I get that emotions were boiling over, but that behaviour is never acceptable. Kohli should lead by example. Ganguly won't have been impressed by that either

Looked like a freak show with multiple players talking to themselves, stumps, mics and cameras. 
I have noticed this trend. Every time Indians accuse Pakistanis to be conspiracy theorists about an issue, it usually isn't long before they themselves indulge in conspiracy theories on a different but similar issue where the supposed victim of the conspiracy is India.

Lol These Indian clowns forgot that India had diplomatic relations with South Africa as well and statements like "Its 11 against a whole country" can have serious implications.
SO if broadcaster is approved by ICC than they are trusted but same broadcasted appointed by board than its not trusted?
WHat does umpire have to do with anything? You are saying umpire has the knowledge to tweak hawk eye?
This guy is going way off the conspiracy theories

ICC is a neutral body. Home board home broadcaster isnt.
Other players have in past raised questions over SS.
Neutral officials are that, neutral.

Supersport has no control over hawkeye so all the crying, accusations and jumping up n down by the indian players isnt justified

The teenager really thought that behaving like this will give his team 3 wickets. That's the level of his captaincy.

I don't know if people are deliberately ignoring it, but Kohli's words on SA shining the ball might run deeper. This is not just about one DRS decision. That was the tipping point.
There was also one more thing that I noticed yesterday. When the Indians were chatting loudly, the mics were turned up, way way up. It was so high, you could hear the breeze. This wasn't the case when SA were in the field. You'd see the fielders' lips moving from a distance, but couldn't hear a thing.
This point struck me when Bavuma was batting and Kohli said, Big man already eh? Had a lot to say while I was batting, why so quiet now....

Typical behaviour by the indian team and fans when things dont go their way. Kohli and Ashwin are senior players should learn to behave better and find excuses. Supersport does not control hawkeye haha. Kohli is turning out to be a big baby. I feel the end is near for him.

Apparently CSA is set to earn $45 million from this tour. The power of the BCCI. No way will CSA risk hurting the golden goose

So who places the cameras and generates the feeds and provides it to the hawk eye technicians?
Does Hawkeye does its own production and generation of feeds?

He has more test wins in SENA than any other Asian captain.
Are you saying someone moved the camera just before the lbw

So has the SA government made a statement? Are they deporting the Indian team?
Has the Indian Ambassador been summoned?

Virat Kohli letting it rip on the stump mic following the DRS episode that gave Dean Elgar a lifeline continues to receive a plethora of reactions. While Michael Vaughan said Kohli needs to be fined or suspended for his outburst, former South Africa batsman Daryll Cullinan feels that the India captain has been getting away for his actions for far too long and wants him 'severely punished'.
Reactions continue to pour in from across the globe, most notably Down Under, where two of Australia's greatest former cricketers and legends Shane Warner and Adam Gilchrist have given their take in the matter. Former Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Gilchrist weighed in on the episode, saying that the Indian skipper's frustration was 'brewing' until it reached a point of no return.
"That accusation there I am interested in Warnie; this seems a bit premeditated. This has been building or brewing and it has got to a breaking point. That accusation about filming teams shining the ball I am assuming it goes all the way back to that very ground when the Australians were caught out on camera," said Gilchrist.
Warne admitted that the delivery looked like hitting the stumps saying 'that is going on to smash half way up middle though, there is no way that's going over'. The former leg-spinner , especially given the fact that he is the 'captain of an international team', and followed it up by pointing out the frustration element which increased with time.
"Look it is an interesting one, I am not sure that should be happening from a captain of an international team. But sometimes frustration overflows, you just get so frustrated and that’s why I said I wonder if that has happened three or four times through the series, and that was like okay that is enough now we can’t have it anymore," said Warne.

Hawkeye generates the graphics on the basis of the feeds provided by 6 cameras. If the original placement isnt correct, the results may not be correct.
Also despite various tries Hawk eye still needs manual intervention to determine the point of impact, it has been reduced but it still needs some intervention.
Guess who said this?
On a number of grounds... this isn’t complaining but to put in context... if you want 100% accuracy, then ICC would say 'the cameras go where the Hawk-Eye and Virtual Eye tell you they must go'. A lot of times you can’t put them there. They won’t let you put them there, they lock someone’s view out there or there's a corporate box or there's a sponsor's box. We had a problem I think in 2019. In one of the grounds, the camera position was in the wrong place, we asked to move it and couldn’t move. That’s one of the first instances we had where we lost the tracking right at the start. We met with everybody and talked about it and the camera was moved to the correct place and it’s been fine ever since. It’s really important that cameras are in the right place.

So Hawkeye doesn't generate the feeds or places the camera. Good that you agreed.
That's not the point. The point is you are using that premise to reach a conclusion that doesn't follow from that premise.
Even if we go by your theory....
The cameras were placed at same location for both teams....or did SuperSports magically move the cameras for Indian bowlers only
Ss has no control over hawk eye and is occ approved technology.
Atleast be consisstent with your conspiracy theories.
So this guy still says pakistans were wrong and indians are right.
I will be absolutely honest here.
India got a bad DRS decision with Elgar. He was obviously LBW, and DRS was incorrectly programmed and over-estimated the bounce.
You would have to be a spoilt brat and an inadequate loser to think that this was a conspiracy or even deliberate.
It's just like how we all knew even in 2016 that if/when Donald Trump lost an election he would convince himself that he had been robbed and come up with pathetic lies to justify that narrative because he couldn't accept that more people preferred the other candidate.
When Trump lost, he was so wounded by his loss that he had to drone on and on with his pathetic self-delusions about the imaginary election fraud that he actually dissuaded his own side's voters from voting in the two Georgia Senate run-off elections, which made his party lose the Senate.
Similarly, as soon as Kohli and Ashwin started ranting like lunatics at the microphones it was obvious that India had lost their focus on performing and had moved forward to the "getting your excuses in early" stage.
Every South African player, just like me, could see at 61-1 that India had given up on trying to win and were just trying to create excuses.
It was funny, but pathetic at the same time.
I think that Virat Kohli was seriously damaged as a human being, a cricketer and a leader by being part of the pathetic Indian rabble which toured the Caribbean in 2011 and which disgraced its nation with its bullying behaviour towards umpire Daryl Harper.
That team never faced justice for its disgraceful conduct, and Kohli seems to have concluded that that sort of spoilt brat behaviour has a place in cricket. And yesterday it made his team lose a Test series against the weakest South African team for 6 decades.

This is the damage that VK & Co outburst caused:
==
Cape Town: South African skipper Dean Elgar said the DRS controversy offered them a “window” to have a go at the target with the Virat Kohli-led Indian team getting distracted by their on-field chatter during the series-deciding third Test.
The left-handed opener’s LBW decision by umpire Marais Erasmus was overturned after HawkEye showed the ball trajectory going over the stumps.
It led to tempers fraying in the Indian camp with skipper Kohli along with his deputy KL Rahul and senior offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin mocking the South African broadcasters ‘SuperSport” on stump microphone.
Chasing 212 in tough Newlands conditions, South Africa were 60 for one in the 21st over when Elgar got the reprieve but with the Indian camp busy with the DRS controversy the hosts went on to score 40 runs in the next eight overs.
“That obviously gave us a little bit of a window period, especially yesterday (Thursday) for us to score a little bit freer and obviously, chip away at the deficit that we needed or the target that we needed,” Elgar said after their series-clinching seven-wicket win here on Friday.
“It worked out well in our hands, it played nicely into our hands. For a period of time, they actually forgot about the game and they were challenging a bit more of the emotional side of what Test cricket has to offer.”
Asked about the controversy, Elgar said: “Loved it. It was obviously maybe a team that was under a little bit of pressure and things weren’t going the way which they obviously were quite used to of late.
“Yeah we’re extremely happy. We still had to execute our skills with the bat (on day three and four) knowing that the wicket was playing a bit in the bowlers’ favour and we needed to be extra disciplined out there and execute our basics.”
Guys woke up after 113-run defeat, and responded in style

Rumours from the hotel staff in South Africa are that they observed Kohli shouting into his TV because he was unhappy with the movie that was playing.

Kohli standing up to years of cheat by third umpires and unpire, he is brave enough. He is the next candidate to be Indian's Prime minister. Nothing wrong in speaking his mind instead of keeping everything inside. Respect to Kohli, true leader. Not a wimp like Sachin

Quite an enjoyable series this!!
1. India lose to an average saffers side.
2. Their bowlers show their true colours - took 5 wickets in 2 final innings in wearing pitches that offered huge assistance to the bowlers.
3. Watching the home track bully Ashwin lose his rag on here forgetting his magnificent 3 wickets in 3 tests at an average of 60
4. Listening to Kohli telling a piece of wood off and crying like a baby followed by Pant and others was nice!

It's not really a matter of decency. Kohli lost his cool and lost the series.
If you go back to the 1980's, in the 1982 and 1987 series in England the Pakistanis faced some poor, poor umpiring.
In 1982 it got to them, and they lost the decisive Headingley Test by 3 wickets.
I am no fan of Imran Khan the politician, but Imran Khan differed from Javed Miandad and Zaheer Abbas by refusing to let a siege mentality develop and by insisting that the players focus on winning.
Imran regained the captaincy after the World Championship of Cricket in Melbourne in 1985.
He had been recovering from his shin splints by playing for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield while Zaheer Abbas led the Test team in New Zealand, where comically bad umpiring in the Third Test - in which 17 year old Wasim Akram took 10 wickets - turned a 1-1 series draw into an outrageous 2-0 defeat.
Javed Miandad then led the team to defeat to India in the Final of the World Championship of Cricket, and again the team collapsed and whinged in equal doses.
Imran Khan then regained the captaincy, only for more biased umpiring to allow Sri Lanka to draw a home series against Pakistan.
At which point he made it clear to his team that on the pitch their job was to concentrate and focus on the game and to cut out the moaning and the excuses about the umpiring.
Kohli lost his self-control on the fourth evening at Cape Town, and the team followed his example in losing their self-control.
They didn't teach anybody any lessons, they just lost a match and a series which was theirs to win against a weak team.
If Kohli can't control his toddler tantrums then he shouldn't be the captain.

This Jimmy Neesham tweet basically tears any defence Indians fans are giving (in to pieces) for Kohli and Co. acting worse than a 2 year old, in diapers lol
"6 foot 4 spinner bowls a flighted delivery that hits a batsman on the knee roll with a big stride, on one of the bounciest pitches in the world. Ball goes over the stumps."

Smart move by Kohli to walk away now - emphasis off his antics now and the loss to SA.
