For those who think sledging is a new thing. And that it is an Aussie thing.

[Colin Kynoch]

"One of the umpires told me, after the scalding afternoon's play was
over: "Never again; no more 'standin' ' in Yorkshire and Lancashire
matches for me. Why, this afternoon, when them two lads were knockin'
t'stuffin' out of t'Yorkshire bowlers, the row and racket on t'field
were awful. George Macaulay were cussin' 'is 'ead off, and Emmott
were mutterin' to 'isself, and poor owd captain 'ad been sent out into
t'outfield so's 'e couldn't 'ear. At last I 'ad to call order; I said
'Now look 'ere, you chaps, how the 'ell do you expect me and me pal
'Arry to umpire in a bloody parrot 'ouse?'"

And no this wasn't written by some Aussie trying to divert attention,
it was written by Neville Cardus in "Autobiography" Published by
Collins in 1947 in Australia. page 154.

The match in question fell between 1924 and 1930. I am sure that
someone like Mike Holmans would be able to pinpoint the match. It
occurred at Leeds and the score was 3 for not much and then two
'novices' scored centuries.

OK - Sledging existed and then reduced or almost died and then was
resurrected by the Aussies who took it to new levels. IMHO.

Satisfied?

No, because your hypothesis is not valid.

I have read of examples of sledging through pretty much all Test eras.

Sledging and gamesmanship is not a new phenomena in cricket, it has
always been there.

Who are these people who said sledging was a new thing and an Aussie thing?

Or is this some sort of attempt to dredge up posts from the past?

Ho Ho Ho. Gamesmanship is as English as getting spanked and loving it:
