Obviously test

Andrew McDonald: Asked about Andrew McDonald's comments on India 'intimidating' Sam Konstas at the end of day one’s play in the Sydney Test, India head coach Gautam Gambhir hit back by saying that cricket is a "tough sport played by tough men" and that one can’t be that soft.

Konstas had been given send-off by Indian players, with captain Jasprit Bumrah staring at him after he took Usman Khawaja's wicket on the last ball of day one’s play. Australia head coach McDonald had said after day two that he had to check on Konstas' welfare after the intimidating episode.

But speaking after India lost by six wickets to lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1, Gambhir shrugged aside McDonald’s concerns. "It's a tough sport played by tough men. You can't be that soft. As simple as it can get. I don't think there was anything intimidating about it."
