[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Mohammed Siraj's onfield behaviour issues

Michael Clarke said while speaking on a show for a sports media outlet:

"Siraj should be fined for keeping on appealing for lbws and not asking the umpire. He hits the batter on the pads and just runs down like they're out."

"I'm surprised the ICC haven't fined him because I remember when I was playing, you get fined every time. I'm more worried about that from Siraj than him and Travis Head. You're OK to appeal for anything you want, but you've got to turn around and ask the umpire."
 
Mohammed Siraj & Travis Head found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct

India bowler Mohammed Siraj and Australia batter Travis Head have been found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct in their recently concluded second Test match in Adelaide.

Siraj has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee after being found to have breached article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal.”

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Siraj’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 82nd over when, upon dismissing the batter (Travis Head), Siraj came within close proximity to him and gave him a send-off by pointing towards the direction of Australia’s dressing room.

Head was reprimanded after he was was found to have breached Article 2.13 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to the “abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee during an international match.”

One demerit point has been added to Head’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident took place when, on being dismissed by Siraj, Head reacted to a send-off in an aggressive and inappropriate manner.

Siraj and Head admitted their respective offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Richard Illingworth, third umpire Richard Kettleborough and fourth umpire, Phillip Gillespie levelled the charges.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.

Why was Travis head fined as well? Corrupt icc. Only siraj deserved a fine × ban
 
followed said:
Siraj is a clown in general and he averages 31 in test cricket.

He is a harmless trundler and he was getting phainty from Travis head. He shouldn't have reacted that way.

But australians are crying unnecessarily this is not an issue.It happens but siraj's ego needed to be checked.
He is an average bowler but he has ego like he is 2nd coming of Malcolm Marshall.

He has forgotten his humble background. He needs to stay grounded and work hard.
Click to expand...
He is off the field very humble. Pretty much anyone can attest to that. On the field he shows aggression towards even indian players in the IPL. There is no limit to how much one bowler has to average before sledging. Sledging is mostly to rile up the ego of batsmen to induce false shots. Keepers do it all the time. Far more than the bowlers. This one incident is probbaly because he was the one dropped Head when he was in his 70s. Every run scored after that must have been dagger to the heart. Probably the expression was a result of that frustration. Wish we have a captain that shows half the aggression of Siraj.
 
Harbhajan Singh back to support Siraj:

"Well, I think the ICC is a bit too strict on players. These things happen on the ground. The players have patched up and talked to each other. Anyways, ICC being ICC has sanctioned the players,"

"Let's focus on cricket rather than all these controversies. Enough is enough,"
 
Mark Taylor feels that Siraj needs to be talked about his tendency:

“I didn’t like the send-off from Mohammed Siraj. My biggest concern with Mohammed is this desire to assume that umpires are going to give dismissals,"

“I don’t like him running down the pitch when he hits a guy on the pads, going past the batsman, assuming he’s going to be given out, without showing respect to the umpire and the game to at least have a look at the decision. I think Mohammed … someone needs to have a chat with him about that,"
 
Ponting weighs in on Head-Siraj incident in Adelaide

The Australian great provides his take on the incident during the second Test that saw Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj sanctioned by the ICC.

Australia legend Ricky Ponting believes the incident between Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj during the recent Border-Gavaskar Test in Adelaide was all down to a “misinterpretation”.

The incident took place in the 82nd over of Australia’s first innings, when Siraj castled Head, on 140, with a crushing yorker.

The left-hand batter had faced 140 deliveries prior to that, including taking on the pacer for a stylish six over deep square-leg the previous delivery.

However, after the dismissal, Siraj exchanged words with the Australian No.5, prompting Head to retaliate before walking off to a standing ovation from the crowd.

Siraj was then subjected to boos from a passionate Adelaide crowd, jumping to the defence of their local hero.

In the press conference later that day, Head revealed Siraj was responding to his comment saying, ‘Well bowled’.

Both players had one demerit point added to their disciplinary code for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct, with the Indian pacer also copping a 20 percent penalty on his match fee.

On the most recent episode of The ICC Review, Ponting offered a measured perspective on the drama when speaking with host Sanjana Ganesan.

“Looking back at it now, I think it was accidental the way that whole thing played out,” Ponting said. "I don't think there was any malice meant at the start.

“Then the way it started and almost like the misinterpretation of what had actually gone on, I think led to how it ended.”

While Siraj's reaction was swift and fiery, Ponting believes it was an expected response from a fast bowler under pressure, who had taken only one wicket at that point.

“I know Travis has gone and said that he said ‘well bowled’ at the start,” Ponting said. “Siraj obviously wasn't happy about being hit over the deep backward square for six the ball before.

“Rohit (Sharma) I'm sure would expect these fast bowlers to react like that. When they're under the pressure and they're getting hit and then they've just got a wicket you'd expect that they'd be up and about.”

However, when Siraj exchanged words back with Head following the dismissal, Ponting was worried for the bowler. “Look, it wasn't that big a deal,” he said.

“I was in comms (commentary box) at the time. As soon as I saw the send-off, I actually got worried for Siraj. I know how the umpires react to those things. Umpires and referees don't like seeing the send-off, pointed in the direction of the dressing room.”

Siraj and Head quickly reconciled, with the duo seen talking through the incident when Siraj came out to bat during India’s second innings. During the post-match handshakes, the duo also shared an embrace.

Ponting was all praise for the duo for the swift manner in which they brought the matter to a close.

“Both players have now had their say on what they thought happened,” Ponting said.

“It was great to see them actually chatting. When Siraj came out to bat and Travis was at short leg, they were actually clarifying what had happened out there.

“They were talking amongst themselves as to what had actually happened.”

The third Test in Brisbane begins on Saturday, 14 December.

Former India head coach, Ravi Shastri speaking during an interview:

"I wouldn't have expected anything else from a fast bowler after he'd been hit for a six. Siraj was letting off some steam. That's the fast bowler's temperament. You want it to be like that. When I was playing, my philosophy was to give it back as good as you get. And it's exactly what I would tell my players when I was coaching India in Australia. Do not hold back one bit,"

"Do not take even one backward step. It then became the team's philosophy and everyone from Virat Kohli to Rishabh Pant and every member of the squad was prepared to give it back to the Aussies."
 
Infamous 'Beer Snake' Spectator Reveals He Spent INR 2.33 Lakh; Apologises For Incident

Mohammad Siraj was most definitely in high spirits during the pink-ball Test, as he was involved in multiple high-tension moments, one of which resulted in a fine from the ICC and another that was a highlight reel for the ages.

Before his confrontation with Travis Head, Siraj shared a heated moment with Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne, when a spectator carried a beer snake and crossed the sight-screen, which disrupted the batter’s concentration. After Labuschagne pulled out, it did not make Siraj happy by any means. Siraj lost his composure and threw the ball just wide of the stumps. He also followed up with some verbal volleys at Labuschagne.

The Australian in question, Lachie Burtt, though explained his stance on the matter, stating that it was never his intention to halt play momentarily and apologized for the inconvenience.

“In my head at that time, I just wanted to get away from the guard, so I saw the space and hopped over the tiny white rope," Burtt told 9News.

This is not new for Indian cricketer touring Australia. One reason India is not intimidated by Australia in AUstralia. Look at how 19 year old Ishant sledging Ponting. He didn't have good grasp of English back then.

 
Mohammed Siraj faced heavy booing from the crowd at The Gabba in Brisbane during the first day of the third Test against Australia on December 14, 2024.

The crowd's reaction was due to a previous controversy involving Siraj and Travis Head during the second Test in Adelaide. Both players were fined by the ICC, with Siraj receiving a 20% match fee deduction.

They are at it against seems.
This is why all the aggression against Aussies is fair game.
 
Siraj has bowled 15 overs without taking a wicket, conceding 58 runs, and displaying worthless aggression, including changing the bails.

LOL
 
Remember when Rohit Sharma called Amir "an average bowler"?

I think that applies to Siraj. He's just an average bowler.

If you act like a clown under the pre-text of being "aggressive" in Australia then you should be prepared to deal with the blowback. In the past, Kohli has gotten heat from the crowd in Australia too. But that hasn't stopped him from scoring a mountain of runs.

Former England cricketer, Mark Nicholas speaking during commentary:

“There is a bit of civil war on the field as Siraj's enthusiasm gets the better of him. He flung the ball so hard that it could have gone for four byes, but Jadeja gave him a right look. He must have said, ‘You almost broke my finger, pal. Take it easy'.”

Aggression is ok but Siraj should remember his background, heritage and upbringing and not stoop too far this level.

Bit of an agenda post. Duckett walked into Siraj, not the other way around. And it was this very angle used by Nasser Hussain on air to make this fact known. Siraj did exult which is perfectly fine especially given he'd been scooped couple balls earlier. But it was Ben who changed his direction so he could walk at an angle into Siraj. You can even see Washington immediately grab Siraj away so it doesn't go any further
 
And looks like, most people know this which is why this thread hasn't blown up with anti-Indian, spoilt Indians, IPL-moneyed Indians stuff :ROFLMAO:
 
This guy was paying tribute to Diogo Jota on the pitch for the cameras and was hoping to be featured on Liverpool’s social media handles, but it seems like his strategy didn’t work and no one in the football world has acknowledge the existence of this ordinary cricket player.
 
Watched it back again and captured a frame where Siraj has actually started to move his shoulder away to avoid Ben who is deliberately coming in for a shoulder barge. If anything, this thread should be questioning why Ben hasn't been fined yetdel.png

Behavior issue is not just with Siraj; it is an Indian countrywide problem. They just don't know how to behave.

Even on this forum, how many Indian posters behave politely? Very few. :inti

It has become a cultural problem for India.

How can you be so sure he was doing it for the cameras and whatever other assumptions you've drawn. Siraj is known to be a football fan. Maybe he was genuinely upset about the death. The odds are in favour of this than your assumptions.

Behaviour was not such an issue before BCCI became so rich though.
 
I think cricket needs to introduce a red card system. If any player makes physical contact deliberately (like Kohli with Konstas or Siraj with Duckett), he should be banned from that match. Team should play with 10 players in that case.

If this rule gets implemented, we may see more civility in cricket. :inti

India bowler fined after Lord's incident on Day 4

India's ace pacer has been penalised following an aggressive reaction to a wicket on Day 4.
Mohammed Siraj has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee after a breach in the ICC Code of Conduct during India's Test match against England at Lord's.

Siraj was guilty of breaching Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.”

After the dismissal, Siraj celebrated close to the batter in his follow-through and made contact as Duckett began his walk back to the Lord’s long room.

In addition to the fine, one demerit point has been added to Siraj's disciplinary record, for whom it was the second offence in a 24-month period, taking his tally to two demerit points.

When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned.

The moment was one of several fiery moments in a Test match likely to go down to the wire on day five.

India need just a further 135 runs for victory, though sit precariously at 58/4, up against an imposing bowling attack, a difficult day five Lord's surface and a boisterous London crowd ready to push their side on.

Said it during the match thread that if it's okay for bowlers to give batsmen send offs, then shouldn't batsmen be able to get into a bowler's face when they reach 50 or 100 ?

It's ridiculous. You take the wicket, go to your teammates.

India argue they were meek and passive in the past so this aggression is welcome. I'd argue they've now overcorrected too far in the other direction from shouting into the stump mic in South Africa in 2021, the shoulder barging and abusing of Sam Konstas in Australia; this from Siraj and there's probably other incidents. They've become a very unlikeable team.

I love a bit of spice and needle don't get me wrong but not this kind of witless and crass behaviour.

The shoulder barging to Konstas was criminal. It was a physical assault. Should've resulted in a criminal record. :inti
