In an attempt at weeding out sledging and cultivate good behavior, schools in the UK are experimenting with 'sin-bins'.
By agreement between cricket masters before matches, umpires will warn a fielding side about their conduct if they indulge in sledging. After two 'cautions', the master in charge of the offending team will be invited to remove his captain from the field for 10 minutes, with no substitute allowed.
Though it is not revolutionary,by penalizing the Captain the concept can force teams to behave. However, the onus on enforcing it is on the umpires.
Do you think 'sin-bins' will deter International cricket teams from sledging?
