But while we are on the subject of cricket, for great insults, nothing beats this one. Australian fast bowler Glen McGrath was struggling to dismiss Zimbabwean Edo Brandes in a test match and decided to employ sledging as a tactic to unnerve his portly opponent. "why are you so fat?", The Australian enquired. "Because every time I fuck your wife, she gives me a biscuit", was the reply to the stunned Aussie.

The nearest I came to doing so was when Sir Winton Turnbull, a member of the cavalleria rusticana, was raving and ranting on the adjournment and shouted: "I am a Country member". I interjected "I remember". He could not understand why, for the first time in all the years he had been speaking in the House, there was instant and loud applause from both sides.</blockquote> One from Gough Whitlam’s memoirs:
