The incident occurred when Siraj dismissed Head and approached him, pointing towards the direction of Australia's dressing room. Head stated that he had simply said "well bowled" and was surprised and disappointed by Siraj's reaction, while Siraj refuted Head's claim and asserted that Head had abused him.
