Aussie Test great Michael Clarke reveals the repeated act by fiery Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj that should get him ‘fined every time’

Indian Test villain Mohammed Siraj made himself public enemy No. 1 last week after a heated clash with Travis Head – but he should be fined for another act, according to an Australian cricket great.

Siraj dismissed Australian century maker Head in the second Test in Adelaide on Saturday and could face sanctions from the International Cricket Council.

But the Indian quick has also made a habit of doing ‘celebrations’ – celebrating wickets without turning around to ask the umpire – which could land him in hot water.

Former Aussie skipper Michael Clarke says he is surprised Siraj has not yet been punished for this act.

“Siraj should be fined for continuing to argue for LBWs and not asking the referee,” Clarke said. Large sports breakfast.

“He hits the batter on the pads and runs down like they’re out. I’m surprised the ICC didn’t impose a fine because I remember when I was playing you got fined every time.

“Brett Lee was the worst at it and they told him, ‘If you don’t turn around and ask the referee, you’re going to get a fine.’

‘I’m more worried about Siraj than him and Travis Head.

‘Siraj also did it in the first Test. You can appeal for anything, but you have to turn around and ask the referee.

‘I’m actually surprised he hasn’t been fined. The fact that he also gives Travis Head a suicide note fools him even more. The man just made 140; give someone a farewell that earns five, not 140.’

Ex-Aussie fast bowler Stuart Clark agreed with Clarke.

“That, I think, is much worse than what happened in the (main) incident,” he said.

“And that came up and was discussed countless times: You can’t do that. The referees are very clear, and so are the rules, that you must turn around and show respect when asking the referee if it’s out.

‘It didn’t look great, he ran down the wicket, went on, ‘that’s out’… and when they showed the replay he had put it face down on his notepad.

“If I was a match referee or official, I would say, ‘Mate, that has to stop because it doesn’t look good and it puts so much pressure on the referee, in an inappropriate way.’ ‘

Meanwhile, Siraj has since accused Travis Head of lying and abusing him during their heated clash during the second Test.

Before Sunday’s performance in Adelaide, Siraj gave his view on the incident with Head to the Indian broadcaster Star Sports.

In the interview, conducted in Hindi, Siraj said Head had lied.

“After I threw him out, I celebrated and he abused me,” Siraj said in a comment translated into English by the India Today website.

‘You also see it on TV.

‘At first it was my party, I didn’t say anything to him.

‘During the press conference he said something wrong. He lied.

‘He definitely didn’t say ‘well bowled’.

‘We respect everyone. I always respect everyone because cricket is a gentleman’s game.

“Travis Head’s actions were wrong. I didn’t feel well.’
