3 Sixes possibly from Kohli to bring up his 100 anyone?

 

[NYRB]

lol Kohli refuses the single, to potentially get his 100.

 

[NYRB]

Dont think any team in world cricket would do this. Team India is not only about getting the team win, but its definitely about individual records as well.

 

[NYRB]

Bangladesh playing party pooper by bowling an extra!

 

[NYRB]

if i were Bangladesh Id do an Andrew Tye and bowl 2 wides for fun

 

[NYRB]

How was that not a wide?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Another team that wins the toss against India and bats first…

Great plan

 

[NYRB]

I agree with Peter on this one:

 

[NYRB]

That Kohli century, im trying to equate it to other sports. The closest I could come to was when Fevola came close to a ton and Carlton had a whinge after the Hawks ganged up on him. Or maybe a better comparison is like basketball, when your up by 30+ points, and you go for a basket with the last play of the game already up.

Its almost taking the mickey and showing Bangladesh disrespect at the same time.

Kohli was mid 70s at the time, then he started turning down singles. It also cost India a bit of net run rate in the end. Would be funny if karma came around and that NRR proved to be a difference at some point.

Used to be used as a sixth bowler in his early years in the side

He bowled in the 2011 World Cup final. The ODI bowling average of 167 probably suggests why he doesn't anymore

Lokesh Rahul finished on 97* in one of the earlier games I think. Pandya had about 14* off 14. Did Pandya steal a century off him and would Rahul even give a s**t?

Pujara and Hayden on cricinfo.com called Kohli selfish for going for his hundred.

From that game, and watching that game, Rahul went for the 4, rather than the 6 to finish the game. But hit the ball too well. He was also aiming for his 100

And he looked absolutely devastated to hit the winning runs for his team.

 

[PhatBoy]

Why is it that we just ignore the fact that Bumrah is a bigger chucker than Murali.

Everyone is scared of the BCCI

Probably because his not, and not even close to having an illegal action.

That would be my primary suspicion as to why he doesn’t get investigated more.

King Kohli Great to celebrate the milestone in a comfortable win.
