India tour of South Africa

[Satan666]

Where were you when Rabada did it ? Rabada did it, and he got it back.

Not saying it's right but both Kohli and Rabada are like same kind of players.

I feel some of you guys have been over critical about this.

Why mention Rabada’s actions then go on to say its not right?

Who are you fooling?

Some of the over critical posts here has made me difficult to come back to this thread and read. Might as well give up on this.

We won the series and we did something which previous Indian team did not achieve. Every team has weakness and it's series like these that will give a good read on players.

Not being critical about the cricket we have played mate. Just the attitude is repulsive.

Also, while winning in SA is commendable this was an expected result.

The behavior adopted by the captain and his behavioral influence on the team overall, has actually made it very difficult for me to open heartedly applaud/compliment this Indian team and their overseas ODI bilateral series win. I don't care if I am agreed with by a majority, but I rarely enjoy a Kohli victory even when he does things with his bat. His behavior is definitely getting beyond unbearable.

Couldnt agree more. Very very disgusting stuff from the Indian captain!

What are you talking about ?

I really hope we use this last ODI to sort out our 4, 5, 6 and 7 issues.

Youre equating Kohli’s actions with Rabada’s to make it appear that its okay for Kohli to behave that way. Then cheekily insert a disclaimer in your post.[DOUBLEPOST=1518548140][/DOUBLEPOST]Congrats to the Indian team they clearly were the better team in all departments.

Historic ODI triumph for the Indian team.

Two things-

We are one of the best LOI sides. Best bowling attack in the world and the best batsman in the world. Heck, I think we have the best top 3 with the bat.

Secondly, this SA side is not like one of the teams of yesteryear. Glaring weaknesses for everyone to see.

Most importantly, the wickets have been more 'Indian' than SA.

Let me make one thing clear- I am not undermining us as a side or Kohli as a batsman. As good as they come in any generation but by no means are we settled in the middle.

Ok, I will stop now before our staff member zwarrior quits this thread for good.

As kushal said, hope the middle order problems are worked upon next game. Hoping to see Pandey in the XI.

I never said it was okay for Kohli do it. All I said was Kohli is getting a lot of heat and Rabada isn't which is not fair. Many people were not happy when Rabada got it so I said he did it and hence he got it back.

I said "Not saying it's right but both Kohli and Rabada are like same kind of players" and I meant that both Kohli and Rabada are same kind of players. They give words and they take back.
There is nothing cheeky or disclaimer about my post. It was a simple post.

Sorry man. But I am no one to stop you. I might be wrong here but I feel so irritated when whole page is filled with those kind of posts instead of actual cricket. That is just my personal feeling. Please continue what you have to say.

Yes. But no one is settled. Everyone have one or the other weakness. Aus has middle order problem. England has spin bowling problem. SA we have seen them. NZ has middle order problem. No one is settled. That's why we have these bilateral series to see which players fits where. We tried with Iyer and Rahane or this series.

@zwarrior

What do you think we should do with our middle order?[DOUBLEPOST=1518548613][/DOUBLEPOST]England are settled in all departments mate.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Give what back? And to whom? Amla and Markram? It's disgraceful to see India's captain behave like a 'paada ka chengda' representing us.

LOL! Let me clear here i am not defending Kohli here but was pretty much expecting this but why are you guys suprised as I said thats Kohli for you/us he has a habbit of doing that and has been doing for 7 - 8 years personally am pretty much used through to it ( I remember cursing him a lot in his early days saying to my friends " ye saala der shaana hai jab time kharab aayega toh pata chalega") He has been criticzed a lot for such things in the past be it former cricketers , media and even labelled as a spoiled brat by the OZ media.
