New Australian Cricket coach Justin Langer has revealed which sledge he heard during his career that he felt crossed the line.
There will be plenty of interest into which approach the Australian team will take to sledging under Langer following calls from Cricket Australia to change the culture after the ball-tampering scandal.
Langer played 105 tests for Australia in a career that included 360 first class games. He said in a press conference yesterday there were two incidences in his career where sledging got really personal and it crossed the line.
"I think back to there was one with Glenn McGrath with [Ramnaresh] Sarwan in the West Indies that was a very sensitive time for Pigeon at the time but it probably crossed the line and there was consequences for that."
In the 2003 test at St John's, Sarwan made a comment about McGrath's wife Jane. She was battling cancer at the time and died five years later.
