I read about this years ago
I'm not taking credit for it, obviously, but wanted to share this with the masses:

Glenn McGrath (bowling to portly Zimbabwean chicken farmer Eddo Brandes): "Hey Eddo, why are you so F**ing Fat?"
Eddo Brandes: "Because everytime I F*** your mother, she gives me a biscuit"

Well played sir. Well played.

I think he said "fucking fat"
and the reply was "fuck your mother".

Yes. It's an old German word for fuck.

Cricket sledging has some gems when it comes to put-downs.
-'Hey 'insert batsman's name here', how are your wife and my kids?'
-'The wife is fine but the kids are retarded.'

I offer you:
Mark Waugh: Fuck me, look who it is. Mate, you're not good enough to bat for your county let alone England.
Jimmy Ormond: Maybe so, but at least I'm the best cricketer in my family.

I think that originated in some sledging between Greg Chappell and Tony Greig - Greig as a Seth Efrican wasn't playing for his country, because of the apartheid boycotts. So somehow he was playing for England - and after Tony Greig made some unkind comments to Greg Chappell, Chappell replied "But at least I'm playing for my own country."

My favourite sledging comes from Viv Richards
A young bowler was bowling to Viv Richards in a county game. Viv missed an out swinger, and the bowler said, “Come on Viv, it’s red, round and weighs about 5 1/2 ounces.”

Next ball Viv hits Greg out of the ground and replies, “You know what it looks like, you fucking get it!”

Paraphrased, as I can't remember it properly
