Never more perfect timing!
Review date: 2007-08-03 Rating: 10 out of 10
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.

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!
The perfect stocking filler!

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!
