#2 Kiran More v Javed Miandad
Possibly one of the funniest incidents of sledging, involving India’s Kiran More and Pakistan vice-captain Javed Miandad in a high octane World Cup clash in 1992.
The wicket-keeper had invited the wrath of Miandad for chirping a tad too much from behind the stumps and for appealing unnecessarily. Despite the Pakistani taking it to the umpire, More was in no mood to tone down.
All of a sudden, Miandad did something that was totally unexpected: mimicking More. The right-hander hit the ball to mid off and started jumping on the ground, appealing for a dismissal.
Too much involvement in the "frog jumping" incident seemed to have distracted him, as he was soon dismissed; consequently, his country lost the match and the Indians had the last laugh, literally.
