[REPORT] Virat Kohli 'struck' Australian official with a bottle

[WhenSultansBowled]

This "report" is a joke.

Media wars. Good news is next game will be spicy

 

[Smbhayi]

So what, I remember other players trying that move out. This is basically their Faf moment of the current series, you remember how they hounded the SA for "ball tampering" even though some Australians admitted they use sweets themselves.

Don't you think it'd be a news on same day rather than two days later if he does that?

This is news because of the DRS controversy, *** for tat essentially, though Indian tabloids would also do the same if given a chance.

 

[Junaids]

Which Australian bowler gets reverse swing by doctoring the ball?.

I don't want to get moderated by answering quite that question.

But I was at the Wellington Test last year. Australia knocked over NZ quickly on a Day 1 greentop which then browned over and became a batsman's paradise. And then Mitchell Marsh started to get outrageous amounts of reverse swing.

Marsh and Yadav in particular have made me laugh out loud with the amount of reverse that I have seen them obtain in the last 16 months. I know where that comes from.

Sure if that makes you happy.

Did not watch the match. Interesting to see what happend! Seems like lots happening between the Indians and Aussies!

 

[Tusker]

Did you read my post?

Pakistan used to do it and it disgusted me. But in recent years, they don't doctor the ball or bowl reverse to anything like the extent of those four countries. When did they last get much reverse swing? Wahab can, but he hardly ever does.

This is the 1st time Iam hearing someone accuse India of ball tampering to get reverse swing .... With cameras watching all action like hawk it would have been caught by now if that was happening.

Try asking the South African tourists of 18 months ago or the recent English ones.

Although they said very little, because they aren't exactly angels themselves.

 

[Pure Evil]

People here should stop entertaining Junaids. The only way he will probably support India is when we switch our name to start with 'Islamic republic of'. Beyond that no Indian player is good and no victory commendable

Well both teams would be more worried of Ashwin + Jadeja ... Not one single Indian fast bowler took a 5fer or did anything spectacular.

Virat Kohli scores vs AUS at home thus far in the series: 0 , 13 , 12 , 15

Virat notoriously is magnificent at home, now that the runs have slightly dried up he has lost the plot

We need him back at his FTB/HTB best to restore order

 

[silentkiller187]

Which Australian bowler gets reverse swing by doctoring the ball?.

Reverse swing only occurs when the ball has been doctored, whether it is done intentionally or not is another question all together

If it is unintentional then its not doctoring.

Hope the bottle was not empty when it was struck. It is holi time. )

If he can hit 4 test centuries in last series in australia...then he certainly can score against them at home....but i think virat scores everywhere and everytime and in every format so let the other batsman score also....and virat can have some little out of form time as well..

You have got no idea on how reverse swing works then.

It does require some tampering and if you think India have never Indulged in it you are living in cloud cukoo land
.
I would say confidently every major team has been involved with some degree of tampering once they found out how to do it. I know how it works, it's all about doing it subtly and not blatantly. And even then you need right dry conditions and the right bowlers to exploit it.

It's just Pakistan we're easy targets during the 80s and 90s because they were the team that introduced it and used it effectively because they had the pace and knowledgeable bowlers to exploit it when others didn't.

 

[silentkiller187]

If a ball keeps getting smacked into the stands and keeps landing on a rough concrete floor lets say then the condition of the ball will be doctored/altered? This will encourage reverse swing just as much as someone "scratching" the ball with their nails. One is done intentionally, one maybe not so intentional but results will probably be the same.

 

[Bengaluru]

The Herald Sun and The Daily Telegraph are both owned by the same News Corp Murdoch tabloid mob. I didn't even read the article but I suspect it was written by Ben Horne. That guy is known for making things up and this is nowhere near some of the rancid stuff he has come out with in the past during the Ashes series. This type of journalism (using the word lightly) is for the barely literate tabloid readers so best to not infer anything out of this. I am from Bangalore and I have played in the Chinnaswamy and I can categorically say that changing rooms of both teams are away from each other (after climbing up, turn left from the corridor for the home team and turn right for the away team) so I can't see how a Gatorade bottle smashed inside the Indian changing room, bounced off a telly, crossed the corridor and hit an Aussie official? Fake news guys!

I will play along and pretend that it did happen ... so can you post the scorecard of the match where this was done ?

 

[Chrish]

Has this been verified yet? Or another rumor?

 

[cricketjoshila]

And made the BCCI backdown.

Rather requested them to let go.

 

[Hasan123]

The next test is going to be spicy. . Glad I have the weekend off from work

 

[Napa]

An empty water bottle that bounces off a fridge and strikes an Aussie official on his leg. No less that attempted murder deserving penal transportation for life, but of course thanks to BCCI's malevolent influence Kohli will not be charged and will continue on his evil ways.

I was arguing about semantics of 'doctoring' not about reverse swing. Anyway I do get what you want to say.
