Travis Head Said 'Well Bowled': Matthew Hayden
While on commentary during Day 3 of the India vs Australia 2nd Test, Matthew Hayden claimed that he could lip-read Travis Head when he said 'well-bowled' to Mohammed Siraj after he got him out to a yorker. However, Siraj misinterpreted it and hurled some abuses at Head after getting him out.
"He said 'well bowled'. I could lip-read. But I suppose, in the heat of the battle there is going always going to be misinterpretation. But the point is my opinion, all is fair in love and war when it comes to the actual removal of the batter," Hayden said.
What Happened Between Mohammed Siraj And Travis Head?
