India tour of Australia: Border-Gavaskar Trophy second Test day night test in adelaide: Travis Head press conference on December 7, 2024”

The Hindu  

A glorious century marred by the manner of departure, was the theme when Travis Head squared upto the media here at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday night. The southpaw’s 140 set Australia on a pedestal in the second Test, but talk centred around Mohammed Siraj’s send-off to the batter after castling him. “I was surprised at the reaction in terms of the situation of the game and the lead up, and there was no confrontation leading up to it, and I felt like it was probably a bit far at the time, and that’s why I am disappointed in the reaction that I gave back, but I’m also going to stand up for myself. We are pretty civil with each other as teams and that is why it was disappointing to see a couple of reactions after I was out,” Head said.
