Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj embraced and Australia triumphed, but history shows there will be more twists to come.
No longer in direct combat as striker and fast bowler, Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj spoke with each other jovially enough as short leg and number 11 during the brutally rapid finish to the Adelaide Test.There is, as both players commented in the past 24 hours, plenty of respect between these teams, forged not only through direct contests, but also over the build-up of multiple relationships as teammates on the Twenty20 circuit.
“Last week, we lost a Test match and we were apparently the worst Test team ever,” Marnus Labuschagne declared. “This week, we finish on day three with the series at 1-1.” In Perth he was targeted with lavish wicket celebrations by Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli, who carried on with a celebratory tirade in Head’s direction as he trudged off the field in the second innings. Kohli and Head were later captured in lengthy dialogue at the end of the game, as the Australian asked his friend and former IPL teammate what all the aggro had been about.
“Siraj knows what he needs to do for the team, and he will do everything required – leaving the external factors aside, his job is to take wickets and he will do everything he can,” captain Rohit Sharma said. “ things that happen outside, guys are now mature enough to keep those outside.”That was just one of several other themes that will develop over the next three games. India have issues, as well, around Rohit.
