Simmer down Timothy!
Simply because he is not Smithy!
Not my style but each to their own as long as it harms no one.
I have often asked why the Australians cannot eradicate their senseless sledging and general poor behaviour but most Aussies think it is par for the course!
Kohli is one chap who will not put up with the Aussies arrogance and he will give as good as he gets!
Again I do not endorse that sort of behaviour from anyone, but that is the way it is and the Aussies are not used to retaliation! Generally they give but cannot take it, ask MacGrath and others.
In fact Smithy does a lot of celebrating himself, kissing this that and the other, same for Warner and many others!
For example, do you find Warner's jesticulations, when celebrating, excessive, showy, impertinent?

Pup,
We cannot all be the same and we do need characters as long as they do not cross the line.
I do not think either gentlemen, (Warner, Kohli and others) are yet to cross the line with their celebrations.
Being expressive does not equate to lack of humility.
Just that you had not complained about Warner's celebrations before but I hear you!
Not sure if you were around at teh time of Lillee, Pascoe, Thompson etc but they were quite firey and great characters, except Lillee did cross the line many times!

I like to hear and see a bit of sldeging : not incessant but witty ones !
Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11 Eddo Brandes –
who was just missing each ball. McGrath, frustrated, went to him and inquired:
“Why are you so fat?â€
Quick as a flash, Brandes replied :
“Because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit.†::LOL::

Viv Richards hit Merv Hughes for four consecutive boundaries in one over.
Merv stops halfway down the pitch, farted loudly,
and said to Viv: “let’s see you hit that to the boundary!â€
Viv was dumb-founded. ;D
