Once, a fast bowler was getting frustrated with a batsman who was playing defensively. He sledged, 'You're so scared, you might as well go back to the pavilion!' The batsman replied, 'I'm not scared, I'm just waiting for the right ball to smash you all over the park.' And soon enough, he did just that, hitting a couple of boundaries in a row.
There was a situation where a new batsman came to the crease. The fielding team sledged him by saying, 'You don't belong here, you're out of your depth.' But the batsman, full of confidence, said, 'I'll show you where I belong - at the non - striker's end after hitting a century!' He didn't quite get a century, but his positive attitude was commendable and he played a good innings.
A well - known sledging story is when a spinner was bowling. He said to the batsman, 'You can't read my spin, you're just guessing.' The batsman cheekily responded, 'Guessing right so far, mate!' and then hit the next ball for six.
In a test match, a bowler who was having a tough time getting a wicket sledged the batsman. He said, 'You can't even see my deliveries properly, can you?' The batsman, in a very calm manner, said, 'Oh, I see them just fine. In fact, I'm seeing them all the way to the boundary.' And then he actually hit the next ball for a four.
In a local cricket game, the umpire was a bit hard of hearing. When a batsman hit the ball and started running, the fielder threw the ball back to the wicket - keeper. But the umpire thought he heard a different call and sent the batsman back when he was clearly safe. The confusion on everyone's faces was hilarious and it took a while to sort out the mess.
There was this umpire who had a rather large moustache. During a match, a small bird landed on his moustache while he was concentrating on a lbw decision. He didn't even notice at first, and when he finally did, his sudden movement to shoo the bird away made everyone laugh. The players had to take a break to compose themselves before the game could continue.
There was an old story about a cricket player who was known for his superstitions. Before every match, he would do a little dance in the dressing room. One day, he forgot to do it and was so worried during the match that he made all kinds of comical mistakes, like running in the wrong direction while trying to take a run.
One funny story is about a match where an Indian player tried to run for a run but his shoes came off. He continued running barefoot while his shoes were left in the middle of the pitch. It was hilarious as the fielders were confused whether to pick up the shoes or keep chasing the ball.
Sure. There was a match where a fielder was so distracted by a butterfly that he completely missed the ball coming his way. The ball hit him right on the head, and he just stood there looking dazed while everyone burst out laughing.
One scary cricket story could be about a cricket that haunted an old cricket stadium. People claimed to hear the chirping of a single cricket at night when the stadium was empty. They said the sound echoed in the empty stands, and some even thought it was the spirit of a cricketer who had died on the field long ago.
Once, an Indian batsman was facing a very fast bowler. The bowler bowled a bouncer and the batsman ducked so hard that his helmet fell off. Then, as he tried to put it back on quickly, he put it on backwards. Everyone on the field burst out laughing. It was a light - hearted moment in a tense match.
There was this small village cricket team where the wicket - keeper was a bit clumsy. During a crucial moment, the batsman hit a hard shot and the ball flew towards the keeper. Instead of catching it cleanly, he fumbled and the ball bounced off his head, but luckily it still landed in his gloves, much to everyone's amusement. In village cricket, such comical moments are quite common as the players are not always highly trained professionals but play with great enthusiasm.
Sure. There was a match where a fielder was so distracted by a seagull flying overhead that he completely missed the ball coming his way and ended up falling flat on his face. The whole stadium burst into laughter.
