Nobody should get a free ride, Muslim or otherwise

That said, it's always going to be a difficult sledge when he's knocking you to all corners at will and there's nothing you can do to stop him. Perhaps we'll see a bit of sledging IF the 'world's best bowlers' manage to scrape together a wicket or two in the next match.

How is that twisting things, I won't stoop to insulting you.

"So, you don't sledge certain people I guess and Yousuf is Amla's brothers, so"

So why don't you insult Yousuf or Amla, the only common link I see to them is that they are muslims...so please enlighten!!

I also said "Yousuf is Amla's brother" is that true? No it feckin ain't. Cannot you see I was joking? The only reason I mentioned Yousuf was because when he was sledged the commentators said his reaction was out of character. And, seeing Amla in his interviews he seems a type of bloke that you wouldn't sledge.

But, had you asked me before this series I would've said sledge every single RSA player except for Kallis.

Apology accepted

You can carry on jogging if you think I'm apologising.

It's ok to be wrong and apologise, not gonna make you smaller man...your backtracking from that comment is a form of an apology and I have big heart therefore I will forget and forgive.

Ding Dong, you carry on thinking that in your head, if the satisfies you then so be it... Otherwise, you always know my answer...

The reason I raised the question of sledging is that bowlers use it to try and raise their aggression which they need when the batsmen are on top. We saw Steyn's anger translate into wicket taking but our lot were laughing and grinning a hell of a lot instead.
