ICC Ban Sledging

[sohum]

How old are you? You sound like an old women who can't handle a little bit've verbal.

You're the young'un. The real world is not about showing off how dirty your mouth is.

Sledging adds that extra dimension to the game of cricket which makes it that extra bit exciting and keeps our eyes tuned.

No it doesn't. I don't think there is anything about confrontations that is visually appealing. Any extra dimension that is accorded by sledging is trivial.

Funny sledging (See: Sanga vs Pollock) is hilarious.
But once you cross "the line" it gets unnecessary and redundant and only causes controversies.

I don't see how using the word f**king in a sentence or saying a batsman's s**t is offensive.

 

[SciD]

Well if it aint offensive then how come its not allowed on PC.

 

[Sureshot]

Some people find swearing offensive. Given that PC has members as young as 11 (even younger I think), we will not condone the use of swearing. It's not needed anyway.

Professional Cricketers are meant to be role models to young children.

Justy imagine a child going home and saying to his parents: "I got that effing batsmen out batsmen out cos 'e were sh*t."

Great stuff there I must say...
