After David Warner’s incident we tried to find out how does sledging happen in Australian Cricket grounds on different levels.


Manny Singh came to Australia more than ten years ago but he still recall how he was greeted on cricket pitch in his first match. He says calling names is not what happens on pitch, opponents can pick on your body structure, ethnicity or even shape/size of shoes.

He says initially it was hard but now it doesn’t bother him.

On the other hand Aryan Chugh who is a budding cricketer with United Tarneit Sports Club says he has seen sledging on TV and feels its ok till it’s in good humour.
