verbal confrontation is known for football matches but now it is taking place in cricket matches mostly in India-Pak matches, India-Australia matches where most of matches are heart beaten and close encounters. On this issue famous cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle comments that Yellow and red cards, even a sin-bin, are not bad ideas for the goodness of game of cricket.
He says-- verbal confrontation
can upset a player. It is one of the more disagreeable aspects of our
game, which, at its best, is a contest between bat and ball across
different conditions. Teams that feel the need to abuse bring the game
into disrepute and the quicker we stamp that out the better off we will
be. It will not make the game softer; bravery lies in combating the
opposition and the conditions, not in abuse. Already far too many
fifteen-year-olds have started behaving badly because they emulate their
heroes. Yellow and red cards, even a sin-bin, are not bad ideas.
