Description: The 4th Test between Australia and the West Indies certainly had its share of Shakespearean moments - the drama of a record second-innings run chase, the colour of the Antiguan crowd, the tension of the on-field confrontations. The West Indian vice-captain, 21-year-old Ramnaresh Sarwan, was steering his side towards a second-innings total of 417. At the other end, fast bowler Glenn McGrath was desperately trying to turn the game Australia's way. But having been belted for 21 runs in two overs, McGrath could contain himself no longer, and resorted to an unoriginal, homophobic-themed sledge, with Sarwan replying with an equally cliched retort relating to his rival's wife. McGrath to Sarwan: "What does Brian Lara's ---- taste like?" Sarwan replied: "I don't know, ask your wife." McGrath began to walk away before turning back and heading to within a foot of Sarwan, screaming: "If you ever f------ mention my wife again, I'll f------ rip your f------ throat out." McGrath complained to umpire David Shepherd that Sarwan had referred to his wife Jane. Just goes to show that bully boys like Mcgrath cant hack the heat when its returned in spades.

AirHoward ::: Favorites i have no idea what your problem is with this incident. Mcgrath sledged then got sledged back and he got upset which anyone would do after being better sledged and being outplayed. Good on both of them. As for being upthemselves that is just bs, you just listen to your media bashing them cos Aus has the best players, i bet you couldnt show me an incident where the players say or do something "cocky" 07-09-05 23:14:20 _____________________________________________________
