After being removed by Usman Tariq in the second Twenty20 International against Pakistan, Australian batsman Cameron Green made a chucking motion with his hands as he left the field. The batter approached the Australian dugout and imitated Tariq's bowling action once more, seemingly dissatisfied.

After the Australian all-rounder seemed to challenge Usman Tariq's bowling motion during the play at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday, his dismissal in the second Twenty20 International between Pakistan and Australia created controversy.

As usual, Pakistan's Usman stopped in his delivery stride on the second-to-last ball of the Australian innings' eleventh over when Green chose a reckless hoick. Given the bowler's wind-up and release time delay, the Australian did not time it well, and the ball flew directly to Shadab Khan at point.

A number of players have expressed their concerns about Usman Tariq's bowling action, making it a major topic of discussion. The conversation was only heightened by Cameron Green's recent assertion during the second Twenty20 International. Tom Banton had previously accused Tariq of chucking, and as a result, he was banned from the Pakistan Super League.

He still plays international cricket, though, which raises questions about why the ICC hasn't implemented more stringent regulations. In order to maintain fairness and the integrity of the game, fans and experts are now demanding a thorough analysis of Tariq's bowling action.

In an apparent reference to Green's dummy spit after missing a delivery from Tariq, whose bowling technique has drawn a lot of criticism throughout his career, Tariq posted a video of a distressed youngster on Instagram on Sunday. "After getting out" was the caption for his post, along with a laughing emoji.

With one game remaining in the T20 series, Pakistan defeated Australia by 90 runs thanks to the efforts of their spinners. Despite fielding a stronger team after losing the first game of the three-match series by 19 runs, Australia was bowled out for 108 in 15.4 overs, with leg-spinners Shadab Khan (3-26) and Abrar Ahmed (3-14) sharing most of the wickets.
