It was Siraj who nailed the yorker and that got past Head’s defense to crash onto the stumps. After which, a furious Siraj gave a sent off to which Head replied with a few words. But all said and done, it has been an incredible knock from the local lad and he walks off to a thunderous applause from the Adelaide crowd on Saturday. Head perished for a belligerent 140 off 141 balls. His innings was laced with 17 fours and four sixes. He took on the Indian bowlers and hit them to all parts putting Australia in a dominating position in the second Test.
