Listen to the interview that got Australia coach Darren Lehmann in hot water as he brands England's Stuart Broad a cheat
Australia coach Darren Lehmann caused a major stir this week when he appeared on Australian radio and promptly lauched into a damning attack on England's Stuart Broad.
Bringing up Broad's failure to walk in the first Test at Trent Bridge, Lehmann branded the England all-rounder's conduct "blatant cheating" and then called for Australian crowds to get on his back in the follow-up series later this winter.
"I hope the Australian public are the same because that was just blatant cheating," Lehmann told Triple M radio. "I don't advocate walking, but when you hit it to first slip it's pretty hard.
"From my point of view I just hope the Australian public give it to him right from the word go for the whole summer and I hope he cries and he goes home."
Whether made in jest or not, it was an astonishing outburst and landed the Australia supremo a hefty fine from the ICC.
