Chin music on the cricket pitch

Circular file

We're constantly on the watch for references to "chin music." The phrase is more adaptable than a cockroach, finding new strength through baseball, the jazz age, rap, pro wrestling. And today, I spotted this reference in an article about a cricket match in South Africa. It's used in the second paragraph.

I'm thinking "chin music" is being used as a synonym for "trash talking" here, but perhaps it is cricket's version of a brushback pitch or something different altogether? If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd be much obliged.
