Virat’s batting or “aggression: what gets on your nerves more?

[maniac]

I never had any problem and infact loved every movement when Virat Kohli said “Ben Stokes” with aggression every time. I even defended his behavior.

 

however it’s not his lack of form but his behavior over the last 2 tests has really gone off the charts. He has become borderline crazy at least on the field with his over the top celebrations and even behavior. Sam Konstas is annoying and extremely slappable but you can’t physically touch a player outside game play. Unacceptable. 
 

now he is mocking sandpaper gate and the same guy was scolding Indian fans for booing Steve Smith.

 

My god his behavior is really annoying.

 

what is worse?

Both.

In tests, I mostly check only scorecards. The best I could manage is to watch one complete session per day if the match timings allow. I think that's the case with most people here, and in general too. No info about his on field antics off late, apart from that shoulder jerk that got viral.

Its only mindless 'aggression' now

4th option should hv been : Round Trip to UK & return (on a day before an all imp series)

At-least do this when winning the game with an impactful contribution. What's the point of all this when losing the game badly?

yeah - it looks like you have lost and are pouring on the whine.

[Trichromatic]

Outcome matters.

 

Outcome of his batting - consistent failures.

 

Outcome of his aggression - can someone tell?

 

I will go ahead with batting which gets on my nerves more.

When past heroines used to be past their sell by dates, some of them used to resort to controversial statements, B grade movies and item songs to stay relevant.

 

That's what kohlis doing, he rather play the joker and grab attention on camera, than be out of the limelight. He is the item girl of the Indian team now. 

[vvvslaxman]

Aggression with performance can be tolerated. But he is merely replacing performance with Aggression. That is something i cannot tolerate.

Aussie sports journalists having a go at him lol

Looks mentally unstable and needs some professional help. Was also sniffing his fingers ala Joachim Low.

 

Disturbing individual and character.

He was due one last Hurrah! 

[MK55]

I think three things are annoying. His batting, on field behavior and also his off field antics as an international cricketer lol.

 

But yeah most will be his batting as the other two he always had (voted incorrectly lol).

There is a possibility.

Anushka Sharma can use her contacts (she did plastic surgery) and give Virat a makeover.

Virat bhai then can play for women's cricket.

[rish]

He is very classless.

 

Fitting that his last series in Australia ended up with another classless antic and a familiar mode of dismissal.

 

He has ruined his legacy for good.
