‘I didn’t know 4000 people knew me so well’: Travis Head about the hostile English crowd in the first Test

 At one point in England’s second innings, even before the rest of his team-mates took their spots on the field, Travis Head was seen running to his position, in the front of the famous Hollies enclosure, the home of the noisy barracking parochial English fans.

After an in-person hearing with her, the court said if permission was granted, she would make other applications, including ones to continue treatment and visit the doctor.
