Matthew Hayden was in a form slump and breathing down his neck for selection was Phil Jacques.
Haydos had also just released a cook book and was walking off the SCG one day after scoring bugger all and heard from 20 rows back ' Hayden you're finished and that chicken casserole of yours on pg 68 tastes terrible'.

Another said to Merv Hughes when he was in the twilight of his career ' He's three yards slower than a statue now'  :D

The best one ever was Merv when he was playing the Pakis. Javed Miandad was smashing him and calling him a fat bus driver. So Merv rips his middle stump out with a yorker and as Javed goes by he holds out his hand and goes "Tickets Please"  ;D

Ian Healy-

During a WSC final at the SCG where the game had
been shortened due to
rain and the atmosphere was running at about 95%
humidity a very exhausted
Arjuna Ranatunga appealed that he had "sprained"
something.

He duly asked the umpire for a runner. As clear as a bell
through the effects mic you heard Healy's legendary reply
"you don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat c#$%".

The other, and best I've read about, was by David Hookes to that tall streak of crap, Tony Grieg in the Centenary Test. Grieg was sledging from in close to unsettle Hooksey and after a bit when Hookes wasn't responding Grieg came out with 'Come on, you baby faced barbie, you're too young to be out here playing with men.'
Hookesy's comeback: 'At least I am an Australian, representing my own country in a Test match!!' Conversation over

Ricky Ponting & Shaun Pollock - After beating the bat a few times in a row, Pollock told Ponting it's red, round & weighs about 5 ounces. The next ball was hammered out of the ground. Then Punter said you know what it looks like, now go find it.

Viv Richards did it to Ian Botham better. Only he used more colorful language.

QuoteRicky Ponting & Shaun Pollock: After going past the outside edge with
a couple of deliveries, Pollock told Ponting: "It's red, round & weighs
about 5 ounces." Unfortunately for Pollock, the next ball was hammered
out of the ground. Ponting yelled to Pollock: "you know what it looks
like, now go find it."
