Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj have been found guilty of breaching cricket’s code of conduct during the second Border-Gavaskar Test in Adelaide.

The pair were at the centre of an ugly send-off after hometown hero Head belted a blistering century to earn player of the match honours and lead Australia to a series-levelling victory.

Head and Siraj are understood to have faced a hearing on Sunday night in front of cricket’s most experienced match referee, Ranjun Madugalle.

An official announcement is expected later today, but considering the pair’s clean record, a suspension is unlikely, with a severe reprimand and fines the most likely outcome.

Siraj took the wicket of the Adelaide Oval centurion with a searing in-swinging yorker that crashed into the stumps, ending Head’s phenomenal match-turning knock at 140 from 141.

The Indian quick was fired up after the wicket, reacting angrily when Head replied with “well bowled, mate”, responding with indistinguishable words and gesturing towards the dugout.

Head confirmed his words in a press conference post-play; however, Siraj stated the following day Head had lied and claimed he’d actually “abused” him after getting out.

The send-off left Siraj as public enemy No.1 for the parochial South Australian fans who booed the star and used chants of “you are a w******”.

However, the Indian quick found an unlikely ally in injured Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood who said Siraj had “good character”.

“I really enjoyed my time at RCB with him,” Hazlewood said.

“He’s probably the leader of the attack there, to a degree. He’s another one who’s a bit like Virat (Kohli), very passionate, goes with the flow of the game, gets the crowd up.

“(He has) bowled serious spells in the IPL in the last few years. He’s just a good character and it’s good to see sometimes.”

More to come.
