Mohammed Siraj later clarified Head was lying in the press conference and never said, “Well bowled”.
Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj were involved in another short conversation on the third day of the Adelaide Test when Siraj came to bat. While the conversation wasn’t clear, the two probably tried clarifying what transpired yesterday and what the two said in the press conference later after the game.
Head stated he appreciated Siraj for bowling a wonderful ball to dismiss him, but Siraj misbehaved. However, on Star Sports, Mohammed Siraj later clarified Head was lying in the press conference and never said, “Well bowled”.
“I was enjoying bowling to him. It was a good battle because he batted really well. When a batter hits you for a six on a good ball, it feels bad. That gave me an energy. After bowling him out, I celebrated. Then he abused me. You can see it on TV as well. At the start, it was my celebration. I didn’t say anything to him. In the press conference, he said the wrong thing. He lied. Noway he said well-bowled. We respect everyone. I always respect everyone because cricket is a gentleman’s game. Travis Head’s actions were wrong. I did not feel good.”
