***Official*** Australia in India 2017

Whatever it takes!!!
Wut? because of the smith incident? What a whiny ****

Nah.. They had been doing it all 3 days is what Kohli said. Seems they reported it to the umpires and referee even before today and that is why the umpire kept his eyes open to what Smith was doing today. As I said, I love me some Kohli. :)

The cynic in me honestly wonders if he believes this, or whether he's trying to get the public fired up and on his team's side even more.
If it was reported to the match referree and videos are available, no need to be this cynical. Can just accept Australia tried to sneak one in on the rules and got called on their ****. Wont be the first time.

Yeah, we'll have to see. He better be right, though. Otherwise he should have the book thrown at him.
Hmmm...the quickness with which both the umpires and Kohli reacted to this kinda makes me think they were on the look out for it, which supports the idea that this isn't the first time this has happened.

I personally think Kohli is very much affected by his individual performance. Probably trying to appear as 'the' enemy so that next time Australia do give him a hostile reception and hence maybe get off their plans a little.

You mean "if I take his word for it precisely", sure. I don't see why I have to do that yet.

I mean, if they actually did it, then sure.

Yeah but I didn't notice anything like that on any of the other reviews. So I honestly don't know.

You mean he can lie in the Presser about reporting to the referee as a captain??? Sounds as plausible as Smith and Kohli sharing drinks tonight.

Actually reckon Spark's on the money (if I read his point properly). I think Kohli's definitely peeved, but the man knows the value of a loud and angrier Indian crowd that gets into the game and that's the best 12th man you could have.

He'd make a fine actor.

It definitely might not be an either/or thing. It just strikes me as odd for some reason.

This is the bit that strikes me as weird. He obviously knows what he's trying to imply, why the "me no nuffin!" thing at the end?

If you're gonna call them cheats, just say it. Don't do this.

Also, the main reason I think he should have the book thrown at him if his account is anything but absolutely 100% correct is that it's ensured that everyone will be (and is) talking about this instead about an amazing Test match, which is borderline criminal in my view.
