"I Could Lip-Read": Matthew Hayden's Verdict On Mohammed Siraj-Travis Head Row

Two versions of the same episode, as India's Mohammed Siraj passionately stood his stance on the altercation he had with Australia's Travis Head on Day 2 of the Adelaide Test. Head claimed that he said 'well bowled' to Siraj after being bowled but the India pacer suggested that no such comment was made from the Australian. Matthew Hayden, one of the greatest Australian batters to play the game, has now shared his opinion on the matter, saying he was able to do lip-reading during the Siraj vs Head altercation.

Mohammed Siraj "Going To Get A Bit Of Spit..." - Sunil Gavaskar On India Pacer's Face-Off With Travis Head

The face-off between Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head continues to remain the topic of discussion. A verbal exchange between Siraj and Head took place on Day 2 of the India vs Australia Adelaide Test. Siraj was hit for a six by Head but the Indian pacer bounced back and bowled out the batter on the very next ball. A fiery Siraj followed the wicket with an animated celebration and Head was clearly not happy with it. The Australian batter exchanged a few words with Siraj and that all ended on a poor note.

MS Dhoni Surpasses Amitabh Bachchan And SRK To Top List Of Endorsements With Record Numbers

Despite retiring from international cricket four years ago, MS Dhoni continues to be the cynosure of all eyes. Not seen in ground much nowadays, he is only active in the Indian Premier League as a player. Dhoni plays for Chennai Super Kings and he has been retained by the franchise for Rs 4 crore ahead of IPL 2025. The lack of presence on the ground has not made any negative impact on the player's market value though. In fact, Dhoni's value off the ground has only increased in the first half of 2024.

Temba Bavuma Praises Team Effort After South Africa Seal Series Win

South African captain Temba Bavuma said his team's 109-run win in the second Test against Sri Lanka at St George's Park on Monday was a big step forward for a largely inexperienced group of players. "For a lot of the guys it was a proper taste of what Test cricket is about," said Bavuma of a hard-fought match which went into the fifth day. "It's rare when you get to play for five days and it's also rare when the game is always in the balance. There were times when we were on top and times when Sri Lanka were getting the momentum on their side."

"Lamb To The Slaughterhouse...": Rohit Sharma Receives Brutal 'Confidence' Warning

Former pacer Dodda Ganesh has strongly cautioned the Indian team management against the idea of captain Rohit Sharma opening the batting in the crucial third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Gabba, labelling it a risky proposition given Rohit's current form and the challenging conditions in Brisbane. Ganesh's warning comes amid growing debate over India's batting order following their struggles in the first two Tests of the series. India were bowled out for 150 in their first innings of the opening Test at Perth and then for 180 in Adelaide. Though they recovered to win the Perth Test by 295 runs thanks to centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, there were not such heroics in Adelaide and the visitors slumped to an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat within three days.
