England coach Moores wants stump mics turned off

i dont think so ... if the mic is not turned down then probably the players would keep their emotions under control and hence it would be continued to be called the 'gentleman's game'

Yeah right and then next thing he will want the stumps placed behind the wicket keeper i think this is all because the poms feel guilty that they have said thing on the feild which they should not have and have set a bad example for this game of cricket whic is termed a gentlemans game and yes they also want to continue it but they do not want the media to cover it and show them bad in the public well i will like to tell them that either face the brickbacks or shut up or improve

Sporting spirit with which the game used to be played once upon a time has now been taken over by aggrasiveness and anger. Players doesn't mind even hurting other also. This can be seen by the beamers, bouncers and short pitches delievered during the game. The days of bodyline is coming back. Sledging is ok but players should be having the control on them and use it for constructive oputput as Zaheer did. But there are not so matured ones also like sreesant.

I agree, although I don't mind hearing the sledging especially from players such as Warne and McGrath from Australia. Cricket is a sport where professional athletes need to be able to take whatever sledging comes their way.
