WTC Final | Twitter trolls frustrated Mohammed Siraj for faking aggression against unflappable Steve Smith

Resuming Day 2 on 327/3 against India in the World Test Championship final, Steve Smith got Australia off to a rollicking start at The Oval. The 34-year-old, easily the greatest Test batsman of this generation, hit two back-to-back fours in the opening over of the day, bowled by Mohammed Siraj, to notch up his 31st hundred in the format. Unsurprisingly, the way he and Travis Head batted on Day 1, and the manner in which they began the next day, frustrated Indian players after they asked them to bat first. 

Among the Indians, while others still managed to control their emotions, Mohammed Siraj failed to do the same. After conceding two successive boundaries against Smith, Siraj was on the verge of sending down the next delivery but Smith backed away from the crease due to Spider Cam's concerns. It was too close to Smith while batting, and thus, the Aussie was not ready to play. However, Siraj was not too happy about the situation, and hence, he threw the ball toward the wicket, albeit well away from Smith. The ace batter tried to tell him why he moved away, but Siraj was not in the right state of mind to understand the concern.

The netizens, meanwhile, believed it was a fake aggression by Siraj, who conceded 83 runs off 22 overs and got only one wicket. Smith, on the other end, remained unmoved at the crease despite sledging from the opposition.

THis kinda sledging doesn't work!

It looks so funny!

Hahahaha! Lol :D

No fire, nothing!

He's thinking something else but looks so small!

Someone tell him it is not how it works!
