Mohammed Siraj was under the scanner for his throw at the stumps in anger on day one of the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, and the Indian pacer might have irked the match referee even more on Saturday with his no-look appeal for an lbw against Marnus Labuschagne.
Australia resumed their innings at 86 for 1 on day two of the second Test, with Siraj resuming for India alongside Jasprit Bumrah.
In the third over of the day, Siraj hit a good length to have Labuschagne, batting on 23, in two minds and half forward in defence, as the ball took an inside-edge onto the Australian batter's pads. But Siraj, with his hands spread wide, started celebrating without even appealing to the umpire and looked back only after he had crossed the batter.
Umpire Richard Illingworth shook his head, and skipper Rohit Sharma too was sure of the batter nicking the ball before it hit his pads, opting not to ask for the review.
The replays confirmed the inside-edge. But it might have done a little more damage for Siraj as it is not the first time that he broke into that no-look celebration and was involved in another incident on the first day of the match.
Bowling the 10th over of his spell on Friday late in the evening, Siraj had to pull up just before delivering as Labuschagne moved away from the stumps spotting a spectator walking across the sight screen while carrying a 'beer snake'. Not happy, a frustrated Siraj threw the ball towards the stumps in anger.
The act of throwing the ball near the batter is against ICC's Code of Conduct, and Siraj could be penalised at the conclusion of the Adelaide Test.
