Stump microphone may be switched off during the third Test

England coach Peter Moores and skipper Michael Vaughan have spoken to ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle about the prospect of asking Sky Sports to turn down the volume on the stump microphones in the final Test at The Oval Frm August 9.
Madugalle, who plans to speak to both sides about their behaviour before the Oval Test, seems to be intent in instilling some more discipline in the cricket proceedings after England endured considerable embarrassment for their misdeeds at Trent Bridge. Even the Indians were guilty of misbehavivour.
Regular viewers will have heard England's players attempt to unsettle the Indian batsmen with regular chatter and Moores is concerned the players should not have to worry about their comments also being heard by cricket followers.
Both Vaughan and Moores have insisted England's behaviour was no more than gamesmanship and they have not breached the spirit of cricket by which all international teams have to abide.
"It's been under consideration.There have to be some things which are left on the field to be fair to the players so they can actually go and play the game without worrying that everything they do and say is going straight into someone's lounge,” Moores said
