Sledging

1. Rod Marsh and Ian Botham: When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: "So how's your wife and my kids?"  

2. Daryll Cullinan and Shane Warne:As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket, Warne told him he had Been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. "Looks like you spent it eating," Cullinan retorted.   

3. Glenn McGrath (bowling to portly Zimbabwean chicken farmer EddoBrandes): "Hey Eddo, why are you so F(_)ckng Fat?" Eddo Brandes: "Because everytime I F(_)ck your mother, she throws me a biscuit" 

4. Robin Smith and Merv Hughesuring 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith after he played and missed:"You can't f(_)cking bat". Smith to Hughes after he smacked him to the boundary: "Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can't f (_)cking bat and you can't f(_)cking bowl." 

5. Merv Hughes and Javed Miandaduring 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called Merv a fat bus conductor. A few balls later Merv dismissed Javed: "Tickets please", Merv called out as he ran past the departing batsman.   

6. Merv Hughes and Viv Richardsuring a test match in the West Indies, Hughes didn't say a word to Viv, but continued to stare at him after deliveries. "This is my island, my culture. Don't you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl." Merv didn't reply, but after he dismissed him he announced to the batsman: "In my culture we just say f(_)ck off." 

7. And of course you can't forget Ian Healy's legendary comment which was picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... "You don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat cuunnt!!!"   

8. James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was greeted by Mark Waugh....... MW : "F(_)k me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here, there's no way you're good enough to play for England" JO : "Maybe not, but at least i'm the best player in my family"   

9. McGrath to Ramnaresh Sarwan: "So what does Brian Lara's dick taste like?"Sarwan: "I don't know. Ask your wife." McGrath (losing it): "If you ever F(_)cking mention my wife again, I'll F(_)cking rip your Fing throat out." 

10. Mark Waugh standing at second slip, the new player (Adam Parore) comes to the crease playing and missing the first ball. Mark - "Ohh, I remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were sh it then, you're f (_)cking useless now". Parore- (Turning around) "Yeah, that's me and when I was there you were going out with that old, ugly sl(_)t and now I hear you've married her. You dumb cuuntt". 

11. Yet another Australian witticism with this time porky Sri Lankan batsman Arjuna Ranatunga the victim. Shane Warne, trying to tempt the batsman out of his crease mused what it took to get the plump character to get out of his crease and drive. Wicketkeeper Ian Healy piped up, "Put a Mars Bar on a good length. That should do it." 

12. Ravi shastri v/s the aussie 12th man, shastri hits it to this guy and looks for a single...this guy gets the ball in and says "if you leave the crease i'll break your f(_)cking head" Shastri: "if you could bat as well as you can talk you wouldn't be the f(_)cking 12th man" 

13. Malcolm Marshall was bowling to David Boon who had played and missed a couple of times. Marshall : "Now David, Are you going to get out now or am I going to have to bowl around the wicket and kill you?" 

14. Fred Trueman bowling. The batsman edges and the ball goes to first slip,and right between Raman Subba Row's legs. Fred doesn't say a word. At the end of the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises sheepishly. "I should've kept my legs together, Fred". "So should your mother" he replied.

No Apologies - TRAPT

Holding your breath, holding your tongue
you're only holding yourself back
So much to say, so far to run,
out from the shadow you have cast.


The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

Closing the door, closing your eyes,
You're only closing yourself off.
So much to see, so much to try,
Don't be afraid of what you want.

The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

Don't wanna be no one else
What you see is what you get
No one to please, no apologies, no apologies

The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

"Open Your Eyes" ALTER BRIDGE

Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all

Constantly it burdens me

Hard to trust and can't believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

I love the way I feel today

But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run

It's hard to walk this path alone

Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one

Still today we carry on

I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one
(its hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go)
Will they open their eyes
and realize we are one
(lost the faith and lost the love when the day is done)

Will they open their eyes

And realize we are one
