Holy cow batman there is some funny C&*p being said around here. How many of you have played any cricket??? because from what is being said i would think very few. I have been in the middle of some very hostile exchanges on field, said some stuff and had it thrown but come on it is the way it is. If the keeper and slips are not sledging they are not doing there job. The only crime here is the pathetic attempt at a sledge that Clarke was heard to make but really this is captain candy cane we are dealing with. Watch out or i'll smack you very nastily. Yes centurion throw him to the floor.
If the keeper and slips sledge abusively, the game should be immediately forfeited, and they should be given life bans from all forms of cricket. There is no place in cricket for workplace bullying. This is 2013 ffs. Some people on this thread have extremely old fashioned unreconstructed attitudes.
