Cricket fans blast Travis Head for his VERY rude celebration in Boxing Day Test: 'Kids are watching'
Share:
Some cricket fans have called for Travis Head to be fined or even banned after the Aussie star performed a seemingly vulgar celebration when he took a crucial scalp on the last day of play in the Boxing Day Test. The match seemed to be headed for a draw with India sitting at 3/121 when the batter got Rishabh Pant to sky a ball to Mitch Marsh in the outfield - then appeared to simulate sex by repeatedly shoving his index finger through a circle he made with the thumb and forefinger of his other hand.

It didn't take long for outraged fans to lash out at Head on social media. 'That's a nasty celebration ... where is the fine?' one asked. 'What's this celebration? Isn't it obscene and vulgar for the gentleman's game?' another added.

Some fans were outraged when Head appeared to simulate sex as his wicked provided yet another twist in a drama-packed Boxing Day Test. Other comments included, 'WTH he should be fined for this celebration', 'It's utter disrespect', 'Cricket is a game of gentlemen... not some hooligans' and 'Ban Travis Head from all ICC knockout matches. Kids are watching'.

However, some fans thought there was an innocent explanation, with one writing: 'Saying it was like a golf shot that got a hole in one?'. Pant's wicket started a mini collapse for India, who then lost Ravindra Deja when he was caught by Alex Carey off a Scott Bowland delivery before Nitish Kumar Reddy nicked one to Steve Smith at slip courtesy of a Nathan Lyon delivery.
