[VIDEO] "Virat Kohli is out of control… I don’t like his attitude at the moment" : Michael Hussey

Perth: Tensions flared-up towards the end of day three with none other than the two captains, Virat Kohli and Tim Paine, exchanging verbal volleys as the second Test between India and Australia headed for a nail-biting finish.

The hosts finished 175 runs ahead on day three, after Kohli’s 25th Test hundred got India to 283 runs. The Indian skipper was out caught at second slip, and while the catch was referred to the third umpire, it wasn’t overturned on account of soft signal.

It led to quite a talkative Kohli on the field during Australia’s second innings, which carried on until stumps, with both captains exchanging words.

“If he messes it up, it’s 2-0,”Kohli said, which was picked up by the microphone after he and his teammates made a loud caught-behind appeal for Paine in the final over of the day.

The Australian captain did not hold himself back and replied “You’ve got to bat first, big head”.

The hosts star-spinner Nathan Lyon, however, played down the incident. “I think Tim just asked him where he was going for dinner that’s all. I’ve played enough cricket against Virat to know what he’s like, and I’m not worried about what he’s doing or what India’s doing,” said Lyon.

“Virat is a great player, he plays on emotion, we all know that, and to be honest I’m not too concerned how Virat reacts or the way he conducts himself. I’m just worried about what we can control in the Australian dressing room and I thought as bowlers we came out today and performed pretty well,” he said.

Kohli was his usual animated self but his on-field antics did not go down well with former Australian players Michael Hussy and Allan Border.

“Kohli is out of control … I don’t like his attitude at the moment,” Hussey was quoted as saying by Macquarie Sports Radio, while former captain Border told Fox Cricket: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen any captain carry on like that.”

With India batting last on a tricky surface, chasing anything above 250 will be a big ask. Lyon said: “The wicket seems like it’s starting to play a few more little tricks. We were expecting the cracks to play a little bit more, but with that rain yesterday it probably softened our ball up quite a fair bit. I know as bowlers the ball in cricket terms felt like it had no air left in it, so it lost a little bit of zip off the wicket.

“But we were pretty happy with the way we bowled and we know that come the second dig we can bowl much better than that. So we can take a few lessons off that first innings,” he added.

Opener Aaron Finch had retired hurt after being hit on his finger by Mohammed Shami in the 13th over. Scans later cleared him of any serious damage on his right hand’s index finger.

Lying said Finch had been cleared, but was unsure if he would bat again in the second innings.

The spinner had taken 5-67 in the Indian innings, his seventh five-wicket haul against this opposition in Test cricket.

When asked if India had made a mistake in not playing a full-time spinner, Lyon replied, “yes!”

“I thought we were well off in the first innings of this game, so to bowl India out for 283 was a pretty good effort especially when you’ve got someone who scores a big hundred.

“So, it gives us a lot of confidence that we weren’t at our best and we were able to take 10 wickets for 280,” he added.

Aussies flapping it. They terrified of king kohli. Even ex cricketers are having nightmares.
 
What's an India - Australia series without all of this stuff coming to the fore?

Just sit back, grab a popcorn (try the one with caramel, it rocks) and watch the fun.
 
By the way, the world has grown so soft these days.

"If he messes up, it's 2-0 lads" by Kohli or Pant saying "C'mon Pat, you're not hitting sixes" is considered over the line these days?

Dennis Lillee and Javed Miandad almost ended up hurting each other with kicks and near blows with the bat exchanged. Michael Holding kicked down a set of stumps for having his appeal turned down by the umpire. Gavaskar threw a tantrum and left the field with his partner after he didn't agree with the lbw decision of the umpire. Colin Croft shoulder barged an umpire on his way to bowling. Mike Gatting and Shakoor Rana exchanged obscenities at each other in a disgraceful incident.

I can't imagine anybody in modern cricket doing these things.

Harden up, Hussey.

He didn't say that, he said something that rhymes with sick head :bhajji

Says someone who played a large part of his career under Ponting :14:
At least Kohli doesn't get physical and abusive towards match officials. Them imaginary lines these Aussies draw every now and then :))
 
He needs to calm the down.As much as he is a fantastic batsman he brings himself to the gully mohalla level with such nonsense.Its getting too embarassing for him.
I am sure a person like Kohli would take this light hearted comment of Paine so seriously that he would be looking into the mirror in dressing room and wondering if he really is a big head

Kohli has to realize he is representing Asia's 2nd greatest cricket nation abroad in the gentlemen's game in its purest format. He must act and behave like a Sir. His aggression is suited to horter time pass formats of cricket meant for entertainment purpose only like ODIs and T20s. In the whites however he must adhere to the code of ethics as has been followed for 100+ years rich history of the game.

So Kohli who said if Tim Paine messes up it would be 2-0 is gully moholla level but the abusive response from Paine is what Test level ?

I listened to the stump mic. Paine didn't say big head, it was worse.

Banter between captains is nonsense? Which world are you from? As long as there is no personal abuse or physical touches, such sledging has been part of the game for a long time. We’re get to hear these things now as broadcasters have started to keep the microphone on all the time.

And no, Kohli will not be worried one bit. On the field he’s like that and has never shied away even when he didn’t score much runs in 2017 Aus tour to India.

you are wrong, Australia have not abused other teams since the 70's, we have been abusing the poms for over a hundred years.
 
Translation: “We don’t like players showing aggression unless they are Australian”
 
Rich coming from an Aussie who played for way more rowdy Aussies sides.
 
Aus phr ro raha hain .Virat is doing nothing wrong aussie have done worse than that.
 
Australia, the likes of whom have displayed the rudest language and behaviour on the field...have the cheek to say this.

India have them rattled. Even if India lose this test, they should win the series.
 
mcgrath, ponting, bichel, martin, langer, hayden, gillespie - were these angels?
They used to have bad words up their sleeve all the time.

No problem in giving some payback to the Australians.
 
Nothing untoward was said by either of them. I like a bit of needle out there in the middle between players. This is one of the weakest Aussie sides ever who seem mentally afraid of India. I fancy the Aussies to win this Test if they can dismiss Kohli cheaply in the last innings.
 
Kohli does act like a monkey at times

He is one of the greats and should project a more classy image in my opinion

He can leave the antics to the other players
 
Kohli does go over the top sometimes. But the exchange with Paine was friendly banter i thought.

Isn't "monkey" racist? Harbhajan and Symonds are still fighting over it.
j/k.
 
Aussies seem to hate Kohli with gusto. Not merely basing it upon their players or experts, even their press, social media, crowds, casual fans all have him as perennial enemy number 1. It looks like a very personal enmity, mortals like us will be reduced to tears if we are given similar treatment but Kohli has been able to use the negative energy to further enhance his competitive nature. If Symonds were in his position, might have written 15 books already.

I know you’re kidding but in this context it’s not

When Bhajji called Symonds that the intention was to compare and mock the color of the skin

I’m referring to his antics of jumping around excitedly all the time

True and I think that's a very good characteristitc, I believe it's how he has grown up ,Gauti was like that but didn't have the skill level of Kohli
 
He is king and till he scores runs he can do anything. Abuse opposition players, captain or crowd.

All King's dynasties comes to an end sometimes, Sachin is respected all around the world not just for his batting but his behavior as well. Kohli is respected and already a legend but he needs to tone down a little, his actions are immature and excessive.

Manjrekar said same point. Kohli's on field behavior is accepted because he is champion batsman. If he didn't score then many would have criticized him but because he does people ignore his other activities. I think not many people actually care about this.
 
I might be in minority here but with this behavior he doesn't deserve to win anything big in his career.

He is acting like the proud genius in class who no one likes.
 
Amazing batsmen, but he's a clown.

There's a difference between banter and Kohli's antics.

If an Aussie did the stuff Kohli does, he would be by far the most despised player in the world.

No, lot of people do care, and i think it will be better for him to tone down a bit.I don't want him to be a mild gentleman like Tend, i do think some of his sledging is not all that bad, but sometimes he just overdo things.
 
Why are people bringing up old Aussie teams?

This is an Aussie team trying to change their culture and they have a hypocritical idiot who has whined about the Aussies before going on and on wanting a reaction from them.

As long as he performs , the way he performs, he deserve to win.He needs to tone down a bit, but to call him clown or undeserving is inappropriate.

Have you seen him in the field? That's what he is...

I went on about Hasan's celebration, but this dude is so much worse and he doesn't even pick up the wicket. This is an international captain behaving like a child.

I haven't called him clown but wont be long before majority will call him that if he continues with his childish antics.

Have seen this many times with Kohli acts like a Bully when on top but mellows down when under the pump.
 
This could be one of Indians greatest overseas test victories

What a turnaround! Great pace attack!

who's the first greatest asian cricket nation might I ask?

On topic: He really needs to tone it down. Jumping around like a monkey and making that OUU OUU face each time a wicket falls is hilarious at best.
 
Harmless stuff. Kohli hasn't crossed the line at all and has been within limits. Much ado about nothing. If anything it makes the cricket more interesting.
 
2 tests to go. No point fizzling out now.

Keep working them over, Kohli.
 
Lol it was all started by Kohli, Pant & Rahul and why will aussie stop giving it back?
 
I have heard that kohli just cried to the umpire that Paine has just shown him his place. Haha. Such a crybaby. He thought his childish behaviours will remain unanswered. Good to see that a clam character like Paine has shown him who's the real boss. U have my respect Paine. Thx for putting this brat to his place.
 
Bowling bouncers at the tail on a dangerous pitch and hitting Lyon on the head, cowardly move. Lost respect

This is kohli we r talking about here, OK? A player who sledge players after their dismissal. Do u think he has any self respect? Hopefully, tomorrow Australian fast bowlers will give it back with interest.
 
Kohli needs to understand that he is going to make things even worse for his team mates. The Aussies have been sledging for centuries, it is just in their DNA and how they play cricket. However it is not something natural to Indians or Pakistani's and the more these guys try to do it against guys who are pure naturals at it, the more buffoonish they are going to look. The other ten Indian players cannot back up the talk with their performances.
 
Everything was fine until that childish bump into Paine and then that cackling send off.

That's something you'd typically see in gully muhalla cricket.

That's why I always say that sledging just doesn't come naturally to sub continental players. They try too hard and end up looking like fools. This certainly doesn't imply that we shouldn't sledge, but maybe try to be ourselves and not just copy what the aussies do?

"Virat K is not only world's best batsman but also world's worst behaved player.His cricketing brilliance pales beside his arrogance and bad manners and I have no intention of leaving the country by the way" Nasiruddin Shah, India's famous actor in his Twitter

Looks like Indians have started to dislike their captan. My point is are we going overboard in case of Kohli's behaviour. He is passionate cricketer, he playes cricket with heart, with emotion with passion and he brings all these on the field. What is wrong with it? It is not such that Kohli is doing it for the first time. Many legends of the game did like Kohli in the past. If players become and act like robot, cricket will loose it's appeal and beauty and it will become boring. Shakib,Kohli, Stokes,Mushfiqur, Warner they are all passionate cricketers and I want that the number of these characters increase in world cricket.

Another thing is, if you don't like your captain that's fine, it's your opinion. But is it the right time to tweet it when your captain is giving more than 100 percent to make your country win?

Bohooo, sada kutta kutta, te twada kutta Tommy? Australians crying, when they've been the biggest bullies on the cricket field. More power to VK. I sure hope he wins, or at least draws the series in Australia.
 
Aussies can moan doesn't matter, Kohli can do what he wants to Aussies till he wins but he lost , Rahul and Vijay have made sure we are screwed along with Kohli's captaincy of course.
 
Aussies have drawn yet another imaginary line that only they can uphold.

Kohli is doing nothing wrong. Aussies are being crybabies as is their habit when things don't go their way.
