Stuart Broad has been accused of \u201cblatant cheating\u201d by Darren Lehmann, who has urged his Australia side to \u201cget stuck into him\u201d in the return Ashes series against England this winter.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s coach, who took over on the eve of the series when Mickey Arthur was sacked, has largely bitten his tongue as his team have fallen 3-0 down leaving them in danger of becoming statistically Australia\u2019s worst Ashes tourists before Wednesday\u2019s fifth Test at The Oval.<\/p>\n

But when asked on the music radio station Triple M about Broad\u2019s staunch defence of his refusal to walk when edging Ashton Agar to slip in the first Test at Trent Bridge, Lehmann snapped and argued that Broad\u2019s behaviour had set the tone for an especially difficult series for the umpires, by making them \u201clook like fools\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly our players haven\u2019t forgotten, they\u2019re calling him everything under the sun as they go past,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope the Australian public are the same because that was just blatant cheating. I don\u2019t advocate walking but when you hit it to first slip it\u2019s pretty hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just hope everyone gets stuck into him because the way he\u2019s carried on and the way he\u2019s commented in public about it is ridiculous. \u201cHe hit it to first slip\u2026 and the biggest problem there is the poor umpire cops all the crap that he gets in paper and Stuart Broad makes them look like fools. \u2013 The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n
