"Sledging" - a term used to describe the practice whereby the players seek to gain advantage by insulting the opposing player. Australians were the first one to bring this in to the gentleman's game and to be fair they have mastered the art of sledging. Later several nations started sledging not only to gain advantage but also to express the frustration and anger towards the opposition.
