***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Kohli did the same yesterday to Dawson but that was obviously ok then?

 

[honestbharani]

No.. Kohli was off balance and throwing on the turn. It's easy to see why that can go like dat. Root threw with full intent at the batsman. Big difference mate.

 

[honestbharani]

Plus they were running a single when Kohli threw. Why was Root throwing again, apart from being a sore loser?

Talking so much ****. Have a word with yourself.

 

[honestbharani]

No sir. It's obvious Root was sore by the way he was having a go at Nair for reverse sweeping him. This was just an extension. You should have a word with yourself for calling facts ****.

 

[Burner]

Obvious Root was being a prick. Sportsmen do it, no need to defend him.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. it doesn't make them any less in terms of cricket ability. Just who they are, I guess. Obviously has to behave better if Root becomes captain though. Even Kohli has mellowed, of all people.

 

[harsh.ag]

Left him at 193. Huge innings though. Some beautiful shots, esp on the up.

 

[Shri]

Warner was not wrong back then it looks like.

 

[Spark]

Root having a, shall we say, abrasive personality is hardly news, no?

 

[Rootfan]

Root's good boy looks have always deceived people. Bloke's wile and malicious. Runs on pancakes have gotten to his head. Can't wait to see him string together a run of low scores. Hope he makes more visits to Australian bars with Warner.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, pancakes like Trent Bridge in 2015 where he scored a first day ton in the second innings

Haha, yeah. The incident today was regrettable but if you're going to use it to have a more general dig at Root, basically calling him a FTB is not the greatest line of attack.

 

[Rootfan]

Bloke's particularly good away from home...all those tons...oh wait. FWIW I just said runs on pancakes have gotten to his head. Not exactly a great extrapolation to say that means he is a FTB.

 

[Shri]

Get to a lead by lunch by batting without too much risk, promote Jaddu after lunch and tell everyone to swing for the fences. Declare/all-out by tea with a 50-150 run lead, bowl England out by the morning of the fifth day. Perfect plan. Oh wai, we did that in Mumbai. I don't know, do whatever I guess.

 

[ImpatientLime]

what the **** is this? tmz? bunch of gossips discussing players personalities.

 

[Rootfan]

I am all for sledging but it strikes me as particularly weak that someone like Root who got bullied by Warner and other big boys himself would go after a semi-debutant, probably frustrated at the flatness of the pitch on which he himself as usual filled his boots. Would love to see if Root would have the gall to sledge Kohli, Wahab, Steyn or any of the Australians. Such a **** thing to do to pick on the softest target. Hope India get a lead and the pitch crumbles. Ickle Rootie will keep his trap firmly shut if that happens.

 

[ImpatientLime]

ahahahahahaha at using sledging kohli as some benchmark of alphaness. what's he gonna do? squirt his beard conditioner at him?

 

[Daemon]

Haha where can I see a highlight of this? I've just got an image in my head of Ellen throwing a tantrum.

 

[Burner]

Dory is unhappy.
