Travis Head abused Siraj "FUCK YOU" on camera and then LIED that he said
"Well bowled".

WHY do White players LIE ON THE FLY?

Same shit with James Anderson who LIED that he DIDN'T PUSH Jadeja during
the break a few years ago, despite being caught on the camera.

Mohammed Siraj on Travis Head send-off incident: It’s a lie that he said ‘well bowled’ to me

Mohammed Siraj says Travis Head abused him after he celebrated his wicket.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy needed some spice. And the Travis Head vs
Mohammed Siraj incident on the second day of the pink-ball test has
given that to this series to spice things up for the remaining three Tests.

Australia batter Travis Head said he was disappointed with how his
dismissal transpired – both with the fiery sendoff that India pacer
Mohammed Siraj gave him. A heated exchange followed as Siraj appeared to exchange a few words and gestured Head towards the dressing room.

“I said ‘well bowled’ but he thought otherwise … when he pointed me to the sheds he got a little bit back from me,” Head told Fox Cricket after
the day’s play. “I’m slightly disappointed with how that transpired,
with a couple of the past innings. It is what it is. If they want to
react like that and that’s how they want to represent themselves, then
so be it.”

Siraj disagrees

However, Mohammed Siraj disagrees with Head’s comments, saying the
Australian opener lied about the send-off incident.

“It was a good battle. I loved bowling to him. He has batted really well
for his 140,” Siraj told the Start Sports.

“When you get hit for a six on your good ball, it kind of gets annoying.
It ignites your passion. When I got him out, I celebrated but he abused
me,” said Siraj.

“It’s a lie that he said ‘well bowled’ to me.
“We don’t disrespect anyone. I respect every cricketer. Cricket is a gentleman’s game but the way acted after getting out was uncalled for,”
he said.
Harbhajan backs Siraj

Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who has had a history with the Australian cricket, backed Siraj and lauded him for his bowling performance.

“We don’t disrespect anyone. I respect every cricketer. Cricket is a gentleman’s game but the way acted after getting out was uncalled for,”
he said.
Harbhajan backs Siraj

Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who has had a history with the Australian cricket, backed Siraj and lauded him for his bowling performance.

“you did Siraj was right. He will remember that ball for a long while.
And He definitely didn’t say “Well bowled”! Whole Australia also must have watched.

“You did right. He (Travis Head) never said ‘well bowled.’ Australians don’t say this to anyone. I have had my fair shares of battles with them
in the past.


“You can see what he actually said on TV. Initially, I only celebrated
but he was the one who started the conversation. In the press
conference, he lied that he said ‘well bowled.’ You can go and check the highlights again.
