Darren Lehmann goes off his nut over ING final
A rabid Darren Lehmann has lashed out at just about everyone after losing the ING Cup final against NSW. The South Australian captain criticised Cricket Australia for scheduling the game at 9:30am. He then went on to bag sponsor ING, thanking God that the competition was changing sponsors. I'm not sure what ING did wrong but whatever it was, Boof was not pleased. Neither are the powers that be who have cited Lehmann for his "unbecoming behaviour and detrimental public comment".
He then went on to blame God for his dismissal, with the sun breaking heavy cloud cover only after he was dismissed. The Australian selectors were also in the firing line, waiting till after the final before flying NSW opener Phil Jaques to South Africa. Lastly, he blamed Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds for not getting injured earlier in the South African tour. Allan Border must be very proud to see his legacy of Captain Grumpy still lives on.
