Cricket Australia really needed Kohli this summer

I don't think anyone being typical as nearly as troubled as typical indian.That is the problem.

So much garbage in one post I'm really confused where to even begin. "How come not so high standards produce “great” outputs?" What do you mean by "great" outputs?Obviously,Some players will be better than others. "The comment was response to childish comment “why Kohli is not in the same league as Viv,Tendulkar and Lara.Kohli will not even make it into the list of modern era greats to be comparable with previous gen greats.." See that's the problem right there.You live in your own bubble.According to you those claims might be childish but it doesn't mean rest of the world doesn't rate Kohli highly. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/407120-michael-vaughan-thinks-virat-kohli-is-a-better-player-than-tendulkar-lara-and-ponting https://twitter.com/KP24/status/1074284658140086272 "Please mention the parameters you are comparing them on,so we can understand your grand strategy of that comparison." Here's what I think - In early 1900s cricket was played between low skilled cricketers (if we judge them by modern standard)where bowling was mediocre,fielding was abysmal and batting was mediocre as well.How do I come to this conclusion-simply watch the videos of cricket played those days.Just like you can conclude that international cricket standard/quality is better than domestic cricket standard.It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. "it was not only about uncovered pitches, throw lack of 24/7 medical facilities, protective gears, fitness instruments in that, play like that and let us know your experience. " Genius this is one of the many reason why standard of cricket was low those days.You are actually proving my point but you are not smart enough to realise it. "next time make sure the points have some substances instance.Otherwise it sounds like arrogant child’s screaming." Talk about irony. Anyway I've wasted enough of my time and it is going to be my last post in this topic.

And you are trying to be typical bangladeshi.See what I did there.

Bring back Warner.

It's of no use. Our good buddy savage aka prannoy is trying to be typical indian.

"Again,Cricketing Standard was not high in early 1900s.Which part of this is difficult to understand." Having difficulty to read? Or pretending not to understand what is being said? "Yes they were greats.Just because standard of cricket wasn’t high at that time doesn’t mean that you can’t call top players of that era as greats" Is that supposed to be some kinda jokes? How come "Standards weren't high" but "doesn’t mean that you can’t call top players of that era as greats"?!! How come not so high standards produce "great" outputs? You have just built that system? "Says the guy who has no problem in saying or insinuating that kohli is nowhere near Viv,Sachin and Lara." OMFG, am i missing something here? I said one can't compare 2 section of time because the output of that time is relative to the resource available at that time.And the comment was example,what's problem there? The comment was response to childish comment "why Kohli is not in the same league as Viv,Tendulkar and Lara.(I’m not going to bring amateur era cricketers in discussion)" "No it didn’t changed or perhaps you misunderstood here.Knowingly or unknowingly" Dramatic comment. The comment stated above "I’m not going to bring amateur era cricketers in discussion" is in same league with "I’m not going to bring amateur era of how to make fire in discussion of evolvement of science" Ridiculous!! The question that was asked,was about how your grand IQ equalized those 2 different section of times & tagged the previous section as amateurish!! I didn't compare kohli with viv,tendulkar because the parameters don't match. Kohli will not even make it into the list of modern era greats to be comparable with previous gen greats. "modern players are advanced is one of the reason why Standard of cricket is high nowadays as compared to players of early 1900s" Please mention the parameters you are comparing them on,so we can understand your grand strategy of that comparison. "however bringing “uncovered pitches” was a nice attempt but predictable." Yet predictably your IQ failed to grasp, it was not only about uncovered pitches, throw lack of 24/7 medical facilities, protective gears, fitness instruments in that, play like that and let us know your experience. If you ever wish to try let me know, i will be more than happy to be the guy with the ball in other side. To argue one needs to understand the basic logic & parameters of arguments which i see,to have severe lacking here except some amateurish claim. TBH even i can make a claim saying Tendulkar isn't even half of great Kallis is because kallis has better average than tendulkar in batting & tendulkar is simply blown to oblivion when compared to kallis in bowling. Nice try putting bold font to make points, next time make sure the points have some substances instance.Otherwise it sounds like arrogant child's screaming.

Spot on, he was all about winning. He was as disliked by most of his teammates as Kohli is. By the way the Australian media is the one having consistency problems. Hypoventilating about Australian sledging, telling us Kohli is showing intent and salivating over the new on field open Mic policy.

Cricketers carry sandpaper on their kit bags to help scrub the glue off their bat handles when they change grips. They didn’t sneak out to the hardware store before the game.

He’s not even the best current batsman; Steve Smith is just as good as him.

"Either stand by your “facts” or stand with your outputs." Again,Cricketing Standard was not high in early 1900s.Which part of this is difficult to understand. "You can’t have both at same time." Yes they were greats.Just because standard of cricket wasn't high at that time doesn't mean that you can't call top players of that era as greats.Those players raise the standard of the game high only for the next generation of cricketers to raise the bar even higher.Now Next generation of cricketers will look up to the likes Kohli,Smith,devilliers etc not the likes of Hobbs etc whether anyone likes it or not. "You can’t compare two sections of time. The output of those two sections of time is defined by elements that is present AT TIME." Says the guy who has no problem in saying or insinuating that kohli is nowhere near Viv,Sachin and Lara. "Real funny how topic got changed." No it didn't changed or perhaps you misunderstood here.Knowingly or unknowingly,You are giving reasons on why the standard wasn't high which again I'm not interested in.(as I am well aware)Yes modern players are advanced is one of the reason why Standard of cricket is high nowadays as compared to players of early 1900s.You still haven't given me a single reason on why Standard of cricket wasn't low in early 1900s however bringing "uncovered pitches" was a nice attempt but predictable.So there is nothing to argue here.

Okay, Steve Waugh had no moral and ethics because he used the same tactics. As long as you're consistent.

I think Paine was true to type. He said a few months ago when all the moralising was going on that he didn't condone personal sledging, but wouldn't back down if targeted. He and Langer have been consistent on banter being part of the game and his comment is the epitome of banter. Kohli's ego is way too healthy to care what Paine says. Paine's only regret may be that every accredited microphone carrier will try for the ultimate windup over the next few months, sadly way passed the comments use by date, if the media is true to type as well.

Kohli’s ball tampering was as pre-meditated as his plan to mentally disintegrate opposition captains, by sledging them.

Smith's side pales in comparison with South Africa. Faf is a two time convicted ball tamperer and was promoted to captain after the first. Rabada has the worst discipline record of all current international players with more fines and bans than all the current Aussies put together. de Kock carries personal verbal sledging into the changeroom.

Come on Hugh, you've seen the media moralising in the last 9 months, surely? If the recrimination squad now rules, then Kohli's behaviour needs addressing. You can't go with a stance that he's allowed, because Australia did it for years. It's either Warner can continue with his whiteline fever because Kohli's equivalent behaviour is good for cricket, or both of them are out of line. Nothing excuses a fielder deliberately moving into a batsmans line, like Kohli did yesterday and we all know Warner would've been flayed by the media, umpire and referee if he'd done that. We've seen Rabada sanctioned for send offs, but Kohli in full glare of Kohlicam gives Paine a sendoff and nothing. I'm happy for personality in cricket, but the double standards are ridiculous.

Easy Paul, Warner rolls with every punch on field, but I reckon if your wife was used as a weapon against you and at the same time she has a miscarriage, you would be in a pretty poor mental place. NOTHING condone's ball tampering and the 100 backroom cuddle squad should have stepped in with Warner before it got to that on field.

You're out of your league savage. Go read some cricket history and then add some reason to your posts.

Define amateur era. You do know that in Bradman's era and earlier players were paid, don't you?

Nice bit of baiting anon, I had to bite. Everyone knows Kohli has no cricketing morals. He is on record as saying his game plan as Captain devised with Shastri is to mentally disintegrate the opposition, starting with Captain and he showed that yesterday when Paine was ruining his plan of routing Australia. He also is on camera ball tampering in 2016. I can't believe, if you have played or umpired cricket, that you would call a fielder moral and ethical for deliberately moving into the batsman's line while he's running. It's the act of a child who has never been disciplined and slyly laughs when getting away with it. I don't know how you defend the morality of a player when he then tries to get the umpire to sanction the batsman. No, morality and ethics will never be in Kohli's game plan.

Easy mate, his talent is transient, Bradman's is well tested. In fact he isn't even the best batsman that India produced.
