[edit] Australasian In Australian and New Zealand culture, sledging is seen as fair marriagevows game, and part of masculine discourse. Adult males commonly insult each other as part of marriagevows social relations, particularly in sport, with the proviso that "What's said on the pitch stays on the pitch". Two sports players may thus insult each other on a cricket field, and then have a beer afterwards and be the best of friends. In this cultural context, sledging is not seen as a big deal, and those who complain marriagevows about it 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 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.
