Joe Root throwing the ball at head/body of KL Rahul ?

Joe Root throwing the ball at head/body of KL Rahul.

Quite Nasty and Dangerous.

Was that deliberate? He seemed like a prick doing that? No reprimand from ICC?

 

Apology was more of a "yea yea whatever" apology.

To be fair to Root, Rahul was outside the crease when he threw the ball. Also he immediately apologized, so nothing much to comment on it.

Are you blind? The douche clearly slinged the ball at Rahul. If he's outside the crease. then aim at the stumps not at his head. That was one of most sorriest apologies I have ever seen. I hope when he comes to bat, somebody throws the ball right at his head.

Just like Kohli at Dawson? Or when Kohli hit Bairstow on the arm by throwing it at him whilst he wasn't looking (and then refused to apologise)? Don't remember you complaining or calling for reprimands then.

It all started with Anderson throwing the ball at Vijay. Only one team is playing within the spirit of the game and that is the home team. Root needs to take his frustrations out elsewhere. He needs to practice aiming at the stumps.

Both teams need to grow up. In fact, international cricketers in general do. It's like watching under 12s at times.

 

Only SA and NZ act like the mature adults they are.

Root was all meek and accepting when Warner smacked him around.

 

Trying to show fake aggression when you look like a choir boy and been hammered is simply embarrassing.

The angle Root picked up the ball and since he had to throw right away, I don't think it looked intentional.

Then he apologized too. However, it angered Rahul and he said something back and Joe Root replied with something suggesting that he wasn't trying to hit him etc.

 

That's it. Stop sensationalizing Fineleg. Go work for AajTak.

That wasn't intentional .Also the Kohli throw was just as bad as well tbh .Just stupid unnecessary throws .

Thought umpires handled both one sensibly
