Travis Head was the showstopper of Saturday, dominating the Indian bowling attack in Adelaide. Day 2 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy pink-ball Test was action packed as Travis Head’s magnificent hundred stole the spotlight. The Australian batter was in supreme touch, hitting 140 runs off just 141 balls and looked set to score much more. However, his innings were cut short when he was bowled out by a lethal yorker from Mohammed Siraj in the 82nd over. Head could not get his bat down in time and the ball rattled his stumps.

The dismissal led to a heated moment as Siraj celebrated with a fiery send-off, but Head was not going to let that go without a response. The two exchanged words before Head walked off to a standing ovation from the Adelaide Oval crowd, while Siraj faced boos from the spectators.
“I think they booed him after the reaction. If you want to raise the crowd up, you get the crowd.”

“When You’re Out You Can’t Do Much About It” Says Head
“Yeah, there’s been conversations I’ve had, I’ll leave those conversations that I’ve had with individuals around that. Like I said, I feel like the way I would like to play the game, I guess the respect shown for myself and I hope my teammates, I’d feel like I’d hold a high expectation of my teammates as well and the way we conduct ourselves and the way we go about things. I can’t speak much for India but like I said I’m going to call that in certain situations, I’ve had conversations with guys this year about that and I feel like you can play hard and play fair but obviously when you’re out you can’t do much about it.”
Cordial Terms Between India And Australia
“I think the relationship [between the teams] is really, really good. I think that’s why I’m disappointed with the couple of reactions I’ve got when I’ve been dismissed, that’s all. I’d rather [someone] try and tear shreds off me and then give it to me. But I feel like the lead up is out of nowhere,” he added.
