sledgers
Snow vehicle riders
Sledgers are people who ride on sledges—flat vehicles with runners designed to travel over snow or ice.
In cricket slang, sledgers are players who engage in sledging: verbal taunts and psychological intimidation directed at opponents, especially batsmen.
The sledgers kept up a constant stream of chatter behind the wicket.
