Agree totally Red!

For an experienced veteran ( and a bloke I'd previously considered a sportsman ) Kohl's exchange with a young first gamer was [censored] weak.

Note. the replays clearly show that Konstas was walking his own line and minding his own business when Kohli bumped into him

    How's Gavaskar suggesting that both of them will be reported!🤣

    Gavaskar has hated the Aussies ever since he was given out, cracked the sheeits and tried to get his team to get on the bus and go home to India straight away!🥸

    It wasn’t good and I’m sure the match referee will deal with the situation accordingly. But what sch!ttz me no end is the relentless talk about it. I’d rather the commentators didn’t mention it every five minutes. The match so far is highly entertaining, that should be enough to keep us viewing. There’s no need for the big song and dance production.

    PS to say India ruin cricket is just silly.

    Agree. There was also barely anything in the Head/Siraj altercation but the commentators made it sound as if they went into an actual fistfight.

    I think the media just wants this series to be as drama fulled as possible.

    And it’s a shame because it doesn’t need any drama at all. Maybe casual fans like the “spice” added by the media but I reckon true fans just wanna enjoy the actual game.

    The thing that annoyed me was Kohli’s reaction, after walking a pitch and a half width across, to get to Konstas.

    Konstas was clearly annoying Kohli, as we saw earlier a few times with his cavalier batting and Kohli’s reactions.

    However, after Kohli bumped him and kept walking, without instantly reacting, which you would do if contact was unexpected, Kohli tried to start something and then later was trying to blame Konstas for the bump, by showing a charge with his shoulder. This annoyed me the most.

    Great batsman that he is/was, he has always been arrogant and his picking on Nat Ioannides, a young, small,female sports journo at Tullamarine was pathetic. He excused the three men in her group ( cameramen probably) and loudly said it was all her fault that there were cameras at the airport, when his team arrived. Tony Jones called him a bully and that is probably on the money.

    I have never liked him, much preferring guys like Bumrah and Tendulkar who are modest champions.

    I see he got a slap on the wrist for the incident.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
