Kohli's (and others') aggression is hurting us

[HippoSucks]

Not only is Kohli's (and overall the rest of the Indian team's) agression against the spirit of the game, it is in many cases costing us the game. The first case in point isn't really aggression towards a player, but mindlessly agressive decision making and lust for glory. Kohli somehow decided that he wanted to win a match which was impossible for us to win (1st test in Adelaide). In doing so, he brought us real close to winning and at least to a stage where we can't lose. Unfortunately, due to this winning mindset, he (and the rest of the players) hit some stupid shots. What was the result? A loss. The next example's culprit is primarily Rohit. In the second test at Brisbane, we had caused a mild collapse in the Australian batting and probably were going to restrict them to under 300 (what a miracle!). Unfortunately, our arrogant players decided to anger Johnson. The result? Him making a fifty off some 40 odd balls, and them going from something like 267/6 to 508. The next instance of this is just plain stupidity. Johnson very rightly hits Kohli accidentally while aiming for the stumps. He [Johnson] immediately goes and apologizes. However, our aggressive captain decided to get into a war of words with a guy who went 40/7 last year after being angered. Not to mention that they already saw the consequence of angering Johnson before. Thankfully, Johnson still didn't get in to his superman mode and we were able to draw the match. Nonetheless this was a very bad show of sportsmanship. Another instance of this happened at a time which I can't recall, but I believe it was the first test. Warner got out and Kohli and the bowler gave him a rude send off. It turns out to be a no ball (another extra, great!) and then Warner comes back and retaliates. After all this, our great captain goes in a press conference and has the nerve to say that the some of the Australian players (mainly Johnson and Warner) have lost his respect. The irony of it all! What is worse is that now we are criticizing Starc (an extremely friendly player) for a mild sendoff.
