‘Not sure Kohli knows how to spell sorry’: CA chief James Sutherland

Virat Kohli continues to in the firing line of Australia's cricket fraternity. After an Aussie newspaper compared him to Donald Trump, CA boss James Sutherland said he wasn't sure the Indian captain could spell the word sorry.

A day after Australian media compared Virat Kohli to the United States President Donald Trump, the India captain continues to be in the firing line of the Australian cricket fraternity. Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland is the latest to attack Kohli.

Sutherland was asked by an Australian Radio channel -- FIVEaa -- whether Kohli should apologise for his latest outburst over the Australian team in India, Sutherland said: "I am not sure he (Virat) knows how to spell the word (sorry)."

The Daily Telegraph had compared Kohli to Donald Trump, saying "Kohli has become the Donald Trump of world sport".

It came a day after the drawn Ranchi Test after Kohli accused the Australian players of trolling Team India physio Patrick Farhart during the Ranchi Test.

"They (four-five of them) started taking Patrick's name. I don't know why. He's our physio. His job is to treat me. I don't find the reason behind it. I could not understand. You must ask why they have started taking his name," Kohli said.

While saving a run on the first day of the third Test, Kohli hurt his right shoulder and Farhart rushed onto the field to attain to his injury. Kohli eventually left the field with the physio and was back in action only on the third day.

Later, Glenn Maxwell was seen mocking Kohli's injury when he imitated his action by clutching his right shoulder after his dive to save a boundary. The Indian skipper, too, gave it back with a similar gesture when David Warner got out in Australia's second innings.

However, Smith insisted that they never disrespected Farhart, who himself is an Australian.

"Virat was having a go at me out in the middle and saying how I was disrespecting Patrick Farhart when actually it was the exact opposite. If I was to do anything, (I was inferring) he did a pretty terrific job to get Virat back on the field after that shoulder," Smith said.

'LOAD OF ****'

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke called the Kohli-Trump comparison "funny" and said the 28-year-old is smart enough to not care about what the Australian media was writing.

"Comparing Virat Kohli with Donald Trump - what a load of **** is that. What Virat did, even Smith would have. I could just laugh about the Trump thing (comparison). I find it quite funny and am sure Virat will also find it quite funny," Clarke to India Today in an exclsusive chat.

"Bear in mind, I love Kohli and the Australian public love him. It's just two or three reporters who are trying to tarnish him"I always somehow find an Australian in him the way he plays and I absolutely love how he accepts challenges. It's just two or three reporters who are trying to tarnish him but Virat shouldn't be bothered," Clarke said.

AUSSIE MEDIA BLAMES ICC

"Test captains, under the rules of the game, are supposed to be the flagbearers for upholding the spirit of the game, yet the ICC has allowed the Indian captain to destroy one of the foundations on which the game has been played for more than a century," The Daily Telegraph wrote.

"The fact Kohli has not been sanctioned for calling the Australians systematic cheats or his latest unfounded attack on Smith shows that he is completely untouchable."

"The ICC won't fine him. Not even the BCCI, who through their broadcaster apologised to Smith, can get their skipper to tow the party line."

DRS INCIDENT

The Kohli-Smith quarrel started in Bengaluru over a DRS incident when the Australian captain was caught seeking help from his team's dressing room over a review after he was trapped leg before by Umesh Yadav.

While Smith called it a "brain fade", Kohli warned the visitors of "crossing the line". Both the cricket boards jumped in and defended their captains before International Cricket Council decided put an end to the controversy by not pressing charges against Smith or Kohli.

The two boards then signed a peace treaty.

The series has been full of ups and downs and emotions have taken the centrestage ahead of cricket in the last two Tests. Australia came into the series as underdogs but Smith's men fought fire-with-fire to win the first Test in Pune. However, Kohli's men bounced back smartly to clinch a 75-run win in the second Test in Bengaluru before the third Test ended in draw. The series stands 1-1 at the moment with the decider to be played in Dharamsala from Saturday.

Make more deals with the devil. 2007-08 me Kumble-Ponting peace pact aur yahaan COA-Sutherland peace treaty. I mean how has an incident of cheating by the Australian skipper turned into Virat bashing? Sorry but BCCI is a spineless body, always has been. And Indian media has been too submissive.

I really do not care about test cricket much. BUT I want India to demolish the Aussies here.

 

Fact is Steven Smith cheated. He got caught and called out. And instead of owning up to it and condemning that behaviour, all I read is their ad hominen on Kohli.

 

Big chip on their shoulders.
