Ten most epic stump-cam conversations in cricket

2. This happened in one of the encounters in the 1989 Ashes. The English batsman Robin Smith wasn’t quite comfortable facing Merv Hughes who was really testing him. After another play and a miss, Merv came up with this taunt, “You can’t f**king bat”.

Smith chose to remain quiet and hit the next ball to the boundary and offered an apt reply, “Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can’t f**king bat and you can’t f**king bowl.”

Hughes and Smith had a certain rivalry on the cricket field, you can see some for yourself here.

1. This truly epic conversation took place when James Ormond was the next man in for England in an Ashes test match of 2001. When he reached the crease, Mark Waugh tried having a word or two to unsettle him, “F**k me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here? There’s no way you’re good enough to play for England.”

Ormond had the perfect reply ready- “Maybe not, but at least I’m the best player in my family.”
