This has been going on for way too long. And there seems to be no concrete solution. And with the "Sydneygate" controversy, players and their boards are just better equipped to defend themselves against charges of sledging whenever they might arise.
The need of the hour, thus is more technology on the ground. How about arming the 2 on-field umpires with sensitive microphones with noise cancelling features.That would help the equipment to pick up specific frequency of sound ( read player's voice ) as against the roar of the spectators in the stadium.
Also, how about putting similar microphones like landmines all over the playing field?? The players would be very careful then. Thats a given. With ICC making money in millions of dollars, I am sure they can spare a thought for this. Then a Hayden or a Hogg or even for that matter our very own Sree or Bhajji won't be able to get away with their below the belt banter (if any).
