On the contrary, many viewers might be more interested in the abuses and counter abuses rather than watching the game itself. Therefore I ask why not have 20-20 abuses before every match. Each team should be entitled to shout 20 obnoxious words about their opponents. They could always learn a thing or two from WWF matches. The spectators would appreciate if a player pulled out the wickets and hit the umpire on his head. The umpire, too, should be a good actor. He should fall flat immediately and let the captain count 10 before replacing him. Dhoni has asked young players to learn the art of sledging. According to him, players should know how to react gracefully even after being provoked without getting fined. In fact, sledging should be permitted in a more explicit way. Imagine Bhajji shouting at top of his voice before the match, "Maar ke doosra tujhe Jalandhar pahuncha doon Phenk ke googly tujhe bandar bana doon" And Mathew Hayden would roar out in defence of the Australians, "I’ll hit you out of the boundary mad boy. I’ll make you forget bowling you bad boy!" At the prize distribution ceremony don’t be surprised if you hear that the trophy for the best abuses had gone to Australia.

I
fail to understand why one team or the other in cricket is always
complaining about the use of foul language during the match. A lot of
time is wasted in conducting enquiries by the ICC and then reacting on
the decision of the apex body.
