**Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

[honestbharani]

Having rewatched the replay, I think Head started the issue as well and Siraj reacted by pointing to the pavilion. And he definitely was not saying well bowled. Anyone who thinks that is just ******** and/or biased beyond belief.

Siraj: It's a lie that Head said 'well bowled' to me

The video here pretty much proves it too.

You seem clear what he didn't say so what did he say then? neither you (or Siraj) seem to offer an alternative. Teri maki maybe?

Clearly he is saying **** Off. YOu can see the video after removing the biased glassses, maybe?

 

[honestbharani]

What do you mean starting? Swearing?

I don't know who started saying actual words but Head looked at Pooraj instantly after getting out and Pooraj was throwing a tantrum screaming.

In all honesty, if I get screamed at my face by a tosspot loser like Pooraj after making a run a ball 140, I'd be pretty tempted to react too. Instigation is not always words and this is without even going in to what Head initially said and we don't clearly know what that is

Yeah, Head started the verbals.. bowlers scream every time they take wickets including every "tosspot loser" you call fast bowlers from Australia. The crapinfo article has the video in case you wanna double check.

Dale Steyn did similar things every wicket he got- yelled like a mad man.
Head should have kept his head down and keep walking. If he never said anything, Siraj wouldn't have retaliated.

Incident has been made too much of, generally though. The two guys hugged after the match, move on.

Nah... send offs are definitely cowardly and batsmen have every right to react if the bowler says or gestures something. But a bowler screaming after getting a wicket is just par for course and as long as nothing is said or gestured at the batsman, I dont think its even a send-off.

It is imperative for indian test cricket that kohli and rohit retire. We have many batsmen in domestic cricket like sai sudharsan pradosh ranjan paul yash dull musheer khan and priyam grag who are young and can do better then these two senior batters

After he got the send off. My word but you’re the worst kind of nationalist boor.

Based on the last page, it’s apparently imperative Siraj didn’t send off Travis Head.

Nitish looks good to bat in top 6. Need raj bawa to come good then reddy can go up

 

[halba]

that was dreadful from india. 10 wicket loss. Huge decline from 2017. No good technique batters in Tests e.g. Pujara.

Is kuldeep still active? He was a big factor in that 2017 with the wrist spin bowling. I see- he is chronically injured. he is 29 now, most likely past his peak anyway.

I was looking forward to seeing how hard HB would HB but this is beyond what I thought likely for sure

Doesn’t surprise me at all. His MO begins with a mild rebuke of his team but always ends blaming the other side.

Good news for Australia is Morris, Bartlett and McAndrew are all getting through shield matches right now. So should be better pace bowler reserves than Abbott or Doggett next test

No video there for me. But there’s a split cam here https://vt.tiktok.com/ZNeT2JtPv/

I think Siraj gets the wicket and yells “yeah come on” or something like that then stares down Head who says something before Siraj starts waving him off and Head ends off with the **** you

Hard to tell exactly what was said but it doesn’t look like well bowled tbh

 

[trundler]

Pretty comfy win for Australia despite the drops but you'd want that **** sorted out by the next test as an Aussie supporter

****, no cricket tonight or the next 2 days
