C***s c***s f***ing black c***s' Lehmann was heard shouting as he returned to his dressing room after being run out

C***s c***s f***ing black c***s' Lehmann was heard shouting as he returned to his dressing room after being run out

And these are the words that convinced Cricket Australia investigators that the former left-handed batsman had no prior knowledge of the ball-tampering ploy that eventually resulted in lengthy bans for Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.

While Lehmann believes the public still loves Smith, anger among the cricketing community and Australian fans would say otherwise.

Warner's mixed relationship with the team and CA has endured for some years, after his "rehabilitation" in the wake of the Joe Root saga in 2013. Lehmann's influence will be examined but at this stage he enjoys the full support of Sutherland.

A press conference is expected that evening when sanctions against Smith, his vice-captain David Warner and Cameron Bancroft are likely to be announced. However, Lehmann avoided a question over whether he was responsible, as many pundits have suggested, for the "in-your-face" style of the Australian team.

The former Test batsman was uncharacteristically emotional when he addressed journalists on Wednesday in Johannesburg, reading a prepared statement then struggling to remain composed while detailing concerns for a shamed trio "going through a really rough time".

Following CA's ban, both Smith and Warner were also banned by the Indian Premier League for the upcoming edition of the Twenty20 cash-rich franchise-based meet in India. Previously we butted heads but that's not the way to play going forward. "Hopefully he can arrive at those decisions and I would expect, given his passion for the game, we will see him back playing again but definitely not in a leadership role". "I need to change". I hope people will give them a second chance.

"Darren Lehmann has not offered to resign as far as I'm aware".

The rally comes in the wake of the February 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The tragic six minutes, 20 seconds of the whole rampage recollection was hard to hear, but it was needed.

Sutherland expressed the same sentiment, noting "I've got a job to do and this only strengthens my resolve to help the game".

"He (Lehmann) feels some sort of personal responsibility for that". We all do. This is a awful situation.

"We can not have this happen again".

"There is a rebuild that needs to happen to reinstate the faith and the confidence and the pride that the Australian public had, and should have, in the Australian cricket team". "He is going to come back a better person, there is no doubt about that".

Speaking at the team's hotel in Johannesburg on Lehmann said he "embarrassed" and "disappointed" and "hurt for the game" and would work to make changes on his team.

"We do respect the opposition but we push the boundaries on the ground", he added.
