You're right. Throwing at the batsman like India regularly threaten to do/do is a cowardly act. When you place it together with their over the top celebrations upon getting out a batsman who almost scored as many as their whole team, and the running down the wicket without even looking at the umpire to celebrate an LBW that isn't out, we really should be putting them on the next plane home.

Having just read what Siraj had to say, I have no problems believing he is absolutely speaking the truth about what happened when Head was dismissed. Head was definitely lying when he said all he said was well bowled.

That said, Siraj did point to the pavilion and I have no qualms with a batsman coming back with some words to that gesture, any time anywhere and for any score. Send offs are the second most cowardly thing to do (first being throwing at the batsmen which Aussies specialize in) and needs to be nipped out of the game for good, along with the first.

The worry for Aus is this kind of stuff does fire India up. We will have to wait and see but I wont be surprised if we see us playing far better from now this series.

Yeah, now we are talking, this is what BGT should look like, two top teams abusing each other and their family.

I wish even worse things happen and we see a thrilling series with lots of controversies.

Hopefully someone from our side can throw in a racist jibe too.

On a separate note, I heard Boland is a native Australian and our fourth match is in his home ground.

Seems churlish to say but I really don't think Kohli's hundred should count for much tbh.

Oh come on. Kohli averages 52 in Australia with 7 hundreds in 15 tests. Who would drop any batsman with that record after they just scored another hundred in Australia (was actually 7 in 14 tests so due another next Test to make 8 in 16)

This is crazy talk. Jaiswal, Rahul, Gill, Pant, Reddy and Bumrah aren't getting dropped. Then we have Kohli just hit a hundred, Siraj has done well and Sharma is the captain. So that leaves 2 spots of Rana and Ashwin up for change.

Kohli and Rohit are both taking up spaces.

Nobody would, but that's not the question of whether someone should.

I’d drop Rohit and Kohli if I could. Don’t even care who replaces them at this point though it’s not exactly very inspiring.

Not saying drop him but that hundred definitely doesn't clear up the question marks about him especially given the nature of his dismissals in this game

There's no way I'm dropping Kohli of all people in the middle of a tour to Australia when he's scored a ton. Even in his worst form he's more likely to get a score here than any replacement. Move on from him after the tour if you want to, not right now.

Yeah Kohli gets the series after the first test hundred. Rohit has to go definitely. Doesn't even look like he can score a fifty let alone a hundred.

If rohit is gonna bat 6 i'de drop him for jurel or sarfaraz. Jurel also gives india a proper keeper; I like pant but his knee does not look good enough to be keeping RN. That head drop from him was 100% a result of him not being willing to put weight on it.

I kind of wonder if it's actually impacting his batting more than we expected too. He's playing a **** ton of crazy shots but he doesn't look quite as stable in defence, especially coming forward. Could just be the conditions obvs.

Jurel should absolutely be keeping though.

Solid response. Consistent moderating straight down the middle and fair on all parties.

Anyways, stage set for a proper 4-1 thumping here.

I don't recall ever moderating on it, you're all perfectly free to do it, and most of it is sincere which is fine. But you were saying India were going to lose by an innings even when Australia were 7/50 at Perth; that's obviously insincere and that's why you got called out.

But I do find the idea that it's biased moderating against India to be against Indian fans being too pessimistic about their own team very funny. Certainly a first.

After he got the send off. My word but you’re the worst kind of nationalist boor.

Again did you even see the video? I bloody linked to it there in the crapinfo article and he is clearly talking after Siraj is screaming and then Siraj does the gesture to go back to the pavilion.

Its like the worst one eyed Aussie jingoist poster in a forum that has ****ing Burgey and TJB... :laugh:
