I'm not so concerned about the top levels of the sport, but on a weekly basis, (I play in the Derbyshire League) even in Village Cricket, you get some load mouthed yob who thinks he's dead smart for giving a load of verbal - usually from the slips. (Although they do tend to shut up once they let a few chances fly them by!) Play hard, play fair and play to win. But giving some 50 something year old bloke a load of abuse because he's played and missed a few times isn't on. People want to enjoy their saturday/sunday afternoons, whiling away there last few years of playing in a relaxed atmosphere.

Apparently, they look upon it as an insult because calling someone a monkey is like equating them with apes, which apparently is like saying that they are one step behind us "humans" in the evolutionary cycle, and are consequently backward and primitive. IMO, bollocks. But whatever. Different poisons for different people. Gorilla Bananas, it’s not that simple.

Monkeys are very agile. Any Australian cricketer who is called a monkey should feel complimented. Why is calling someone ‘a monkey’ an insult? Monkeys are very agile.
