There was an argument between Siraj and Head in the second match Before this match, there was an argument between Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj and Australian batsman Travis Head during Australia’s first innings of the second match. Head hit a six in Siraj’s over, then Siraj bowled him on the very next ball. After this the head said something after which Siraj also said a few words and gave him send off (indication to go out). Then the head said something to Siraj while leaving. After the over, Siraj also had to face booing from the Australian audience. ICC gave 1-1 demerit point to both the players. Siraj was also fined 20% of the match fee.

Monkeygate case happened during the 2008 series There was a clash between Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds during the Indian team’s tour of Australia in 2007-08. Even then the ground was of Sydney only. Symonds alleged that Bhajji called him a monkey. This incident is called ‘Monkeygate’. Symonds was batting in the Sydney Test. He was having an altercation with Harbhajan Singh. During this, there was a war of words between the two. Symonds later alleged that Bhajji called him a monkey.

According to ICC rules, this was a racial comment. Then the entire series was in danger. The hearing took place in front of the match referee. Harbhajan got clean chit. Despite this, this issue is still raised occasionally.
