4th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 26-30 1000hrs @ the MCG

[Borisdog]

His approach was to diffuse the situation. He knew it was Kohli’s fault, hence he put his arm around him and didn’t bother doing anything to Konstas because he knew the kid did not do anything wrong.

As for this team, I think they have been irretrievably scarred from sandpaper gate that they do not want to do anything that could be seen as antagonistic and inflammatory behaviour.

Which is exactly why some players who think they're above the game will continue to behave like Kohli did.

And why it was the UMPIRE'S role to put Kohli down.

And EXACTLY why I believe Usman should have been defending his young teammate.

I am completely aware of what Usman was doing.

I just happen to believe it was the wrong thing for him to do.

BJ and Brad Haddin were clear last night what they thought. I thought Warner was reluctant to give too much of an opinion.

Wonder why

 

[sherb]

I don't know these idiots would be up there

Yep they think it's woke to say Happy Boxing Day Test Eve.
What simpletons.

Dear KeirAndo wasn't the only one who didn't get the joke.

The triggered RW snowflakes were out in force........

 

[Around the Wicket]

Malcolm Marshall would be my first pick, McGrath second, Bumrah third

McGrath is number 1.

Saying Merry Boxing Day Test has been a thing since the Boxing day test was a thing. It's funny to see people lose thier minds

 

[Around the Wicket]

Kohl’s should be missing the last Test, cricket simply isn’t a physical sport.

Christmas being cancelled is more an article of faith to these people than anything else.

 

[Black Diamond]

Mark Waugh went quite hard, adamant a suspension was appropriate.

Deserves a shout for that.

He has gone hard again on Fox just now.

 

[TigerCraig]

News Ltd with a Sam Konstas Commemorative Boxing Day poster. seriously!

Missing Tony Greig with his limited edition framed memorabilia

 

[BGman]

Ricky Ponting not happy with it only being a fine

Who was. Deliberate, arrogant and immature. Kohli has never grown up. Sam took it like the mature man he is fast becoming.

So RW these days is bible bashers?

 

[TigerCraig]

I could play both left and right handed and suggested I could change sides to hit shots while batting and a guy who was an umpire told me it was illegal……
30 years ago suburban cricket. Would have been fun

Umpire was wrong - you can change sides but your leg and off side don't change for LBW and wides

Very clear divide, incumbent CA CEO has danced around it like so many

[chickenonachain]

Just looking at it again kohli goes to his teammates moves his shoulder as if to say Konstas shouldered me WOW

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Very clear divide, incumbent CA CEO has danced around it like so many

The CEO is frightened of pissing off the BCCI.
In reality they should be getting right under thier skin.

The CA CEO shouldn’t be offering a commentary on umpiring decisions.

 

[Black Diamond]

Very clear divide, incumbent CA CEO has danced around it like so many

Should consider instructing 4-5 of our players to do the same and see what happens.

Rachel Khawaja is gonna become a thing on cricket coverage forever isn't she? surely there's better options male or female than throwing jobs at wags.

This is right.

What are they going to do? Host/tour the West Indies instead of Australia?

It’s absolute rubbish - looks D Grade at best

 

[Black Diamond]

The Konstas analysis this morning, remember the premeditated charges he then missed? None of those in the highlights.

Ramps may have been executed well. A lot of nonsense otherwise.

60 from 65 balls. David Warner did the same regularly without doing anything near as silly.

Given the standard of cricket presenters I am not sure about that. Warner shows them up by doing some very basic preparation - and I am not a fan of Warner.

Except that Warner had a strike rate of about 70 over 140 odd FC matches.

If all the 1st year apprentices and all the 1st year uni students could swap for a year, we might have a chance to end the war.
