Pat Cummins Breaks Silence On Travis Head-Mohammed Siraj Row, Gives Massive 'Big Boy' Verdict

Pat Cummins felt his intervention was not required in the Travis Head-Mohammed Siraj send-off row since the Australia vice captain is a "big boy" who can talk for himself as the skipper hailed his team's behaviour in the ongoing series against India. Head smashed a match-winning 140 from 141 balls in the pink ball Test as Australia bounced back from the humiliating defeat at Perth to win by 10 wickets and level the five-match series one-all. After Head was cleaned up by Siraj, the two were seen exchanging words as the batter later suggested he had only said "well bowled". Following Head's claim that Siraj's send-off was uncalled for, and that he had only praised the India pacer's delivery after being bowled, Siraj swiftly denied the accusation, calling it a "lie".
