Sledging
Sledging & chirping, are definitely a part of Last Man Stands. But please remember its social game so keep the banter fairly friendly.
We are buidling a list of the best chirps from our leagues (send in yours to cricket "at" lastmanstands.com)
Christchurch NZ 2009 (Charles Grey - Mantonios)
Charles Grey walks to the pitch, as the number 12 ranked batter in Last Man Stands WORLD standings. An average of 312 a strike rate of 240 and
for some reason blocks the first ball. The lone voice of Charley Corban calls from the cow corner boundary, "whats going on Terry Test Match?" the next ball went sailing over his head with Chucky reaching 50 just 14 balls later!

London 2009 Harry Gayner (Oxleys Occassionals)
Loving the stat-o-meter!
Cark and Oldridge will be chuffed to be in their respective top 100s. thankfully when the player profile photo facility gets launched everyone will be able to see how ugly they are....
AUCKLAND 2008 - Tom Willis from
"The Rock" went out to bat wearing sun glasses against "Mowtown Jugernorts". A couple of balls went pass the bat. A bald guy from Mowtown shouted, "Take ya sunnies off and you might be able to see it". Tom replied, "The only thing i cant see is your hair".
Tom went on to win the game for The Rock with the bat.
JOHANNESBURG 2007 - Erik Van der Merwe, gets hit for a LARGE 6, over the fence and into 11th Avenue outside Old Eds. A vehicle pulls over as the ball bounces in front of him. The driver waits for the traffic to move. Gets out, picks up the ball, throws it back over, and yells, "TAKE HIM OFF" with a big grin!
LONDON 2005 - Gordon Robinson - "I am not a bad sport, but that wasn't out!"
