'Australians should get back to being mongrels': Gavaskar hits out at crowd's hypocrisy, sides with Siraj's aggression
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is proving to be one hell of a spectacle and the five-match series between Australia and India is living up to everyone's expectations. After dismissing Travis Head in the first innings, Mohammed Siraj gave a fiery send-off to the Australian batter, much to the displeasure of the Adelaide crowd. No wonder Mohammed Siraj, who was flicked nonchalantly for a six the ball before, was pumped up when he knocked over the local hero’s stumps," Sunil Gavaskar wrote in a column for Sydney Morning Herald. It may have incensed Australian fans that Siraj’s fiery send-off was directed at Head, who scored a magnificent century and was also the local boy," wrote Gavaskar. Expressing surprise with the reaction of Siraj after sending Travis Head back to the hut, Gavaskar wrote, "Siraj’s outburst was surprising because if the Indian Premier League has done one thing, apart from making Aussie cricketers and coaches millionaires, it has also taken away to a huge extent the animosity that previously existed in the game."
