Kohli stunner: Indian set to dodge suspension for Konstas bump​

Virat Kohli is poised to escape suspension for his bump on Australian debutant Sam Konstas.

How the hell can a player "be poised to escape suspension"? The only dodging here is the dodgy officiating.

 

[Samsquanch]

I know its not a major issue what kohli did today but if an Aussie had done that to a first gamer I’d be dirty as

The worst thing about it was the faux stunned expression and the pretence that nothing happened when the umpire approached him.

At least own it if you dealt it Virat.

Put in different words; money is yet to change hands.

I saw your other reply and I'm waiting for official ruling before going postal.

I tend to shoot from the hip. The privilege of being an ancient campaigner.

I’d be expecting an apology

One demerit point and 20% fine.

VicPol/VicGovt endorsed?

Oh, and bailed.

 

[Nate7]

Oh, and bailed.

In Victoria, like the ACT, you can go equipped to kill someone and still get bail.

Isn’t it double demerits?

Stars bottling it again.

Personally I don't see it as that big an issue. If anything he paid him a complimentary and I'd be using it as fuel for next innings.

Probably a bit more annoyed to a guy making his debut more than anything, I’d be annoyed if Konstas had said something previously to him but the optics on it makes Kohli looks terrible

Not here in Victoria Kraks.

I reckon I could get a job as a bowler for the stars.

Nah if anything it makes Kohli look like a bad sport and if i was Sam I'd be loving that I've pissed a really good 36 year old player off

You could hear the collective groans/disappointment from Head's 0 from those at the bar we were at today.

But the good thing about day 1 was that he wasn't needed to carry the team. The top order finally contributed on the scoreboard.

Konstas debut looked like the bigger brother bullying the little brother in a game of backyard cricket.

Switch hitting his own bowling?

Can't you see that this "compliment" was done in a totally unacceptable, shitty way?

Classic BCCI interference.
