well being a Wicket Keeper myself i have to say it really depends on the batsmen at the crease.
and in all fairness i dont sledge the batsmen i usually taunt them by heckling the bowler.
For example, if a batsmen trys to smash our slow non spinner out the ground, i'll shout "come on then Julie show him the slower ball" or if he keeps missing the ball when its turning, we shout the opposite! "show him the one that turns"
a classic is "somebody call Stanstead (Airport) let them know Hugh is bowling" all about confusing the batsmen and not letting him know whats coming next? i dont like it when wicket keepers sledge batsmen and its personal!
one keeper last week was commenting on my Aero Pads. He started taking the mick, calling them hockey pads. then heckling. I turned round to him and told him to shut the F up and get on with his Job! his slips were creasing up!
