Disagree CnC. I love to see that passion in a sportsman. It would be a different story if he was jumping up and down in his opponents face.

Kohli is the guy with Virat on his back. He has a beard and he plays for India. You have obviously been watching some other cricket match. I remember that you said that Anfield was Old Trafford in a picture quiz on ABC a few months back. Maybe it’s time for you to visit your local optician

I remember a few years ago, a SA radio DJ (darryl Illbury) launched a tirade at the Sri Lankan players for celebrating after winning a match against the mighty Proteas...lost his job soon after. What try to detract from another teams victory by finding irrelevant things to complain about. If there are valid reasons to complain (ref decisions etc), by all means discuss that.

Not a huge cricket fan at all...but do enjoy watching Kohli, Sharma, AB, Steve Smith etc bat.

One of my most memorable soccer matches was between Utd and Arsenal many years ago...when their hostility was at it's highest. I can still remember Keown jumping and shouting into Van Nistleroys face after he missed a penalty....the atmosphere was palpable. That is one of the things that make sport great...................imo.

What Keown and a few of the other Arsenal players did was wrong. The reason why they did it was that 10 minutes earlier Van Nistleroy threw himself on the ground which got Vieira sent off and the penalty awarded to United was a dive. The good thing to come out of that match was that penalty miss which was to become the first match of Arsenals long 49 PL unbeaten run, including going an entire season unbeaten and winning the PL for which they have a Gold PL trophy unlike just the normal one that usually is handed out. No team, not even this wonderful Man City team can ever go unbeaten in a season again. That what makes Arsenal one of the greatest football clubs in the world.

I loved the fire in those matches...in fact I miss it. The current teams are too passive imo.

Proteas have to make at least 5 changes for the final ODI. Give all the reserves a run and see what they can bring to the team. Can’t do any worse than they have so far

NZ 244 in there 20 overs, Australia look as if they will chase it down. Eden Park is a rugby ground even i would hit a straight 6 on that ground and i have never hit a 6 in my life.

And Aus chased it down with 7 balls to spare...where they playing back-yard cricket ?

SA batsmen playing with fear - scared to take any chances as places in team not secure...Zondo allowing the dots to build in the power-play and when he hits out, he will get out...

Anybody thinking of organising a welcoming home parade for the Proteas after the WC next year should rather spend their time doing walks for charity, long walks as this team are an embarrassment to the country. They appear to have no desire or the will to win. They are saving themselves for the IPL and are just going through the motions.

SA 1 India 5 this is on terms with the ABs thrashing the Boks 57-0 and Bayern beating Arsenal 10-2 on aggregate last season. Why does it keep happening to the teams that I support Never mind tomorrow the Stormers will bring a broad smile.

This has been a real hiding , back to the drawing board for the sa team

I hope Kholi didn't offend anyone and that he apologizes for winning :whistle:
