Global.Baba Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I thought “banter” means both ways. What did Vijay say, I am curious to know that Link to comment
R!TTER Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 He's right though, Kohli's aggressiveness even against his (Indian) detractors is worrying. He doesn't take criticism well, likes a yes man for coach, flays reporters who question team selection/composition or tactics & worst of all goes defensive really quickly on the field, as opposed to his all macho/aggro persona.

LordPrabhzy Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 the problem is Subcontinent players dont get the Aussie/English way of an insulting banter ( Im surprised Vijay understood what 'bloke' meant') Our sledging revolves around screaming and MC BC type stuff because thats all our players know. White players imply the same insult in a subtle way but whereas Asian players end up resorting to crude language most of the time. Hence why Kohli gets targeted a lot. This applies to com box to, the english and aussie commentators will have their contextualised banter of their culture whereas our commies like Harshan Manju and Gavaskar will shamelessly laugh and pretend to join in when they no clue whats being talked about.

Rasgulla Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 He didn't say wrong.. As a player doubt anyone would like him as captain Vijay was silent Nikola 1 Link to comment

Pak_cric Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 its just sledging tactics from Tim....But good to know that Kohli managed to get under Aussie's skin. They are clearly bothered, he got the century that aussies said they wont let him get. If anything Kohli needs to be more aggressive to get the upper hand in the mental battles. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hardly amazing banter by Squeak clean Tim. Not sure why you guys hailing it as some kind of great sledge. Probably been working for a few days on this alleged killer line Sgattick10 and sandeep 2 Link to comment

( Manju- "oh thats big, a big West Indian one") nah .. they get personal as well Quote Glen McGrath (Australia) and Eddo Brandes (Zimbabwe) Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11 Eddo Brandes – who was just missing each ball. McGrath, frustrated, went to him and inquired: “Why are you so fat?”Quick as a flash, Brandes replied, “Because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit.” beetle, express bowling and flamy 3 Link to comment

I have been living in the UK for 15 years now so yes I can clearly differentiate between western sledges and the attempted Indian ones. I have yet to see any witty sledges from Indian players till now. If you have please direct me to any instances and I will retract my statement. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

Temujin Khaghan Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It's a trick question. If he says no I love kohli then he is gay. If he says yes I dislike him then kohli will put a bowl in his hands and ask him to go beg. Link to comment

I have heard many witty Indian sledges, but difficult to give any link of that. One instance of an out of the the field sledge would be Ganguly saying about Shastri, " Don't interview him in the morning. He understands things much better in the afternoon ". Regarding the commentators, just like Indians don't always get what a couple of English are saying, the reverse is also true. This is a natural thing. Link to comment
Sloane84 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 As a person, Kohli is a clown. Ever since this fool sent in Pakistan to bat in the Champions Trophy final, I knew he was an idiot. Now he is again playing the fool with Paine...…….after shooting himself in the foot by picking 4 Number 11s, no spinner' and two openers who cannot bat to save their lives. Kohli the person and the captain deserves all the condemnation he gets. flamy and Virat_Fangirl 1 1 Link to comment
