I didn't watch it, but is Usman over Kohli just a case of not wanting to give player of the match to the losing team?

Man of the match usually always goes to someone from the winning team, because their contribution led to a win so it’s considered more valuable.

You’d have to be head and shoulders above the rest to win a MOTM on the losing team.

I missed it. Saw us 1/201 or something and witnessed a chunk of the capitulation but didn't see us bowl. That's after watching most of the previous game which was definitely ours to lose. Was this wicket particularly good to bat on or some guys genuinely finding form?

Finch actually looked good in the previous game before getting bogged down against spin and getting out. That set the tone for the others I felt.

I watched Creed II for the first time last night. Good quality movie with lots of nostalgia factor with Drago but nowhere near the level of the first. Missing Coogler magic.

Watched Kohli’s innings. He was absolutely on another level compared to the rest of his team but didn’t see the Aus innings.

Kohli batting in ODIs is a thing of absolute beauty

Kohli's innings > Khawaja's innings.

I'd have given it to Maxwell over Khawaja tbh. Fielding is under-appreciated in MotM determinations.

Kohli. Greatest ever ODI batsman??

His average when ODI captain is 83. Unbelievable.

Closing in on de Villiers, for sure.

We smashed the Purples. Again. We're going back 2 back.

A Birmingham fan has run out on the pitch during a soccer match in their local derby game against Aston Villa and punched one of their players in the head

So proud of himself too when he was getting hauled away. Disgraceful - has to be jail time.

Should be a punishment for Birmingham too you would think, next home game behind locked doors should be in order

Yeah they’ll get drawn into it, life ban for him and behind closed doors for their next home game you’d say.

Having watched Garry Monk pressers for a year with Leeds, his take on this is sure to be interesting. Probably the most boring man alive, but he’d need to come out swinging against this.

The EFL, easily the most incompetent governing body in football (which says something) have acted quickly, putting out an official statement in which they condoned the attack, not condemned it.

And Grealish just scored [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Surely the EFL aren't more incompetent than the AFL?!

How much time do you have?

This is a governing body that once carried out a cup draw incorrectly, and then when this was pointed out to them with screenshots of their own rules, updated their rules page on the website and claimed they’d never made the mistake.

Rioli and Sheed BOG, scrappy first half dominant second, Allen/Petch firming for round 1, Freo suck a little less but still a bit.

Oscar Allen, number one draft pick according to Brad Johnson.

Where the hell were the security guards? I see one running after him and three sitting there watching. Only one guard trying to get him off the field afterwards too.

No idea. One of the security guards was also removed by police for being too violent with Grealish when he scored and jumped into the away end.

Admittedly you shouldn’t go into the crowd, even if it’s your fans, but get stuffed the bloke got punched and just scored the winner, crowd surf for an hour if you like. Shambles of an event, next game will be behind closed doors.

Turner the only groper to have done ok this game.
