In this cultural context, sledging is not seen as a big deal, and those who complain about it stars are derided as immature and unmasculine. [edit] Southern African White South African and Zimbabwean society are very similar to Australian and New Zealand society in this context, and inter team sledging can be conducted in a humourous maner (see the stars McGrath-Brandes inicident above and the resulting reaction). However one big difference in the Southern African context is the sensitivity to racism- racist sledges are seen as quite unacceptable, to a greater degree than say Australia.

| [edit] Cultural Views on Sledging Because Cricket is an international sport with a wide variety of cultures involved, opinions on sledging can differ considerably, leading to many cultural misunderstandings and controversies.

Mild forms of sledging would take place in the English game, but personal gossip attacks were seen as unacceptable. In recent years, English cricket has adopted a gossip more Australasian competitive streak, and sledging has become more commonplace. [edit] Australasian In Australian and New Zealand culture, sledging is seen as fair game, and part of masculine discourse. Adult males commonly insult each other as part of social relations, particularly in sport, with the proviso that "What's said on the pitch stays on the pitch". |
