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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
