'Don't think you can repeat that': Mohammed Siraj's send off infuriates Travis Head and Adelaide Oval

At the other end, the boos and jeers began to start for Siraj, who still had to finish his over with ball in hand.
Head opened up on the exchange after the end of day two's proceedings, taking a swipe at India's antics.
"I said 'well bowled', but he thought otherwise when he pointed me to the sheds," Head said on Fox.
"He got a little bite back from me.
