I've done my best to avoid reading about/watching anything to do with
this and just focus on the cricket, but it's been pretty hard given
that's all the coverage has been about since day 5.
That being said, yeah, Hinds's summary is spot on.
Hopefully now we'll get to see some actual cricket.

Subject:[bumbag] Warner, de Kock, etc
Richard Hinds has summed it up beautifully.
"...relentless premeditated abuse takes the game beyond these limits
and creates an environment in which it only takes one particularly
nasty jibe to create the kind of fracas in which Warner and de Kock
engaged. This is not to justify de Kock's reportedly vile comment
about Warner's wife [1] for which he was rightly punished. But it is
disingenuous for the Australians to apply such relentless verbal
pressure then wonder why an opponent overreacts."
