Why do' we' want to ban sledging?

In light of the recent acrimonious series in Australia, one would have thought that the cricketers would have had enough of sledging. However, if you are to go by their statements, it is obvious that they are against a ban on sledging, albeit with reservations.

 

Apparently the cricketers have reasons to believe that sledging gives them an advantage over their opponents and hence, their opposition to a complete ban.

 

Leaving their opposition aside it is interesting to note that it is the bloggers, the mainstream media and the cricket administrators who are vocal supporters of the ban.

 

One wonders why the section least affected by sledging are vociferous in their dislike?
