Fair point on Kohli, he is a great batsman, ok captain tactically but about the worst sook/sore loser in cricket. His go to plan when all else has failed is go the man in this case Paine and try and get him engaged in all this on field BS. It's time umpires warn him for his
childish antics and give him a holiday to think about his on field behaviour. He is great for cricket with his flair and skill and brings people to the game but brings the game into disrepute nearly every game he plays and the establishment need to reign him in.
Agree with most of that - but don’t know if anything really crossed the line from either side in this test, I do think it has been blown up by the media.
He does carry on like a peanut at times... his reaction to getting out in the 1st innings was like when you cracked the sh1ts after a dodgy dismissal in the backyard. He could pull a WG Grace soon and just keep batting!

I think the chest puffed up and causing the collision (albeit very minor) with Paine is over the line. Leave that cr@p for the football field.

The mistake was Paine should have collapsed in a heap, been stretchered off the ground, claimed racism, called for Kohli's head on a platter, sued the BCCI for compensation and indirectly incited Australian supporters to bomb the Indian tour bus by stating publicly something very inflammatory like, "I'm not responsible for how Australian supporters are going to react to this provocation of it's countries captain!"
Then it would be equivalent to an Indian reaction to an Australian player bumping one of them!
But you cannot have it both ways, soon all the emotion will be gone as a result of the media highlighting these behaviors, then the same media will complain the game as telecast is boring and lacking in real viewer interest. The perpetually suffer from a grass is greener syndrome.

Re the contact, Kasogi Rabada is allowed to shoulder charge our batsmen after he gets them out. It's not just Kohli that gets away with whatever he wants

Where were the umpires when Kohli stepped into Paine's space... Grow a pair you weak pr1cks.
We Aussie's do it, we're +-*,s, when Kohli does it everybody looks the other way.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Yep, there was no need for that and Kohli again just looking for a reaction to break the batsmans concentration...Paine did well to avoid and move away and
Kohli should have been warned for that action by the umpires who seem to want to avoid confronting Kohli about his poor behaviour.
Its a shame because he is a great batsman and will be remembered more for this childish stuff he goes on with.

If you ever need evidence that the BCCI use the IPL for political purposes to influence and control cricket check out the recent auction / bidding results. Aussie players have effectively been locked out.
Very racist behaviour from the Indians.

You do realise that there are 9 Australian players ‘retained’ by IPL teams as well as some coaches.
Given that CA has required our World Cup squad to attend a training camp that clashes with the IPL and there is an overlap with the Sheffield Shield, the number of Aussies involved seems surprisingly high.
