How is that different from usual?

Usually i didn't hear him cursing his own players so badly

What did he tell to his players ?

 

[Satan666]

We've heard a lot of nasty stuff from Kohli through the stump mic in this series

The Australians pioneered this type of behaviour for years, nothing new.

Kohli is agressive by nature.[DOUBLEPOST=1516201649][/DOUBLEPOST]

Sarfraz does that with his players also, does he not?

So what? What does that have anything to do with this?

Not sure about anyone else but I'm quite happy the way we played, we were close to winning both the games and overall it was a solid contest between the two. Don't think any other nation would've got as close. Period. It isn't only us who fail to perform overseas, pretty much every other team has been losing games outside home. It's strange things people say based on few matches we lose but the good thing is they don't represent 1.2 billion Indians, if our players perform well at home they're tagged a home bully while someone like Smith scores a hundred in Ashes(home conditions) - termed a legend(ABD is another example - current series). We lose one match and out of nowhere some people who barely have watched the series jump in trying to troll the team without having a look at their own team. I'm happy with the fact that at least I stand by team while being aware of the mistakes we did. Not up for any debate, just posting what I feel.

To make a comparison between international captains. You didnt answer the question either.

He also happens to have scored everywhere he has played

Only till I saw Kohli out did I entertain the thought of a SA win. To me India held the advantage for most of the test. Also the bowlers, Shami in particular did an exceptional job.[DOUBLEPOST=1516202914][/DOUBLEPOST]

So has Kohli, yet he aint!

I'm pretty sure you're referring to us (Pakistanis). I don't see any trolls in this thread. Seems like we can't comment on anything to do with India, just because we're from Pakistan (at least that's what i understood you to be saying).[DOUBLEPOST=1516203102][/DOUBLEPOST]

England?[DOUBLEPOST=1516203150][/DOUBLEPOST]Kohli will end up as a legend, no doubt, but currently Smith is definitely better in Tests

I mean - he'll get praised to get a century in Australia while if Kohli gets a double ton in India he's a home bully.

Not talking about this place and Pakistanis only mate, everywhere it's people trolling the Indian team(FB/Twitter). I've learnt to only read the posts not the comments and it somewhat helps. Anyway, I'm sorry for taking this thread away from it's topic. Please leave this one here.


I just hope we can at least draw the next match if not win it and they get Rahane in it. And maybe try Umesh Yadav.

This is rubbish responses from the captain! Sample this

Q: "You spoke about it not coming together well - has that maybe been because of the chopping and changing of selection? In over 30 Tests that you have been captain, you have changed your starting line-up in each and every Test you have played? To win Test matches you need consistency, and you have been lacking that part. What would you put that down to, and how would you say that you will continue changing your team and still expect different results?"
Kohli: "How many Test matches have we won out of 34?"

Q: "In how many have you changed the XI?"

Kohli: "How many have we won? How many have we won? 21 wins. Two losses. How many draws?" [In fact, Kohli has won 20 as captain and lost five, out of 34 he had led in]

Q: "How many in India?"

Kohli: "Does it matter? Wherever we play we try to do our best. I'm here to answer your questions, not to fight with you."

Q: "There is talk of India doing well in India but not overseas. Do you still believe you're the best side in the world?"
Kohli: "Look, we have to believe that we are the best side. Even when we came here, if you don't have the belief that you can win the series here, there is no point coming here. We have not come here just to participate. And answering your question, sir, how many times did South Africa come into the game in India? Coming close to winning games in India? Can you count?"

Does wins in India matter as much as the ones overseas? This was the same guy who was talking big about how the team is now ready to tackle overseas challenges. Now that the series has gone from his hand and a crushing defeat has been inflicted, he has conveniently made "wins in India" as the hallmark for being the best side.

1.2 billion Indians

Random thought : Imagine South Africa having a population that large (currently just over an estimated 57 million) , boy would we have a fun selecting a starting XI or even Australia (population estimated just over 24 million)

You’d call those two losses a ‘crushing defeat’? Really!

Matches were pretty close as far as I am concerned and the results indicate that!
