Who plays cricket on the basis that being physically accosted, assaulted is part of the game? You? Ever? The Game has its limits, not the players. It's not up to them, and if it was, I suspect Kohli would come a distant last. His was a craven cheap shot.

Physically assaulted, sport is not for you. If you have a gander players make the rules. Nothing is done without the players. Most of the match rules and regulations are all controlled by the players. I don't see one player who is even bothered by what Kholi did. If the Australian players wanted to they could have made a huge fuss but they didn't even see what the problem was. Kholi was only fined to appease the sensitive folk who think cricket is played by gentlemen and even they don't know what that means.

Cricket is a non contact sport. Players play, the MCC makes the Rules. Plain fact.

I've seen biffo in cricket grade matches. Even an all in brawl at Petersham oval.
Despite any 'physical' violence at Test level.
Australians are notorious at MENTAL ABUSE aka Sledging.
They called the West Indies Nig Nogs, which actually backfired, as it motivated the Calypso Oceanians to whip Australia's arse for a long dynasty.

So we see a big huff puff about physical abuse and fines.
But Australia gets away with murder when it comes to Mental abuse: verbal assault. Clarke, Smith, Warner have been the worst since the Golden Age of Taylor & Waugh.

MCC make the laws, each country playing decide on the rules before each series. Players, players association, governing boards and umpires agree on a set of rules before the series. MCC laws could say no physical contact and the rules say if you do then you get a 20% fine or other penalties.
