Australia v India

Why have I given up on test cricket almost? I agree Kohli looked a twat for wlking past and banging against his shoulder, but f*** me it was a bump and he looks a dick but that's about it? He didn't hurt him or anything. The game supporters seem to be looking for things to sqeal about?? My son here and he going crook, I reminded him of the sldging etc they used to do when he played rep cricket, that would hurt a lot more than that.

To be fair to Kohli, the way the kid curls his top lip as the bowler is approaching is pretty bloody annoying.

Because cricket isn't rugby. Or even football. Contact is not required or allowed, and Kohli deliberately sought it out.

@voodoo I’m making lighter of it than you are, yes. I’m happy to agree to disagree and walk away, but:
Aussie comms agree? That is a non existent argument. If you don’t worship the altar of Oz cricket, you cannot commentate their summer.
Ravi Shastri and Michael Vaughan. Hardly Aussie sycophants

Smith with a second ton in two matches. That's 34 in Tests, and not far from 10k
You can thank me for that! I said in the first test I thought age was catching up with him, and that his dodgy technique walking across his stumps would finally be found out now his eye is not as good... so he goes and scores two superb tons! Incredible player.

Who cares?
Aussies been treating opposition like shit for years on their home territory. Anybody want their fuckin arm broken?
Don’t condone it, but no interest in Aussies getting pissy about it.
Really?
I thought it was really fucking average behaviour. The captain of the most popular cricket team on the planet intentionally shouldering a 19yr old kid on debut because he was slapping their bowlers around a bit. What a complete piston wristed gibbon.
And what a pathetically (yet totally expected) weak sanction.
He should have been banned from the 5th test as a minimum. This wasn’t a few words about his mum, this isn’t getting into his head. It was deliberate physical contact.
And don’t get me started on the way he carried on like a wounded pork chop who’d been on the receiving end of a Jerry Collin’s special
Complete fuckwit, how could you look your wife and kids in the eye after that?
Both things can be true.
Kohli being a petulant piston wristed gibbon who should be banned and not wanting to put up with the bleating of some precious fans who delighted in the sportsmanship of underarm bowling...

At first glance I don't think that was Virat's call...
Definitely the striker's call.
Kohli turned to watch the ball instead of getting into gear
