What exactly did McGrath say?

[Winmar]

What exactly did GM say to watzisname? I heard it was pretty bad, and was about sleeping with Lara or something, but not much else.

 

[St-KriS]

McGrath asked him whats it like sleeping with Lara. Sarwan replied with "you had better ask your wife" and then McGrath flew off the handle.

Not exactly word for word, but thats the basic gist of it.

 

[Dipper]

If ever there was classic case of being able to dish it out but not take it then it's McGrath, I mean how dare anyone answer him back or bring up his wife who everyone should know is fighting illness.

Obviously it's acceptable in his world to hurl unsubstantiated accusations of homosexuality at people but there's just some lines that you don't cross (not that Sarwan did anyway, it was all part of McGrath's raging paranoia).

Exactly. He's happy to sledge Sarwan and then he cops it and he goes of then he goes of his rocka. If you can't take it don't give it out to begin with.

The comment by McGrath was probably a reference to the fact that Sarwan has freely admitted that he has modelled his game on Lara's. Pathetic cheap shot. An extremely witty and obviously effective retort by Sarwan though. McGrath should know his limitations. A rocket scientist he ain't. He is a fast bowler after all.

Rule no. 1: Never try to take the **** out of someone who's smarter than you. I'll bet that the thing which upset McGrath most was not the reference to his wife, but the fact that this little 'darky' made him look like the drongo he is, in front of his team mates. Bullies resent being made to look stupid in front of the people they are trying to impress. Oh there was another thing. The 'darky' was also belting him and his mates all around the park, and sometimes out of it. Who says there's no justice in sport?

 

[Dipper]

He came off second best against a SA or Zimb batsman who made some crack about McGrath being on his period or suffering from PMS, apparently he didn't take too kindly too it, as Skilts would say I laughed like a drain when I read it.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen written on here.

it is called "public domain"

Basically, McGrath said "What does Brian Lara's d1ck taste like" and Sarwan said "I dunno, ask your wife" and McGrath went off

Now the first time it's happened to him.

How about the David Brain one

McGrath: "Why are you so fat!!"
Brain: "Cause every time I fu(k your wife you gives me a cookie"


Anyone watch the fat last week and they were talking about it, and there was a sledge from Big Merv to Javed Maindad:

Javed: "You're too fat to be playing test cricket, you should be a bus driver or something"

a few balls later Javed is bowled by Hughes

Hughes runs down the wicket and says "tickets please"

Brain?
I thought it was Eddo Brandes who came up with that reply.

My own personal fave of clever retort is the oft-told story of Viv Richards in a county match. A swing and a miss by Richards resulted in the bowler, Greg Thomas telling Viv, "It's red, round and weighs about 5 ounces." Next ball Viv, hits a massive six out of the ground and tells Thomas, "Greg, you know what it looks like. Go ahead and find it!".

I posted this one on here ages ago as a mate told me about it but I wasn't sure if it was true or not so I'm glad you confirmed it for me, the reason it made me laugh was that apparently to call some one a bus conductor( I thought it was conductor-same thing I suppose) in Pakistan is a big insult, so I could just picture big Merv running down the wicket shouting 'tickets please' & therein lies the difference between Merv & McGrath-Merv was actually a very witty fellow.

When he was giving Viv a mouthful & Viv replied 'you can't talk to me like that here this my culture & my people' & then when Merv got him a few balls alter he ran down the wicket shouting 'In my culture mate we say p1ss off' -that is just hilarious, I can just imagine Viv's face, I bet he was steaming.

The ridiculous thing about this was that although Greg Thomas was the great white hope of English fast bowling in the mid 80s & was pretty pacy he could have doubled as a scud missile launcher, (he once went for about 100 runs off 10 overs in a Test in the carribean for no wickets) experience must have taught him that he was going to coem a cropper mouthing off to Viv like that.
