Who are the best sledgers in the cricketing world and who are the meek victims walking back to the pavilion having been talked into getting out?

[T]he act of verbally abusing or unsettling a batsman, in an attempt to make him lose concentration and give his wicket away. Often offensive, occasionally amusing, always a topic of conversation.

As per the definition, sledging can take different forms.

It can be humourous, aggressive, clever, stupid or sometimes just plain bizarre. Some players partake frequently, using it to pump themselves up or maintain concentration. Others stay as quiet as a mouse and remain in the zone.
