Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head found guilty of breaching code of conduct in fiery incident

Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head have been found guilty of breaching the ICC code of conduct after the pair were involved in a heated exchange during the second Test at Adelaide.

The two came face to face when Head was dismissed by the Indian seamer after making 140 from 141 deliveries.

Siraj celebrated and gave Head an old-fashioned send-off and the Aussie hit back with a couple of expletives on his way to the pavilion.

Speaking to media after the close of play, Head said he told Siraj, "Well bowled" after the ball that ended his innings before the subsequent reaction.

However, in an interview with Indian TV channel Star Sports, it was a different series of events from Siraj's perspective.

"My celebration after bowling him – I was just celebrating, but his abusive reaction can be seen on television," he told the broadcaster, in Hindi.

"If you see, at the start I didn't say a word – I was just celebrating only initially.

"Later, at the press conference, he said wrong things – he claimed he said 'well bowled' to me. But that's a lie. There was no 'well bowled' that I could see. And he talked about respect. I mean, we respect everyone. We don't disrespect.

"I always have respected people as cricket is a gentleman's game. But what he did wasn't right. I didn't like it at all."

Siraj was fined 20 per cent of his match fee for his breach, which relates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal".

The Indian bowler was also hit with one demerit point on his disciplinary record.

Head was reprimanded for "abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee during an international match" and also had a demerit point added to his disciplinary record.

If a player receives four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned. Two suspension points can equate to a ban from one Test, two ODIs or two T20Is. Both Siraj and Head have been hit with their first offences in a 24-month period.

The pair met in the middle and exchanged some words on Sunday as the hosts clinched a 10-wicket victory and Head said there was no ill feelings between them.

"He just said it was a misunderstanding as well, and there was no issues for me," he told ABC. We move on. I'm sweet. It is what it is."
