I reckon sledging is a waste of time.  Chatter is part of the game, but sledging opens you up to snappy come backs.

Some of the best comebacks to sledging were directed towards Glenn McGrath, who typically instigated it;

e.g.  "hey Eddie, why are you so fat?"  was responded to by "because everytime I ##### your wife she gives me a biscuit"

or my favourite "what does Brian Lara's $$$$ taste like?"  was slapped down with "I dunno, ask your wife"

And MacGrath would go off his trolley and bowl like a busted crab.  Morale of story... don't sledge and expect the receiver not to give it back with interest.
