Jaiswals call. Kohli not paying attention at all. Bad cricket all round really. Whether or not they made the run or not if they both went is a whole other conversation

Agree lots of bad cricket but I disagree Kohli did anything wrong, watching the ball and fielder ready to run- if Cummins mis-fields he was ready and watching. The poor call from Jaiswal was terrible- he should have been a few steps down the pitch watching Cummins and then saying no run.

He took off straight away, Kohli saw him coming clearly and then ball watched. Its cricket 101 - trust your batting partner. There was a run there, Kohli saw it and then ball watched and then said no. It was not his call. Again cricket 101 says when it goes down the ground - strikers' call. Behind the bat - non-strikers' call.

That is why point and mid wicket are key positions. The most indecision and harder to judge . Who's call when the ball goes square?

Non striker. It's whoever is running to the danger end.

Square of the wicket it's 50 / 50 that's why the run outs come . Both ends are the danger end .

Basic cricket is knowing the fielder too- Cummnins has done it three times now at Mid-On- Pujara and Abbas. Or getting to stumps when you're 82- might have helped his team more than a attempt at a single.
Pujara had just reached 100 and took him on and lost- stupid cricket then and it's still stupid on 82.
What did a single there gain? They could have gone to stumps with Kohili on 50 and Jaiswal on 100. Instead that single cost them three wickets.
He hit it too hard to make that run and it didn't impact the game, he didn't even make his ground at the non-striker's end.
If it wasn't Kholi the villain at the other end we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Ponting- no run- hit too hard.
Vaughan- no run- hit too firmly and straight to him.
Waugh- no run
Shastri- no run
Kholi was 100% right.

Do you even watch cricket or are you just a causal observer passing by?

Maybe we wouldn’t be having this conversation, doesn’t change the fact it was Kohli’s fault. If Jaiswal hadn’t been thrown under the bus and shown a bit of intent, he might have even been able to make it back.
The fielder doesn’t matter, in that situation, it isn’t Kohli’s decision to make, he wasn’t running to the danger end anyway.
On every metric other than you can’t be wrong, it was Kohli’s fault. Even using your logic against you, if Lohli had responded as he should have and committed, they score the run and continue to put pressure back on Australia.
