Nice to see not all the Indian Media are buying into Kohli.

SHOULD Virat Kohli fail to produce evidence to back up his claims that Australia is guilty of systemic cheating, he should be sacked as captain and banned for as long as the rules allow.

That’s the explosive opinion of one Indian journalist who has come down hard on Kohli’s incredible press conference after the controversial second-Test victory in Bengaluru.

“If there is no conclusive evidence of the sort of behaviour that was caught on camera when Smith was mulling a review after his dismissal, the match referee should impose the severest possible punishment on Kohli,” wrote Mukul Kesavan for NDTV.

“He should be banned for the maximum number of games that the rulebook allows.

“A captain who shoots his mouth off at a press conference is bad enough; one who accuses a rival captain of systematic dishonesty without the evidence to back it up should be tarred and feathered.

“The BCCI, instead of trolling the Australians -- the official BCCI Twitter account tweeted “DRS - Dressing room review system?”-- should sack Kohli and reduce him to the ranks.”

There is no way Kholi will be able to back it up, but that doesn't matter he has got his message out. The Australians are now the the villains and not even facts will change that perception.

He is treated like a god over there and now he is carrying on like he is one.

The comments on the Indian article are an abomination - I've never seen such blind jingoism, even in some of the coolaid drinkers on the *Essendon board.

Ah. That sounds better.
Kawhaja please. Maxwell's bowling is okay in the shorter game but he'll be next to useless in the long form. His batting is also not there yet. Bat Usman and number 3 and move everyone down one. Smith will then dominate at number 4.

Donald Trump should acknowledge there's a new king when it comes to just making shit up in public.

I'd probably consider applying for a UK/Australian/NZ/wherever visa Mukul. Unless you enjoy living in a burning house.

I like Mitch as a cricketer (and as I've often stated, have little time for his brother), but IMO he's a bowling all-rounder and suited to the role of 3rd or 4th pace bowler. On that basis, he should never be picked in a team that plays two spinners. Sort of rules him out for tours of the sub-continent.

When he's picked to do a lot of bowling, I think it works because (1) he is a good bowler and takes wickets, and (2) it takes pressure off his batting and that might just make him a more regular contributor with the bat.

Shaun shouldn't have exposed him to the last over before tea in the 1st innings, btw. Another stupid piece of cricket from a (talented) player who has played stupid cricket for a lot of his career.
