How can you define sledging, asks Mark Taylor

8220;It will be very hard to work out what exactly sledging is. You would have to define it,8221; Taylor said reacting to reports that the BCCI would propose to ban sledging at the International Cricket Council8217;s meeting next week.

Taylor, who is a member of the ICC cricket committee, said it was up to all countries to evaluate the merit of the BCCI proposal.

8220;Fast bowlers steam in for 30 overs a day and are going to get a bit hot under the collar. A batsman gets some fortunate edges and it8217;s hard for the bowler to just turn around and say, 8216;Oh, my luck is not in today8217;,8221; said the former opener, who played 104 Tests.

8220;That might happen in sixth grade but not in international cricket and nor should it,8221; he said.

BCCI Secretary Niranjan Singh reportedly will submit a request to the ICC to outlaw any words that border on offensive in matches.

8220;There will be cultural issues raised post the Sydney incident, so it8217;s better to just cut out everything that could remotely cause a problem.8221;
