Former Australian Test spinner Greg Matthews has slammed the Australian team for the way they reacted when Virat Kohli was hit in the helmet by a bouncer on day three of the first Test against India in Adelaide on Thursday. A rising short-pitched delivery from Mitchell Johnson hit Kohli in the head as he tried to duck out of the way. The India captain was immediately surrounded by Aussie players checking whether he was OK. But although it was an understandable response considering the circumstances of Philip Hughes' recent death, Mathews believed that it's time to get back to playing the game.
