Virat Kohli Press Conference after his 169

[TheWall]

excellent batsman BUT also a DRAMA QUEEN. Rahane played a better innings and he only let his bat do the talking .

Better than the pakis who open their loud mouth before the match has commenced. At least kohli scored big and gave it back.

Whining to the media is not a sign of aggression my dear ICF'rs

Wow! What an enlightening post, Socratis.

Nice. Looks like Virat has caught all the attention of Aus media, despite some other batsmen playing equally well if not more. Box office.

Next Dhoni :giggle:

[Debutant]

But running to the media is the reason he will never be as popular in Australia' date=' he is a cry baby, starts it and then runs to the media.[/quote'] Why exactly there is a need to be popular in bloody Australia. Let the Aussies think what ever they want, no one is bothered. He is there to play cricket not win some popularity contest. Aussies can keep hating him does not matter a bit. Fickle aussies dont matter :finger:

Regardless of how Kohli has done, big talk when his team has lost 2 out of 2 tests and have their asses to the wall in the third, sounds cranky. If india were on top, it would be different.

this match is even at best but proly advantage inida but youre right it looks cry-baby-esque and pretty stupid considering we are 2-0 down

Will Kohli wake the sleeping lion Johnson?

Great article in today's Age beautiful writing. "They began bickering like siblings on a long car trip." http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/angry-ant-virat-kohli-stuck-it-to-mitchell-johnson-and-came-out-the-victor-20141228-12erv2.html

Wonderful article .

".... he and Rahane gave India 262 runs and a vision of a future where they come back to this country with a few thousand more runs in their lockers and the chance to do what none of their predecessors have managed. Not this time, however. Mental fatigue eventually caught up with umpire Kumar Dharmasena, who gave Nathan Lyon the wicket of Rahane, a sympathetic gesture from one off-spinner to another, and the familiar tale of India's long tail unravelled again. By the end of the day, Kohli and Johnson were still at it, though, and the umpires' interventions had all the impact of a forceful letter to the ABC. Kohli, in truth, might better direct his feelings at some of his teammates, not least his captain. But you sense that he will take his anger where he can find it, and use it as fuel."

Towards the end of the play there was a heated argument between Harsha Bhogle and Hayden. Hayden :: Things that Kohli said in the press conference will come back to haunt him. He is dragging matters off the field, talking about respect-disrespect. Telling how things don't affect him. I as a cricketer can tell after getting hit by Johnson, he was rattled. He gave away 3 chances just after that, so don't tell me it doesn't affect you because it clearly did. Harsha :: I think its difficult for you to understand a young aggressive Indian, you have always been among the docile ones. Hayden :: I think its you who is having the difficulty to understand me, Harsha. I have been a cricketer and had been part of a lot of on-field, off-field brawls, I know how it can affect you and how it can't. That's why I can speak with autority on such matters. I had this incident where me and Shoaib Akhtar had a go at each other pre-match and in the end it was like he was about to throw something at me, and I was about to do the same. In the end, I came to bat, left the first ball and my off stump was flying. Just after this stumps happened.

^ Looks like Harsha succeeded in riling Hayden. I guess Hayden is more experienced in this matter than Harsh,lets see what happens tomorrow.

But does that have to with sledging' date='especially when you lose concentration?Rahane was as aggressive but didnt need such stuff.Made his bat do the talking[/quote'] O look here comes the fun police! :((

[Iconoclast]

Again Kohli gets into it with MJ this time giving him a sendoff ... foolishness.

[sticky wicket]

Top stuff from Kohli, on and off the field, at the end of day outside the context of test cricket, it is the same Aussie beggars who come crawling to IPL to earn easy bucks.

[amiret]

there was a heated argument between Harsha Bhogle and Hayden.

Harsha :: young aggressive Indian BLAH , BLAH, BLAH & more BLAH . Hayden :: Harsha , I have been a cricketer End of Argument.

All in all we will be chasing 350 from 90 overs tomorrow. If Kohli wins it then he is the hero else egg goes on his face.

Funny to see some Pakis whining here. They always seem to be crapping their pants at the sight of Kohli for some reason. :cantstop:

Imagine them after Ind vs Pak in UAE pattas :cantstop: Paki or not many people not gonna rate him as highly because being humble is a requirement to be rated highly in a sport :cantstop: eg: keeping quiet is the reason for Rahane's century being better as seen above :haha:

[India-KXIP fan]

Agreed. He lost his rhythm after the spat with Johnson. Need to learn from this. Although he got the bragging rights in the end today' date=' it won't be that way everyday.[/quote'] Nah he lost concentration cause he lost his temper. Temper was lost from stinging pain of ball hitting him on back. Would be really annoying! Words were not cause of that edge but the anger from pain was I think. Had it been only an exchange of words Kohli's concentration would have gotten better I think.

Why you get angry for pain? :hmmmm2:

Give someone a ball. Concentrate hard on something and have them throw that hard ball at your back really fast and you should be feeling :mad: :two_thumbs_up:
