Aussie cricketer Rod Marsh's famous line "so how's your wife and my kids" has taken the title of the best cricket sledge of all time.

According to 1,000 cricket fans who were polled by the ice cream sandwich company Maxibon to launch their first sponsorship of the English county, Yorkshire Vikings T20 side.

The former Australian wicketkeeper used the line to intimidate England's Ian Botham in the 1986-87 Ashes test.

But Botham struck back with a witty line of his own responding "Wife is fine, kids are r******d."

Is that really the greatest cricket sledge of all time? 

How about this from Adam Parore?

Waugh: “I remember you from a couple of years ago. You were shit then and you’re f*cken useless now!”.

Parore:“Yeah that’s me. And I remember you were dating that old, ugly sl*t. I see you’ve married her now. You dumb c***”.

Or this from Colin Munro?
