In the sport of cricket,sledging is the practice of deliberately insulting or verbally intimidating an opposing player. The purpose is to try to weaken the opponent's concentration,thereby causing them to underperform or be more prone to error. It can be effective because the batsman stands well within hearing range of the bowler and certain close fielders,and vice versa. The insults may be direct or may feature in conversations among fielders which are intended to be overheard by the batsman. The term has also been used in other sports,as when the tennis player Nick Kyrgios insulted his opponent,Stan Wawrinka,by referring to a purported encounter between another player and the latter's girlfriend.
