The booing really sucks. They're not letting go even now.

This is one of the great modern batting efforts this series from him ffs.

Not something you'd expect from Australian crowds.
ahahahahahahahahahaha.

oh wait you're serious, let me laugh even harder.

it's a little unusual (and ****ty as ****) for them to boo someone who gets to a hundred though. __________ is a wanker is so common it's really just background noise by now though
 

Teja.

Before this I don't recall seeing an opposition batsman score a hundred and the boos being louder than the applause at an Australian ground.

My experiences are definitely dominated by Laxman, Tendulkar and Dravid score quite a few between them, in fairness.

I have a Deja vu kind of feeling about how Raina got out first ball. Has it happened before that Raina was given a chance after a long break and was out for a duck? Or was it Yuvraj?

Highlight of the day was Kohli posing to the bunch of tools calling him a wanker and booing him all day when he brought up his century.

What a guy.

This was actually brilliant, ftr. Not just a Jono thing.

One of the bays were absolutely ****ing atrocious. Every time Kohli got on strike, it was another "Kohli's a wanker" chant. The whole Australian innings was "yeah Kohli, you better not field on the boundary you wanker". Every move he made was booed relentlessly.

Now I get that the 'wanker' chant is quite accurate. I get that he's not easy to like and is especially easy to despise as an opposition fan. But to boo him as he brought up a pretty damn impressive century proved that the ****s getting tanked on their Carlton Mids and back-slapping for their inventive anti-Kohli chants could not give two ****s about cricket. It was disgusting.

The ***s booed Rahul on making his ton too, and he's done nothing to get on the bad side of the Aussie fans. Pretty sure they booed Rahane on occasion too, and who the **** doesn't like Rahane?

India and Australia don't have the greatest of relationships on the cricket field, but the fans shouldn't descend to those depths.

Yeah, 'wanker' chants for pantomime villains (and Shane Watson) are nothing new.

Eurgh. What is going on With our fielding today. Was it two missed catches and an easy run out
Depends how many of the Burns misses you want to actually hold against him. I swear, everything that went near him under the helmet required something freakish from him to make it into a half-chance.

I don't like Rahane. I don't dislike him either. He's like a commute to work. You have to go through it to get anything worthwhile done, even though it's a bit of a non-event.
