be a great Christmas gift for any fan of the game, and those who just like general abuse!
