How selfish is Kohli to chase balls that far away instead of leaving them?

[Dil Dil India]

Just watching his mode of dismissals makes my blood boil. This moron keeps getting out to the same ball that he could easily leave alone over and over again. This is why he can never be as good as Tendulkar or Smith. This show pony doesn't want to grind out 100s or scores for his team. Such a shameless loser. Team is looking to save the match, have lost 2 wickets early and left arm over the wicket from Starc and this guy goes for a drive from 5th stump. If Gambhir doesn't kick him and Rohit out, they should all be kicked out. Ashwin would have genuinely been a better batting option than Rohit or Kohli on this tour.

At this point you can pick a random galli-mohalla player can't do any worse than Kohli and any of the other batters in the squad - Sarfaraz, Jurel, Paddikal - would be a huge upgrade over this manhoos.

he just wants to make 20s and 30s so that bewdabot can hype him up

he needed to reinvent himself like tendulkar did, but hasn't. he's clearly a gun when the balls goes soft as shown at perth. bat him at 5 or 6 in sydney

he's no gun at anything. he will still get out flashing at balls outside off. plenty of times in last 4-5 years when he walked out against soft ball/pitch and got out in the same way.

Kohli is consistently late while driving the ball, I am not an expert but I belive this is due to slowing reflexes as he is consistently late in transferring the weight to front foot while committing.

 

This won't be much of an issue if the ball isnt moving, but if there is even a bit of movement ball will miss the middle of the bat.

yeah, it's slowed down reflexes, but also manifested as sluggish footwork. he used to get closer to pitch of ball before

nah today he edged it in 26th over. 

 

Perth was due to tired bowlers and zero pressure

[Lord]

At this point, I'll be happy with him if he gets out some other way lol

he's not going to be dropped. he's more likely to contribute down the order. i think we even did that to dravid, or was it laxman

Maybe LBW or bowled to an off spinner from Lyon. That's another one of his favorite dismissal but Lyons hasn't had a chance to do so

Change it! Can't take it anymore 

 

And don't change it to Kohli or Rohit 

[vvvslaxman]

I think he should seriously try this bat

I was thinking he might over compensate and start leaving balls outside off-stump, and get bowled leaving an incoming ball.

Maybe it hasn't gotten to that stage yet.. Expect it to happen at SCG

It did happen in England. But these balls had no chance of coming back in.
