The ICC punishment for the offence that was committed by us is 1 match. There is absolutely no doubt that a 1 year ban is over kill.
1 match is also ridicules but they could have made a statement with a strong ban without going over the top.

Awkward watching Chopra trying to have personal roasting type banter when everyone is being too polite to point out he opened for 10 tests and scored two 50's.

You would've thought Ch7 could have got a better Indian commentator than Chopra but I guess he'd be cheaper than a Ganguly or Dravid.

Loved Langer's comment when asked about Kohli. "If our guys did it, we'd be the worst people in the world".
Don’t mind Langer,not afraid of saying it how it is.

Indian’s mental intimidation of our batsmen has worked,Handscomb fell for it,Indians went ott troppo on a non decision which left Handscomb thinking about it and not fully focussing on the next ball.

It’s a sneaky tactic ,one which would label us villians all around the World if we tried it.

Hope we bat better from here. There's bad shots you can get out too but 3 of our wicket took the cake of absolute stupidity. India bad shots were at least set up, cramp them then throw the wide one knowing that's how they play, but Finch, Marsh and Handscomb's wickets, well, F me. We should've been about 4 or 5 for about 230.

On the positive the WBBL is on this afternoon too
On this note, it's amazing how much better to watch the WBBL is when you compare it to the women's AFL. Shows the difference between bringing coverage to a sport with a lengthy history and healthy competitions running at a fairly high standard and bringing it to the zygote of a sport in my opinion.
