Keeping aside the emotions, I think its obvious Virat is going through something and is just not in a great mental space. Today was obviously completely irrationally idiotic behaviour and while he has often acted out in public as an entitled guy, I have also seen a side of him where he is very respectful of the game and his opponents. And with Australia, he usually only reacts badly when there has been provocation. This is totally uncalled for as there was really no reason to do any of this. Added to his issues with the media, I get the feeling there maybe something going on personally and he is not in a great space. Does not excuse this type of horrific behaviour obviously.

But just the fact that he missed an entire home test series for the birth of his second kid, his moving base to UK seems to suggest some kind of health issue for his second kid which maybe the reason he is moving to the UK. Its not the same guy who spoke so glowingly about Pakistan after they beat us in the 2017 CT, and who acted so respectfully when NZ beat us in the WTC finals etc and who defended Mohammed Shami so passionately after that 2020 T20 WC game against Pak. And as I said, even during his youth, outside of carrying on screaming after wickets or whatever, he usually only reacted when something was said or done to him. Just dont think he is in the best space mentally and that means he is gonna suck and we are gonna lose badly this game as well. :(

Since we're indulging in armchair diagnoses, I'm gonna put on my gossip cap and say he's whipped domestically, it's plain as day to see. All the OTT "endorsements" in public suggest a man on the backfoot and having to constantly prove himself. No wonder his game's gone down the shitter and he's taking out his frustrations on teenagers.

I remember this Steven Smith. Back before the mods decided complimenting his autistic attention to detail was problematic.
