Siraj has been in headlines for his send-off clash with Travis Head after dismissing him for 140 in Adelaide. Clarke\u2019s comments point towards the instance of Siraj 'celebrappeal' for an lbw against Marnus Labuschagne without looking at the umpire, only for replays to show a big inside edge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"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\u2019re out. I\u2019m surprised the ICC haven't fined him because I remember when I was playing, you get fined every time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Brett Lee was the worst at it and they told him, 'If you don\u2019t turn around and ask the umpire, you\u2019re going to be fined\u2019. I\u2019m more worried about that from Siraj than him and Travis Head. Siraj did it in the first Test as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"You\u2019re OK to appeal for anything you want, but you\u2019ve got to turn around and ask the umpire. I\u2019m actually surprised he hasn\u2019t been fined. Him giving Travis Head a send-off as well, made a fool of him. The guy just made 140; give someone a send-off that makes five, not 140,\" said Clarke on the Big Sports Breakfast show on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former Australia fast-bowler Stuart Clark agreed with Clarke\u2019s views, saying this habit of Siraj is a bigger issue than his exchange of words with Head. \"That, I think, is far worse than what happened in the (Head) incident. And that came up and got discussed numerous times, that you can\u2019t do that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The umpires are quite clear, and so are the rules, that you have to turn around and show respect to be asking the umpire whether it\u2019s out. It didn\u2019t look great, he ran down the wicket, carried on, \u2018that\u2019s out\u2019 \u2026 then when they showed the replay, he\u2019d inside-edged it on to his pad. If I was a match referee or an official, I\u2019d be sort of saying, \u2018Mate, that\u2019s got to stop, because that doesn\u2019t look great and that puts so much pressure on the umpire, in an inappropriate way',\" said Clarke.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With various reports in Australian media saying Head and Siraj will face ICC sanctions for breaching the code of conduct, Clarke stated he had no major problem with the clash between the duo, though he feels the incident has made Siraj the villain in the eyes of Australian public for the rest of the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the clash with Head, Siraj had been subjected to boos from the Adelaide Oval crowd whenever he came to bowl or bat in the pink-ball Test. \"I hope it\u2019s play on. They will get a naughty-boy smack on the wrist, we all hope. I'm sure they\u2019ll get a fine, which they\u2019ll probably pay with the pocket change that they\u2019ve got, and then I hope it gets on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It didn't look great... but there was a lot of confusion about what was said. Mohammed Siraj thought one thing, waves his arms, Travis Head was saying one thing. To be fair, in the ground, it added to the theatre of the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
