“Siraj should be fined for keeping on appealing for LBWs and not asking the umpire. He hits the batter on the pads and just runs down like they’re out. I’m surprised the ICC haven’t fined him because I remember when I was playing, you get fined every time. “Brett Lee was the worst at it and they told him, ‘If you don’t turn around and ask the umpire, you’re going to be fined’,” said Clarke on the Big Sports Breakfast show on Monday.
